NJC ODAC Night Hike
-;
Hi guys, NJC ODAC has invited us to join them for their Night Hike event. Here are the details:
This year’s inter-school challenge is accompanied by an extraordinary theme: [A taste of the unknown: excite your senses.] The enthralling games will decide on the food given, where varying performances will give groups the option of eating tasty or nasty food. Night Hike 2011 is a race not to be missed by fun-loving outdoor goers as it tests your endurance, speed and wits. It has incorporated the long-awaited surprise-factor and mystery element to test your courage, eye for details and fortitude for puzzle solving! It will also satisfy those stomachs with love for food!
This inter-school challenge will definitely set a good note for many new ODAC members of the J1 batch! This is would be a worthwhile experience for them to step out of their comfort zone and experience the outdoors. Groups can look forward to winning attractive prizes and vouchers from sponsors such as Udders,Frolick, 77th Street, Mr Bean and many more!

NY ODAC was established in 1978 and was formerly known as OAC. The motto of OAC was
"The experience is YOURS".
During that time, OAC focused more on discipline and was more regimental as compared to the current ODAC. Mrs Koh was the teacher-in-charge then.
Furthermore, 4 marine groups, namely Blue Whale, Dolphin, Marlin and Stingray were initiated in the early years of OAC.
In 2003, Mr Thaddeus Lawrence took over the 1st ODAC. The 1st ODAC is also known as the 25th OAC and has a strength of about 20.
Mr Lawrence took part in the Sahara Desert Run in July 2009.
The motto of ODAC is
"Challenge your limits". As an odacian,we strive to explore and push our limits, be it physically or mentally, especially when participating in outdoors activities.
