Hi peepsI was so fascinated by how well this camp was run and how much fun and learning K got out of it that I initially wanted to write an article about it. Unfortunately I did not manage to prioritise it early enough, so I am just forwarding you the brochure here with this note. Methinks Singaporeans will love it cos the curriculum is very kiasu - everything also teach one ah! :)
There are lots of other fun activities besides drawing, and they get to move around, not just sit there the whole day. I think this camp is best for school-age kids (definitely primary school, maybe lower secondary). I was tickled pink when K returned with fists full of dollars, i mean THOUSANDS of dollars, from Cartoon Kingdom, and later earned even more with his massage stall on Market Day (last day). Not sure if they will have water fights in the Singapore version (should be same curriculum i think) but K sure had fun with that when he attended his first camp in Perth last holidays. He has declared this is his fav among all the different camps we send him to, and we are definitely booking him in for the next ones! :) In Singapore, it will be held in the Red Cross HQ in Bishan and you can pick and choose days to attend, or attend every day (we did the whole lot!). I was intrigued that even after nine straight hours there, K wanted to stay for the night camp! Danny and his gang certainly know how to engage and manage kids! Just think of the paktor (dating) possibilities if you throw syour kids there the whole day :D Oh i forgot, not so crucial in Singapore where you have maids :)K's favs were
1) Night Camp where they got to play "Murder in the Dark" and
2) Market Day on the last day - his massage stall was so popular he had to "hire" two more kids to run it with him! LOL.I particularly liked that the camp taught them about money in a fun way. There is a story behind it, i had the good fortune to chat with the very friendly and approachable boss Danny here in Perth (he obviously loves kids and has several of his own). He has always loved drawing, and learnt how to turn his creative interest into a thriving business by learning entrepreneurial skills from his folks at an early age. I hope this email doesn't get to you too late, and you can still get a slice of the AWESOME Cartooning Camp experience. Wah, such a convenient venue, just drop the kids off and then escape to Bishan Junction 8 to shop, eat, watch a movie or all of the above :)

Dear Mr & Mrs Png,
We hope Kenith is enjoying being back at school for 2010.
Please find attached our new Singapore Cartooning program. You mentioned to Danny when he was running the program in Fremantle that you have friends & family in Singapore with children. Please feel free to forward the program to these people.
