A full refund would be given if withdrawal is made 7 days or more before the camp. No refund would be given if withdrawal is made less than 7 days before the camp.

6. Can I join if I’m unable to bike/skate etc?

Definitely! Our activities are all aimed at the uninitiated SMUXtremist so zero proficiency of any activity is required. Furthermore, we have experienced group leaders who will be able to take care of the less proficient participants.

7. Can I join even if I have not obtained a water-proficiency certificate?

Yes. Participants, who are able to swim but do not have any form of water proficiency certification, can still join SMUX Camp. However, in order to ensure safety of all participants, they are required to undergo a water proficiency orientation program, before they are allowed to participate in water activities like Kayaking and Diving during the camp.

The water proficiency orientation program is a short test held at the SMU pool. It lasts less than an hour and participants choose to go on the 4^th, 5^th, or 7^th July. Participants will be tested on drown proofing, treading water and a 50m swim.

8. What is the difference between SMUX camp and Sports Camp?

SMUX Camp offers participants engaging outdoor adventure activities like skating, trekking, biking, diving, kayaking and laser tag. On the other hand, Sports Camp offers sports that are more competitive in nature.

9. Am I allowed to leave during the camp due to other commitments?

Yes, please do indicate on the sign-up form if you are leaving during the camp.
