Uniqkidz Children's Camp
Hall 1 Uniqkidz Children's Camp is organized annually, during the December holidays, by the Children's Camp main committee. 'Uniqkidz' illustrates the belief that every child is special and unique, with the aim of guiding underprivileged children in discovering their potentials and appreciating themselves as the deserving and unique individual that they are.
Through exposure to interactive learning experiences - team building games and educational excursions, camp volunteers work hand in hand with the organizing committee to encourage self-confidence and self-esteem in the children. The children are treated to a real bonfire complete with campfire songs and performances put up by their friends and fellow campers. Uniqkidz Children's Camp is truly one in which the fine execution underscored the detailed planning behind its success in touching the hearts of both the children and the volunteers.
