Come on down to where the Sun, Sand and Sea unites!
BBHQ - Zion Road
Along Grange Road, you will find the Boys' Brigade in Singapore Headquarters. As a former school compound, it has some classrooms, a small field and dormitories which can use for small group camping experience. Activities would have to be out of the HQ utilising spaces like Labrador park, hikes along the Serangoon River and city based activities.
Pulau Ubin
Pulau Ubin is an island off eastern Singapore and often considered the last 'kampung' (village) in Singapore. A walk through Ubin takes you back to Singapore in the 1960's with the slow lane starts as soon as you join the queue for the bumboat at Changi. You can spend a great day trip hiking or cycling through rustic roads under swaying coconut palms, exploring shady trails in overgrown rubber plantations, checking out secluded beaches and flourishing mangroves.
With a few places to pitch tents in Pulau Ubin, this is an excellent platform to hone campers' outdoor skills and acquire a wholesome experience.
PA Water Venture Sembawang
The 8,671 sq m Water-Venture facility, which cannot be seen from the main road, is a 15-minute stroll from the nearest bus stop after Andrews Avenue, a private residential area. Built in 2008, the centre offers a resplendent view of the Strait of Johor as well as activities such as kayaking and sea-rafting. It also organises nature trails and orienteering courses in the nearby forests.
The centre lets visitors pitch tents and camp in the great outdoors while allowing for the less adventurous to book a bunk in the four dormitories on site, which can sleep 40 people each. It is the only Water-Venture outlet, among the eight islandwide, that offers dormitories and camping facilities.
