self improvement by self discovery through experienceB.O.A.T.Basic Outdoor Adventure Training.
The B.O.A.T. course was initiated by the Toa Payoh Central CC Youth Group and supported by the PA Adventure Team to provide youths with the opportunity to learn adventure skills and safety aspects of adventure; create the awareness and promote adventure sports and to recruit potential adventure leaders. Since its inception in 1985, more than 400 youths have graduated from the 12 B.O.A.T. courses organized biennally. Through this course, the participants further their adventure skills in camp craft, first aid, abseiling, map reading and rock climbing. The strong bonding forged during the course prompted many participants to join the youth committee and serve the community. With 13th B.O.A.T coming, what are you waiting for?
A.P.C.Abseiling Proficiency Courses.
Also known rappelling, this in-house certification course provides participants with a basic knowledge and understanding of rope work and safety techniques in the art of descend down a cliff surface, while still having the control in your own hands. With the set up abseiling site within the club's compound, we can expect more abseiling amateurs coming our way. Join us on our abseiling expeditions such as caving and canyoning after completing APC2. We will include practise and refresher sessions free of charge for you. If you're craving for more, be delighted. Because our abseiling facilities are available for rental. Choose from any of the 16 sites around the club's compound.

Community.Immersion.
The adventure club has worked closely with junior colleges and played an active role in promoting outdoor experiences amongst youths in Singapore.
