CampCraft

Campcraft is a multifaceted learning experience for NPCC cadets that goes beyond camping skills. It instills important life skills, encourages personal development, and fosters outdoor recreation.

Through campcraft, the cadet leaders 
prepare the junior cadets for Adventure Training Camp at Pulau Ubin, campcraft competitions and promotion tests. The campcraft skills learnt include tying of the 8 basic knots, lashings as well as tent pitching. Lessons are conducted in classrooms or outdoors in our school.
