How it works
How the first six months with BTFL look.
From application, through Basecamp, into a personalised Route across the six-month expedition. Here is what to expect — step by step, month by month.
How it works
From application, through Basecamp, into a personalised Route across the six-month expedition. Here is what to expect — step by step, month by month.
The journey
Five steps. Each one has a clear thing you do, a clear thing that happens, and a clear thing you see.
Pay for Basecamp, complete your child's profile, and choose a Basecamp date that works for the family.
What you do
Pay for Basecamp (S$320). Complete your child's profile online. Pick a Basecamp date.
What happens
A welcome email confirms your Basecamp date, what to bring, and what the two days will cover.
What you see
Confirmation, your child's profile in the dashboard, and the Basecamp date on your calendar.
Two days outdoors with our team. Your child works with us directly. The Passport is issued.
What you do
Drop off, pick up, and let your child step into something real.
What happens
Your child works with our team across two days of structured play, with trained observation throughout.
What you see
The opening pages of your child's Passport — what we noticed, where the strongest signals are, and the Route we'd recommend for the months ahead.
Each month, credits land in your account. Use them on Adventures across the curated catalogue — mix freely between Connect, Create, and Contribute.
What you do
Browse upcoming Adventures, filter by pillar or schedule, and book with credits.
What happens
Your child attends real-world Adventures with vetted providers across Singapore.
What you see
A clear booking history, upcoming dates, and credit balance — never a surprise charge.
After every Adventure, a short founder note lands in the Passport — not a generic summary. Real moments, in plain language.
What you do
Open the note. Optionally have a five-minute debrief with your child.
What happens
Our team captures specific moments of engagement, where your child stretched, what to watch for next.
What you see
A short, specific entry in the Passport, mapped to the sub-pillars touched in the Adventure. A Stamp earned.
At month six, we meet you face-to-face. We refresh the Passport, walk you through what's changed, and set the Route for the next phase.
What you do
Bring your child. Bring the Passport. Bring questions.
What happens
A structured conversation with our team comparing month six to Basecamp — what's shifted, what's still emerging, what comes next.
What you see
A refreshed Passport, a new Route, and the year-two Pioneer rate offered. See how the framework is designed →
Picture it
Three small moments that make the first weeks feel real, not abstract.
Membership
Step 1 · Begin
Basecamp — two days with our team. Your child's Passport opens. Every BTFL expedition begins here.
Step 2 · Continue
100 credits per month — spend them however you like across all BTFL Adventures. Cancel anytime.
Our promise
We have worked tirelessly to make BTFL the kind of program we would want for our own children. Your child deserves the best. If we do not deliver after Basecamp, we guarantee a full refund.
Standard membership families are covered for 30 days after Basecamp Day 1.BTFL is currently in its founding cohort phase. The first twelve children join at a discounted bundled rate. See the Pilot page →
In practice
The practical details, written plainly so there are no surprises.
100 new credits arrive on your membership anniversary date. Unused credits from the previous month carry over for thirty days, then expire.
Families book directly through the BTFL dashboard. Filter by pillar, schedule, or Route recommendation. Adventures confirm instantly — no waiting list.
Every Adventure has a published maximum number of children, based on the format and the adult-to-child ratio set for that Adventure type. We do not exceed it under any circumstance.
Your credits return to your balance immediately, and we offer the next equivalent Adventure at priority booking.
Let us know as soon as you can. We’ll work with you to rebook within the same membership cycle wherever possible.
Flexibility
No fixed pillar track. No one-size-fits-all schedule. The six-month Route has structure, but it still has to fit real family life.
A busy month does not erase the work. Unused credits stay valid into the next cycle, so the Route can flex around real family rhythms.
Your child is never locked to one pillar. Move between Connect, Create, and Contribute as their interest evolves — the framework holds the through-line, not the catalogue.
Family life still happens. The monthly membership can be paused or cancelled anytime — no annual contract, no exit fee. Your Passport stays with you; the Route waits.
For standard membership families, if the first two days of your child's expedition aren't right, you receive a full refund within 30 days of Basecamp Day 1. We'd rather you walk away cleanly than continue with a program that isn't fitting.
What we ask of you
A great expedition needs a parent who is in on the project. The work we ask of you is light, but it matters:
Still have questions?
BTFL is built for children aged 8 to 14. Basecamp currently runs for ages 8 to 12 — the 13–14 segment is part of the broader BTFL roadmap and will open as that age band's Basecamp format is ready.
We are based in Singapore across two to three location clusters, chosen so most families can reach an Adventure within a reasonable drive. Specific addresses are confirmed at booking; outdoor Adventures name the meeting point clearly in advance.
Our team captures it in the field notes, and we factor it into your child's Route. Children are allowed to dislike things — that information is valuable. If an Adventure is consistently the wrong fit, we'll suggest a different format or pillar to try next.
The default language for BTFL Adventures is English. Some Adventures involve providers who run in additional languages, which we note clearly in the catalogue.
Each child has their own Passport, their own Adventures, and their own Route — because their growth is theirs. Membership is per-child. The second child's monthly is 10% off, after each child completes Basecamp at full price (S$320 each).
For standard membership families, the first 30 days after Basecamp Day 1 are covered by the full-refund promise. After that, the monthly membership is pause-or-cancel anytime — no exit fee, no annual contract. Pilot families follow the founding terms on the Pilot page.
Yes. Memberships can be gifted — get in touch and we'll set it up directly with the recipient, including the Basecamp date.
Ready to start?
BTFL opens to its first twelve children — by application — at a founding rate. Once the founding cohort completes its first Waypoint, BTFL opens to all families at the standard membership described above. If you'd like to be part of the founding twelve, see the Pilot page; if you'd rather wait for the standard opening, the waitlist there will keep you informed.
