Helen Clare Rozario,
mother of Sophie Clare, 7 years old (Jeju, 2024)
“The mere fact that Sophie Clare, as a neurodivergent child, gifted with ADHD and Dyslexia, showed interest in writing on the first day of the programme truly surprised me and touched my heart. It offered compelling insight into alternative, more effective learning methods when creativity was incorporated for her.
The facilitators were professional, respectful, and had an intuitive connection with the children. Although I wasn't present, this was noticed when Sophie Clare discussed how the day went and observed through her interactions with the facilitators during drop-off and pick-up. The way she interacted with them clearly reflected the level of trust and comfort she felt with them.
Despite the drop-off requirement, the whole experience significantly transformed both of us and further strengthened our already close mother-daughter bond. It also unlocked another level of independence and autonomy for her, and the act of letting go for me. I am also pretty pleased with the fact that I was able to work productively with a peace of mind and ease while she was engaged in the camp. I even managed to do some sightseeing on my own during free moments when I wasn't working.”
Gwen Ho,
Mother of Emily, 8 years old
(Chiang Mai, 2024)
“A well-thought-out parent-child bonding experience! It was a truly meaningful, screen-free time spent with Emily. We enjoyed every aspect of the trip, from the photo-taking to the journaling, and the walk through Pak Chor. The picnic was a lovely touch; visiting a local school, interacting with the students, and playing games with the CCO kids were all valuable experiences. You both clearly worked hard behind the scenes! A special thank you for empowering the Singaporean kids to teach the Thai students basic photography skills—seeing Emily step up was wonderful!
This trip holds so much meaning for me! It was my first solo-parenting holiday, and it has given me the confidence to embark on more adventures with Emily. Thank you also for your recommendations on where to stay and what to do, as well as for providing the option of transportation to the campsite for non-drivers like me!”
Kian,
Mother of Hong Yi and Zhi Yuan, 11 and 6 years old
(Chiang Mai, 2024)
“My sons and I recently attended Gosh! Kids' camp in Chiangmai. It was an incredible experience. The camp offered a perfect blend of culture, learning, outdoor and community interaction experience. The activities were thoughtfully crafted to encourage collaboration and communication among family members.
The facilitators were approachable and attentive, ensuring that all participants felt comfortable and engaged. They guided us through each activity with enthusiasm and providing valuable insights into effective family dynamics. Communication with the camp was excellent, with regular updates and easy access for any questions or concerns.”
Jing Li,
Mother of Caleb, 8 years old
(Chiang Mai, 2024)
“I went without expectations nor planning but was very much looking forward to a "planned-for" holiday and 1:1 time with Caleb. I was attracted to the part on exposing our privileged children to life beyond comfortable Singapore and am very glad that he was able to make keen observations and be involved in the well thought-out activities throughout the trip (even though he had to go beyond his comfort zone).
Miss G and teacher Mat were superb with kids, even teacher Max (their 3 yo son) - he added so much joy to the whole experience! Loved that the only screen time Caleb had during camp was on conventional digicam, and watching him journaling at the end of each day. I was truly surprised to see my introverted boy mingling so well with his new friends from the start, forging cute precious friendships - he has been asking about his new bestie since we returned! Looking forward to drop-off camps for Caleb with his younger sibling in the near future.”
Gurmit and Denise,
parents of Trent, 8 years old
(Jeju, 2024)
“What we initially thought would be wholly indoors turned out to be a very interactive and eye opening programme that consisted of storytelling, hiking, photography, marine life exploration, and a unique hands-on experience using unripe persimmon juices as dye. Trent’s imagination and curiosity were stoked and inspired by the engaging facilitators who were encouraging cheerleaders pushing the boundaries of creativity and uplifting his confidence. The facilitators were always on hand to update parents at pick up time.
Trent truly was sad when it ended, which only goes to show how much fun he had making new memories and friends, and absorbing the world beyond Singapore.”
FAQs

As a creative arts programme provider, we are in constant search for powerful ways to strengthen creativity in our children. We recognise that the world is our oyster—creativity is not confined to what we find familiar or to our immediate surroundings.
There are benefits in exploring fresh and new frontiers. Children can learn effectively about the world and discover their creative identities by experiencing novel and foreign expressions. Through our overseas creative-culture camps, we want to bridge the world into their lives.
