2026 Camp X
CAMP X IS BACK! CAMP LEADERS & VOLUNTEERS WANTED!
Camp X is back, and we’re gearing up for another transformative experience! Join us in empowering youth with disabilities through adventure, learning, and connection. Together, we will make an unforgettable impact on their lives—and yours!
What is Camp X?
Camp Extraordinary, or simply Camp X, is a first of its kind, 3-day/2-night camp for youths, aged 16 to 20 with physical, sensory, intellectual, and developmental disabilities, to engage in a vibrant mix of recreational, educational, and vocational activities, all while forming meaningful connections with peers and mentors.
Camp X is a volunteer-led and volunteer-run event, co-chaired by Singapore Paralympian Maximilian Tan, and Zack Lim, both returning committee members. The organising committee includes a leadership team of persons with disabilities, bringing authentic perspectives and lived experiences to shape the camp.
The camp aims to help participants broaden their friendship circles and build confidence in a supportive environment. Each camper will be paired with a volunteer befriender, who will assist them throughout the three days, encouraging them to navigate new experiences and enhance their self-assurance.
Camp X aspires to inspire these youths by showcasing the possibilities for their futures.
