Basketball CCA June Camp 3rd - 5th June 2013

The details are as follows:-

1) The Basketball Camp will be held at the Toh Tuck Campus located at 5 Toh Tuck Road, Singapore 596679. 
This is due to the extensive renovation works being carried out at the King’s Road Campus. We will be able to use the large indoor court to train, rain or shine. The camp will start at 0800h on Monday, June 3rd. It will end at 1200h on Wednesday, June 5th. We seek your assistance to provide transportation to and from school for your child. 

2) The objectives of this basketball camp are:-     
a. Foster team spirit and friendship within the CCA
b. Improve on Basketball Skills
c. Inculcate the spirit of sportsmanship and the Olympic values
d. Create and cultivate a strong basketball identity for Nanyang Basketball CCA. 

3) Based on the camp objectives, your child will be undergoing a program of basketball training as well as take part in a varied list of activities. 
We do not wish to focus only on Basketball but also to provide a holistic platform for your child to garner a set of skills and values. At the camp they can expect Basketball Trainings, a Basketball Friendly Match, a Nature Trail, play Team Games, Learn about Olympic Values, a Barbeque Dinner and more. 

4) Please note that the camp is not compulsory.
However we hope that ALL BASKETBALL CCA members can take part and join in the fun and games. We are aware that some of the pupils have signed up for courses during the school holidays. Your child may take leave during the camp provided notice has been given and a registered adult is picking your child up. Kindly direct your child to report to the teacher-in-charge before leaving and the moment he or she is back. Please fill up the form attached if you intend to withdraw your child midway through the camp.  

5) Planning and executing a camp can be a challenging task for teachers. 
We hope that some parents can volunteer to help us at this camp. We will need 4 parent volunteers (PVs) on Monday, 3rd June and Tuesday, 4th June. Parent Volunteers will be allocated to groups to help in their tasks and at meal times. During trainings and team activities, our PVs can take a breather and proceed to do their own work or rest in the comfort of the office. We can also arrange a guest ID to allow you to use the school Wi-Fi network. Please note that PVs are not allowed to stay overnight. Kindly complete the form below if you can volunteer your time and would like to join in the fun. 

6) There’s a barbeque on the second night and you are invited! 
We hope to build the CCA into an inclusive community and we would like to hold a barbeque session on the second night – Tuesday, 4th June. Basketball CCA members can invite their parents and siblings down for a good time. We will hold some party games for everybody along with some prizes to give away. Any sponsors for food, drinks, prizes or cash will be deeply appreciated and acknowledged. Do note that camp participants will stay for the night after their family members have left.

Warmest regards,


Mr Eugene Ng
