If you want to join a CCA that does this…

Or this…

You have come to the right place!

What will your journey in ODAC be like?

It would start with the annual Basic Training Camp at Pulau Ubin, which serves as an introduction to the CCA. This is where you get to bond with your new batch mates and hone your camping skills such as tent pitching and outdoor cooking.

ODAC is bustling with activities throughout the year!
First, we host Raffles Race which is an annual school-wide event that the Year 5 & 6 student population can join! Groups will be put through a series of games that will test their wits and physical strength. The group that overcomes every challenge and perseveres till the end will enjoy the taste of victory. 2023’s theme for Raffles Race was “Heist of the High Seas”, where participants took part in a series of pirate-themed station games spread out across Sentosa Island.

Next, we organise ODACIA, an alumni gathering together with the Year 5 & 6 batches. Everyone returns back to school and spends an afternoon playing games, reuniting with their batchmates, and sharing about their experience in ODAC and adventures they had after they graduated!

What would the outdoors be without expeditions? 
Every year, the Year 5s get the opportunity to go for two overseas expeditions. We are embarking on our year-end expedition at the end of 2023 to MacLehose Trail, Hong Kong. It is a 100-kilometre hiking trail that offers some of the most stunning mountain and sea views around!

Here are some other activities ODACians engage in!
Ever navigated through a cave in the dark? Been there and done that!

Cycling at Coney Island and Punggol Waterway

Our CCA sessions are usually held on Mondays (4.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m.) and Wednesdays (8.00 a.m. to 11.00 a.m./12.00 p.m.). Mondays are reserved for skills and physical training. Essential skills like first aid, knot tying, tent pitching and backpacking are taught. PT games are conducted to maintain our members’ physical fitness while having fun in the process!

Our Wednesday training sessions are meant for outdoor activities like hikes and backwoodsman cooking! On some Wednesdays, ODAC picks up our backpacks and sets out on a route to immerse in the outdoors and the rich local natural heritage that we rarely experience. Every hike is an opportunity to learn something new. 

Here are some hikes we have gone for!
