Through a rigorous schedule of activities, including Morning PT, Drill Practice, Firing, Skeet Shooting, Aeromodelling, Drone Operation, Specialist and Common Subject Classes, Sports Competitions, and Cultural Practices, cadets are immersed in an environment that nurtures adaptability, tolerance, and mutual respect. These activities are designed to challenge cadets, encouraging them to view challenges as opportunities for growth and self-discovery.
For many, the camp is a humbling experience, particularly for cadets from affluent backgrounds who gain a deeper appreciation for the privileges they enjoy at home. The shared experiences in the camp foster camaraderie and unity, breaking down barriers and instilling values of empathy and teamwork.
