Itinerary (Explorer’s Water Works Camp)
Team Initiative, Pier Jump & GSUP – Tai Tam Waterfront
To kick off our first overnight camp of the year with a bang, we’ll be heading to Tai Tam to do team initiative activities to introduce yourselves and get to know your fellow campers for the week! We’ll then head out to the water on our Giant Stand Up Paddle Boards to learn how to paddle as a team and compete in fun games. We’ll finish the day with your favorite, pier jumping! Following our water activities, we will return to the dorms, eat dinner, and then conclude our night activities.
Mangrove Eco & Stream Exploration – Tai Tam Waterfront
On this day, you’ll immerse yourself deeper into Hong Kong’s splendor by embarking on a stream excursion in Tai Tam. Along the journey, we’ll learn about Hong Kong’s ecology, especially mangroves in their native habitat, and their importance in our tropical ecosystems.
Snorkeling & Geology Exploration – Sharp Island
Explorers, it’s time to learn what creatures inhabit the ocean floor! Did you know that Hong Kong has more varieties of coral than the Caribbean Sea? Off the stunning coastline of Sharp Island, you’ll be snorkeling. We’ll learn about what we observed in the water and complete our review exercises before enjoying a lovely picnic on the beach for lunch. A geology exploration will be part of this awesome day as well, during which you will discover the significance of the various types of rocks and their importance.
Kayak & Raft Building – Tai Mei Tuk
You’ll spend the day engaging in a variety of enjoyable activities at Tai Mei Tuk beach. One of them is kayaking, where you’ll share a boat with a partner. The main principles of paddling, paddling with a partner, and handling rescue situations will all be covered. The day will be concluded with a raft-building competition. Your team will compete to build a viable raft out of the resources provided. To finish the challenge successfully, strong collaboration, cohesion, along with the paddling skills covered will be essential.
