presents CORPORATE ADVENTURE CHALLENGE: FUJI-SAN IN SUPPORT OF Y CAMP CHALLENGE

“We rise by lifting others." Robert Ingersoll UNPLUG AND UNWIND THROUGH ZEN-HIKING ABOUT - SUBASHIRI TRAIL This is not your usual Fuji climb; take a contemplative walk through Japanese forests to ascend up Japan's highest peak at 3,776m to be embraced by one of Asia's enamoured Sunrises. In partnership with YMCA Tozanso, this inaugural adventure fundraiser is in support of Y Camp Challenge, a quarterly outdoor adventure camp for persons with special needs. Mount Fuji's exceptionally symmetrical cone, is a well-known geographical, cultural and spiritual symbol of Japan, frequently depicted in art and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers. Our base camp will be YMCA Tozanso, nestled at the foot of Mount , surrounded by lush green forest, and blessed with a stunning view of Mount Fuji. We will access the mountain via the 5th Station of Subashiri route at an altitude of 1,970m, accompanied by beautiful Japanese forests up to 2,700m. Enjoy 'Zen-hiking' as we learn from and follow our local guides up to the summit! SUMMIT FOR SOMEONE

ABOUT Y CAMP CHALLENGE Persons with special needs face a mountain of challenges in living as equal members of our community as a result of their physical, intellectual or developmental impairments. Give them the gift of acquiring life skills at YMCA of Singapore’s Y Camp Challenge, a quarterly outdoor adventure camp designed to increase their level of independence through confidence building and camp activities ranging from adrenaline-rushing high rope elements and dragon-boating, to opportunities for making a choice of food and washing their own utensils after meals. The whole camp experience allows them pick up basic life skills and live independently from their caregivers for a few days.

At the same time, it provides a temporary relief for caregivers to have a break from looking after their loved ones.
