IT
wasn’t too long
ago that Ipoh’s Lost

to experience
“Camping Under
The Stars”, a three-

event within the
park’s exciting
“genetic make-up”.
The children had
a chance to engage in
a series of activities,
enjoying a holistic
educational
experience. One of
the many activities
they got to partake in
was making masks of
their favourite animal from scratch.
This provided a chance for the
children to tap into their inner
creativity.
Other activities included the 6th
Mile Tunnel Exploration, which
put the young participants’ ability
to work as a team to test and
sharpened their senses.
The younger campers were put
through less difficult experiences
like the Jungle Adventure
Challenge obstacle course which
tested their physical health and
KraniumKrushers: Animal Jigsaw,
designed to develop their logical
thinking skills, concentration,
attention visual and spatial
thinking, and test their knowledge.
“This is a great way to spend the
school holidays ... to break free
from technology and connect with
nature, explore the great outdoors
while learning about sustainability
in a hands-on, fun way,” said
LWOT general manager Nurul
Nuzairi.
