Camp X
At Extra•Ordinary People, it is our daily privilege to journey with our beneficiaries. And now, thanks to the amazing organising team of volunteers led by Theresa Goh and Kethlyn G, we also got to camp with a whole new group of friends! This was the first of its kind, organised by a team of people with disabilities for people with disabilities.
We felt so much care and camaraderie in the three days of Camp Extraordinary (Camp X), held from May 31st to July 2nd 2024. There were games and bonding aplenty. The pace of activities was organic, moving and challenging each participant in an environment brimming with encouragement and cheers.
Volunteers & Befrienders, you made this possible ♡ . We are deeply humbled and inspired by your dedication. Your support turned this vision into reality, reinforcing our mission to steer our nation towards actively including persons with disabilities as the standard of an intelligent modern nation.

About 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. Chaired by Singapore Paralympian Theresa Goh, the organising committee has a leadership team of persons with disabilities, ensuring a genuine understanding of disability and rich lived experiences to guide the camp experience.
Camp X is supported by Extraordinary People Limited, a local charity running programmes for persons with disabilities and special needs and their caregivers.
