Hi Year-3 parents..


In the midst of packing for OBS..

May I ask how many bags are your boys bringing to OBS ? DS says they will be given a back-pack at the camp (he heard from his seniors), so he wants to bring only one hand-carrier. But the carrier is too small to contain all the items (haven't put in sleeping bag, 3x 1.5L bots of water, shoes & sandals yet..)..

May I ask if the 3x 'reusable plastic bottles for drinking purposes' are supposed to be empty bottles or filled bottles? We packed filled bottles, SOOO heavy !

A friend just told me that she packed empty bottles..

I am SOOO confused now.. :gloomy:

We also have 2X 1.5L bottles in our orientation camp packing list. And I intend to bring 1 filled and 1 empty. I’m assuming it’s for drinking purposes? In any case I think I will drop my boys in school on Tues. Too heavy to take public transport !

I packed empty bottles as they have drinking fountain in school to refill anyway

DS said don't need fill both bottles, so I think just fill 1 ltr will do. Remember to bring a smaller water bottel for pouring from the big one and to drink from.
