MOE Jalan Bahtera Adventure Centre

Ministry of Education (Singapore) Jalan Bahtera Outdoor Adventure Learning Centre is located in the north-western region of Singapore, off Lim Chu Kang Road. Located in an idyllic setting, the centre exudes a charmas it faces the sea and is surrounded by much greenery. The centre can accommodate 320 participants in 2-storey longhouse-style dormitories with activity areas beneath each dormitory. The centre also has a Multi-Purpose Hall and dining hall to support various camping activities. The centre is equipped with a range of adventure facilities like a 2-Tier High Challenge Course, Rock Climbing wall, Abseil and Zipline Tower, Low Elements and an Artificial Caving System for team-building.

The adventure facilities at JBOALC underwent enhancements in 2014. The High Challenge Course now has two tiers to offer different levels of challenges to participants depending on their ability and readiness. The course is also designed to allow participants to work individually or in teams. An artificial caving system was added to the centre in 2015, offering opportunities for problem-solving and decision-making in teams in a safe and well-monitored environment. The caving experiences can be varied to suit the needs of students from different age groups.

The nearby Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve and Kranji Nature Trail offer excellent opportunities for experiences in nature. The centre is also located near the Kranji countryside which is occupied by a variety of farms. This rich tapestry of surroundings provides abundant opportunities for learning about flora and fauna as well as the livelihoods unique to such areas.
