Wildlings Island Camp at Batu Batu

A nature-immersive outdoor camp for children aged 6 to 12.

Seven days of island adventures, designed for families to join in their own rhythm, whether for a session, a day, or more.

22 June – 5 July 2026

The Perfect Playground for Discovery, Resilience, and Real Adventure

Most children spend a holiday at Batu Batu, swimming, snorkeling, and playing on the beach. Wildlings’ children do all of that… and then more.

Rooted in the Forest School ethos, this programme gives children the freedom to explore, create, and challenge themselves, guided by the extraordinary island around them. Through water-based adventures, forest exploration, island challenges, and hands-on creative experiences, children engage wholeheartedly because what we learn with pleasure, we never forget.

What to expect?

  • A new adventure every day, seven daily themes: Ocean Explorers, Marine Biologist for a Day, Castaway, Island Heritage, Wild Skills, Grow & Cook, and Expedition. Each day stands on its own, so kids can join anytime without missing out.
  • Fun first. Always: This is a holiday camp, not a classroom. Every session is built around play, movement, and challenge - with confidence, creativity, and awareness growing through doing.
  • Three sessions, with time in between: Morning (9:30–12:00), afternoon (2:30–5:00), and evening (7:00–8:30). The rest of the day is free for lunch, pool time, and family.
  • The island is the playground: Batu Batu’s landscape shapes every session, from seagrass and coral reefs to forest trails, mangroves, gardens, and the turtle hatchery.
  • A community from day one: Each morning starts with icebreakers, so every child feels included. By day two, they’re already finding each other beyond the sessions.
  • Fully flexible: Join for a day, a few days, or the full week. No need to start from the beginning, because every day is a complete experience.
  • Evenings for the whole family: Parents are welcome to join us on ghost crab hunts, stargazing, night walks, campfires, and nature films.
  • One coach to ten children: Wildings maintain a 1:10 coach to children ratio with a maximum of 20 children per group, ensuring every child gets the attention and support they need.

Who's it for?

For ages 6 -12 (with older children welcome). 5-year-olds can join with an older sibling.

Designed for both the eager explorer and the hesitant starter, each child joins in at their own pace through shared adventure.

Parents are welcome for the Day 2 beach clean-up and art session, as well as all evening documentaries.

A Flexible Camp, Shaped Around Your Family Stay

This is more than a camp drop-off. It’s an island stay shaped around adventure, discovery, and time together as a family. Across the week, children can join themed full-day activities or take part in individual sessions in the morning, afternoon, or evening, depending on what suits your family’s rhythm best.

Camp participation is available at SGD 120 / MYR 370 per child, per day, regardless of whether your child joins one session or multiple sessions within the day. You’ll only be charged for the total number of camp days selected at the point of booking.

Families staying between 21 June and 9 July 2026 will enjoy exclusive villa rates for Wildlings camp bookings. Please refer below for full details.
