Class location

Location will vary depending on which part of Cebu S.O.S.C. has chosen as venue. We will be hiking for hours with loaded backpacks and will be camping for 2Days & 1Night. Students/participants shall be required to bring their own camping gear, pack/prepare their own food, and hydration needs. A water-source will be available at camp (natural spring). Heads up, it will be a wild camping experience with less amenities since we want our students to experience a real-life tropical wilderness camp setting. At times you will be crossing streams and each participants are required to wear shoes/boots at all times when moving.

Trail difficulty and venue shall be indicated on the tickets provided for this event depending on what season the schedule has occurred.

What Gear do I need to bring?

Clothing: We suggest that you come dressed to spend a day outdoors where weather can change. The weather in the country is quite unpredictable so even if it is sunny, include rain gears in your pack.

Shelter: Tents with good waterproofing, tarps, or hammocks w/tarps will be applicable at camp. However we highly recommend you bring tents so you can also secure all your gears inside while the training is on-going.
