1) Singapore Adventurers’ Club (SAC)
About SAC
In the early 1960′s, a group of adventurous young people with a common interest in outdoor activities got together to form a club for other like-minded people. 12 of them formed a pro tem committee and registered the club in August 1963. Thus was formed the Singapore Adventurers’ Club, the first all-volunteer adventure club in Singapore.
From a membership of about 20 when it was first established, SAC is more than 500-strong today. Significantly, of the original 12 founder members in the pro tem committee, 4 of them continue to play a significant role in the Club’s activities.
SAC organised its first mountain trekking expedition to Mount Ophir in West Malaysia in 1963 and has not looked back since.
Although Mount Ophir continues to be a favourite destination, SAC teams have scaled Mount Kinabalu (East Malaysia), Gunung Tahan (West Malaysia), Mount Apo (Philippines), Mount Rinjani (Indonesia), Kalapatta (Nepal), Jade Mountain (Taiwan), and Mount Wilhelm (Papua New Guinea), just to name a few. In recent years, our members scaled trekking peaks like Mera (6,476m), Parcharmo (6,187m), Imja Tse (6,189m), Paldor (5,928m) in Nepal, and climbing Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa, becomes an annual affair.
In keeping with its focus on adventure, the Club has Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to scale Mount Everest, as its patron.
About OUTDOOR Life
Outdoor Life is the largest outdoor goods retailer in Singapore. It was founded by a group of active people who climb, run, swim and cycle regularly. Collectively, we have been to remote areas of Asia, North America, Europe and Oceania; experiencing numbing cold from the arctic region in Greenland to the blazing heat of the Australian desert. We survive by pushing the gear we sell to the limit.
At Outdoor Life, we are committed to share with you our passion for the great outdoors. Whether you’re looking for a casual jacket for that business trip to Beijing in December, or a climbing junkie looking to launch an expedition in the Himalayas; we will gladly share our product knowledge and our love for outdoor life with you.
About Campers’ Corner
Since 1989, we have been outfitting every types of outdoor lover: from weekend trekkers and backpackers to suitcase travelers and adventure seekers. Today, we are one of the most comprehensive outdoor gear stores in Singapore.
Singapore? A tiny city island in the South East Asia which has no large national parks, great lakes, and whose highest peak is a mere 164 meters. We have indeed come a long way.
Our team is made of all outdoor enthusiasts, driven with a passion for the great outdoor and a sincere professional interest to share this enthusiasm with all nature lovers. Our many years of experience have taught us one simple lesson: quality must never be compromised. Safety and comfort make all the difference in the world, especially when traveling roads less travelled. That’s why we carefully select the products we carry. We don’t carry products that we don’t use. If it’s not good enough for us, it’s not good enough for you.
Our fundamental aim is to be your one source for outdoor gears and equipments.
We thank our customers for their belief and support throughout the years. We are proud to present our new On-line Store. We hope shopping with us will be informative and fun as always.
Let our knowledge and passion “gear you up” for your next adventure in the great outdoors!
