Let’s Go To Camp This School Holiday
The year end school holiday is fast approaching. For many parents, it can be a harrowing time as the kids all stay home! As a working mum, it doesn’t affect me as much. However, I do not like my kids to idle the holidays away doing nothing. I am always thinking of letting them learn something new during this time.

This December school holiday, we will sending Josiah to his first ever sleepaway camp, not for one night or two nights but for 5 days 4 nights! Camping and staying overnight away from home was never something strange for me. I came from a family of 4 girls and my parents used to always send us to our aunts’ and uncles’ houses during school holidays. I guess now it was because they needed a break from us! I even remembered having sleepovers at my friend’s house when I was really young and had my first rough camp at 14 with just sleeping bags on bamboo floors back in Sarawak. I continued going…
