Outbac Broga is in Semenyih, which is about 45 mins from KL. All campers from PJ & KL will meet in a central meeting point (TBC) and be transported by bus to the campsite. Campers from outstation can make own arrangements to meet directly there.
Will the camp be similar to the previous year's camp?

Firstly, we can't stress enough about how important it is for a child to first be willing and excited to come for this camp. It will help if your child has a close friend that is going with him or her.
Can I visit my child during the Camp?
We have a very exciting and fun-packed program planned for your child. It would be best to let him or her benefit from the camp without any distractions. However, if there are any emergencies, feel free to give us a call and we will help you do the necessary.
What can I expect from my child after the camp?
Let us be upfront to tell you that we are not miracle workers! But, we can assure parents that after the camp, your child will have greater awareness of what it is to be a leader and have a better understanding of his/her own strength and opportunities for growth. And this is a big step to a brighter future. The development of a child's character and leadership qualities will require continuous support and guidance from the parents themselves.
