A Night At The Airport 2D1N Family Camp

What do you say to a family camping trip deep in the forest, amidst the wonderful sound of mother nature, with the crickets’ chirps lulling you to sleep and waking up to the sound of birds calling? I do not know about you but it sure sounded great to me, especially when it is air-conditioned and confirmed mosquito-free!

Look how at home the Si Ginna is!

That was exactly what we did last week over in the Night At The Airport 2D1N Family Camp which I attended with the 4 older kiddos. We started the day early, with a visit to the team from the Airport Emergency Service Experience. Awesome fun learning how to save casualties, put out fires, get into cool vehicles and listen to real-life sharing by the team as well!

Learning more about the airport’s first responders!

Kiddos and adults can all try out some of the suits for photos!

We got to check out all the cool vehicles as well!

The kiddos learning how to properly put out a fire with the extinguisher! 

It was then followed by an exclusive tour of their Changi Nursery, which although is just beside the runway, is still quite a long coach ride away. And it is there where the kiddos get to build their own “green wall” with moss in the workshop to bring back and adults can buy back beautiful potted fauna as well! 

Kids get to enjoy building the "green wall" but adults can also pay to join in!

So this is where the sunflowers in the airport come from, and we even got some seeds to try planting too!

Awesome spot for some vacay-feeling photos!

Well, it can get pretty hot so one must drink up!

Learning about the Bougainvillea ‘Changi Airport’ that was recently discovered! Learn more here!

Then come the best part of all, as the kiddos get to attend a design-thinking workshop where they get to stretch their creativity while us adults get to relax in Changi Lounge for 2 hours! Woohoo! We also had access to bathing facilities within the lounge before getting into Changi Experience Studio for exclusive playtime from 8pm onwards as only campers had access to the place!

In their design-thinking workshop!

The only time when one can roam around in pajamas!

They had the whole place to themselves lor! So fun, but so tiring for adults!

We were allocated the area in the Garden of Harmony and our tents were already set up for us when we were refreshing ourselves. Kidding you not, my kiddos were super excited when shown the camp and we had so much fun playing games under the (artificial) stars without any worries about the weather! 

We are already missing this campsite. Really feels like being in the jungle but with all the creature comfort. 

Many had asked us what to look out for and the necessities to bring along. I think the chance of parents overpacking is quite high. If you ask me, just portable charger for your mobile (bring along power plug as you might get lucky), a change of clothing, towels, toothbrush and toothpaste will do lah. 

Please do note that we were only issued a "sleeping cushion" hor and they had recommended sleeping bags. We brought along but also never use in the end because we can sleep anyhow and anywhere lah. 

In any case, bring along your sense of fun and adventure, and treasure the precious family-bonding time! You can find out more information and also do your online booking of the camp over here - https://www.changiairport.com/en/changifestivevillage/stay/a-night-at-the-airport.html.
