Now on its second year of camping
season, Alviera is announcing and accepting participants to Alviera Hero Camp to be held on October 15 to 16, 2016 (Saturday to
Sunday). This year, camping experience is unique because it is themed as a
training camp for wannabe heroes.
Yes, the Alviera Hero Camp is for those who dream to become a superhero as part
of their lifetime. Here is your chance to become one by participating over a weekend
of purposeful adventure and learning. Participants will experience the thrills
of hero role-playing throughout their stay at the camp. They will learn and
earn some of the attributes on what makes a hero.
Aspiring participants could be as
young as 4 to 5 years old to join this zero-to-hero camp adventure experience in
a campsite with an estimate capacity of 300 campers particularly for the events
of Alviera Hero Camp.
The camp will offer a Hero Training Crash Course for kids and
those kids-at-heart in the Hero Basics
101. Here, the participant is
introduced to a short outdoor survival course led by expert adventurers and
outdoor guides.
After deciding on a hero name, participants can complete the new identity at the Costume Crafting Corner. Here they can create their hero mask or jazz up their own hero costumes.
The KAPOW! Hero Combat Training
will teach heroes some evil-fighting skills. Martial art masters will
demonstrate and teach self defense moves practice on the spot. For their first
task, the newly trained heroes will battle monsters through an outdoor archery
maze in the Monster Obstacle Course of
Aqtiv Archery.
When evening comes, there will be
a Parade of Heroes where kids are wearing
their hero costumes and can go trick-or-treat across the booths and tents at
the campsite as an anticipated celebration of the Halloween .
If one has to look for galaxies
to save far, far away, the Mind Museum
will lead stargazing activities in the star-studded skies of Alviera. It
will be an exciting experience with astronomical experts guiding naked-eye
stargazing with laser pointers and telescopic viewing of planets and the moon. In
each one-hour activity, participants will learn about planispheres, astrolabes,
orienteering with the stars, and identifying different constellations.
To make the evening awake, the
campsite has a widescreen superhero movie shows for everyone to enjoy watching.
Day 2 activities will start with
Breakfast of Champions. Wake up to a buffet fit for superheroes. It is a special spread for campers who are
ready to face the new day as the heroes they truly are.
Aside from all this excitements
in the camp, the SandBox attractions will be open for visitors to rev up their
hero training. That means the Giant
Swing, Aerial Walk, Adventure Tower’s free fall, rappel,
wall climbing, plus Avatar One
rollercoaster zipline are open for players. They can also have the outdoor
archery, the children’s playground, and mini-golf course to try. SandBox has
announced that for the first time, by the last quarter of this year (i.e. in
October), it will have its night operation every weekend to the delight of many
visitors because they will be enjoying the amenities minus the intense heat of
the sun and to accommodate the expanding number of visitors. Everyone can enjoy
day and night with the camping facilities.
SandBox will have its evening operations for the Hero Camp.
Its new hours will be from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
Eventually, regular night operations will be launched in the latter part of the year.
The main event for the month of October
would be the Halloween, where participants are given the chance to dress up in
costumes for fun and that would be the best part of the occasion as they will gain
something positive in dressing up and changing into costume. So instead of
scaring each other as with Halloween, everyone is encouraged to do something better,
the way a hero does. It will be a camping weekend filled with fun and thrills and
for everybody to discover the superhero in them.
The campsite welcomes those who
would come wearing their own superhero costumes. Everyone will get a chance to
win Alviera prizes. All they have to do is to post on social media their best
superhero photos in Alviera with hashtag, #ALVIERAHEROCAMP.
Being that safety is the top
priority of SandBox, elaborate costumes will not be allowed when trying out
SandBox attractions, particularly those that would restrict physical movements.
As a precaution, it might be best to leave your secret identity in your
vehicles or in your tents.
For practical reasons, those who
would try SandBox attractions are required to be in perfect physical condition
to enjoy the outdoor facilities. Pregnant women and people with health
conditions such as hypertension, cardiovascular disorders, and orthopedic
problems, among others, are advised not to use the facilities.

Joining Alviera Hero Camp is not just for fun and make-believe heroes. The participants
are actual heroes in deed being that this activity is a major supporter of HERO Foundation, which provides
educational assistance to children and dependent siblings of Filipino soldiers
killed in action or permanently incapacitated for performing their line of
duty. A portion of sales to the event
will go to the scholarship fund of HERO Foundation. Some of these young
scholars will be brought to at the campsite to enjoy along with the Alviera Hero Camp participants.
