Frequently asked questions

Have questions? We’re here to help

Who is the programme suitable for? 

Island Explorer is designed for children aged 7–12 years (P1-P6) who enjoy outdoor activities and learning through fun. No prior outdoor or navigation experience is required. Activities are structured and guided to suit different age groups and abilities.

What is the coach-to-child ratio?

Children are grouped in small teams, with a maximum coach-to-child ratio of 1:10.


Group sizes are kept small to ensure individual attention and a supportive learning environment.

What is the programme experience like?

Your child can look forward to a fun and purposeful outdoor adventure at Sentosa Island. Guided by our coaches, children will explore different habitats and learn about the island’s native flora and fauna through hands-on activities. They’ll rotate through various exploration stations, practise map reading and real-life navigation, and work together in teams to complete challenges. Throughout the programme, children build confidence, resilience, and self-management skills while nurturing curiosity for the outdoors and a spirit of adventure.

Will lunch be provided?

Yes, a bento lunch set will be provided for this programme. 

Is the outdoor programme very physically demanding? 

Activities are age-appropriate and guided. Children are encouraged but not pushed beyond their limits.

What are your safety policies?

Your child’s safety and well-being are our top priorities. We maintain strict child supervision ratios, conduct risk assessments before every activity, and have facilitators trained in first aid and emergency procedures. Parents will be contacted immediately in case of emergencies.

Can I stay with my child during the programme?

We’ve found that children engage and participate best when they have the freedom to explore and interact independently. For that reason, we generally recommend that parents do not sit in during the session.

What should my child bring? 

Parents will receive a detailed Info Pack closer to the programme date. In general, children should come with:

  • Comfortable outdoor clothing and covered shoes
  • A water bottle
  • Sun protection (cap, sunscreen)
  • Any personal medication (if required)

All learning materials will be provided.

Can I get a refund if my child can’t attend?

Programme fees are non-refundable once your booking is confirmed. This includes cases of late arrival, early departure, non-attendance, or withdrawal after enrolment.


You may request to transfer your booking to another available programme of equal value, subject to availability. All change requests can be made online/ through a written notice to hello@ha-academy.com at least 5 working days before the start date of the programme.


If a programme is cancelled by HA Academy due to unforeseen circumstances (as set out in our Terms & Conditions), you may choose to receive a full refund or transfer your enrolment to a future date.


We understand that exceptional situations can arise. Requests relating to serious medical conditions or other compelling reasons may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis at the Academy’s discretion. Please refer to our full Refund Policy for details.

Will there be toilet & water breaks?

Yes. Regular toilet, hydration, and rest breaks are built into all of our programmes. For outdoor programmes, breaks are scheduled more frequently to ensure participants remain comfortable, safe, and well-hydrated throughout the day.

What happens if it rains?

We have wet-weather contingency plans in place. Activities may be modified, relocated, or replaced with suitable alternatives to ensure safety and comfort, while still achieving the intended learning outcomes.
