Disconnect to Connect: Rebuild the Connection with Nature

The Holiday Camp is an annual event organised by SIS Surabaya. The holiday camp for Upper Primary to Junior College students was held for three days on December 4, 5, and 6, 2023, at Radisa Hill Villa and Resort in Pacet, Mojokerto.

The program, with the theme 'Disconnect to connect: Rebuild the connection with Nature's help,' aimed to assist students in reconnecting with their friends during their stay in the rural area.

Students had a great time participating in numerous exciting activities such as hiking, paintball war, and rafting. Through participation in circuit-post-games and team-building exercises, they also learned how to enhance their communication, planning, delegating, and problem-solving skills.

We sincerely hope that the students will keep the connection they made during the event and transmit it to others at school.
