In all Camp APA programs, safety is our FIRST and foremost priority!

CAMP APA and APA School Programs offer unique experiences tailored to different objectives:

• Program Design: CAMP APA programs are fully crafted by our dedicated camp team, while school programs are co-designed with educators to meet specific learning goals.
• Activities and Duration: CAMP APA provides fresh, exciting activities alongside tried-and-tested favorites.
• Personal Growth: Smaller groups and intentional design create an ideal environment for personal development and skill-building.
• New Friendships: Our participants come from various schools and even countries, making it a fantastic opportunity to build new connections.

CAMP APA和校內APA活動各自提供獨特體驗，並針對不同目標精心設計：

• 活動設計：CAMP APA 的活動由專業戶外導師團隊精心打造，而校內活動則著重與教育工作者合作設計，以達成特定的學習目標。
• 活動內容：CAMP APA 提供新穎刺激的活動，並結合經典熱門項目，讓參加者享受多樣化的體驗。
• 個人成長：CAMP APA 相對規模較小，而且活動由團隊悉心設計，創造了理想的活動環境予參加者學習技能，亦有助促進個人發展。
• 建立新友誼：我們的參加者均來自不同學校及國家，參與CAMP APA 活動是擴闊社交圈子的絕佳機會。

All programs are conducted in English. Students should have a basic understanding of English to follow safety briefings and participate fully in activities. CAMP APA is also a great environment to practice English while making new friends!

所有活動均以英語進行。學生應具備基本的英語理解能力，以便跟隨導師的安全指示以投入活動當中。參加者可以在CAMP APA活動中結交新朋友之餘，也可以練習英語！

Not at all! CAMP APA follows a 3-Year Progression Plan designed for ongoing growth:

• If you’re an Explorer at age 7, your experience as an 8-year-old will be different, with new themes, activities, and learning outcomes
• This progression ensures every camp delivers fresh experiences and opportunities for personal growth and skill development.

Our program categories follow age-based progression:

• Discoverers (5-6)
• Explorers (7-9)
• Adventurers (10-12)
• Navigators (13-15)

Whenever you join CAMP APA, you’ll always encounter something new!

絕對不是！CAMP APA 採用3年階梯計劃，確保參加者持續成長：

• 如果你在 7 歲時參與過Explorer組別，並在下一年再回到CAMP APA，我們會為你帶來全新主題、活動體驗及學習成果。
• 階梯計劃可確保每次活動都能為參加者提供新鮮體驗，有助促進個人成長及技能發展。

我們的活動亦會以年齡劃分及進階：

• Discoverers（5-6 歲）
• Explorers（7-9 歲）
• Adventurers（10-12 歲）
• Navigators（13-15 歲）

無論你於任何時候參加 CAMP APA，你總會遇到新事物！

Our 3-Year Progression Plan is designed to foster continuous growth, development, and engagement for campers across multiple years.

Here’s how it works:

• Age-Appropriate Experiences: Each age group (Discoverers: 5-6 Explorers: 7-9, Adventurers: 10-12, Navigators: 13-15) follows a carefully crafted journey tailored to their developmental stage.
• New Challenges Every Year: Whether it’s themes, activities, or learning outcomes, every year builds on previous experiences to keep things fresh and exciting.
• Skill and Personal Growth: Campers develop technical outdoor skills, problem-solving abilities, leadership, and teamwork over time.

This structured progression ensures returning campers always gain new experiences, challenges, and memories while continuing their personal development journey with CAMP APA.

我們的3年階梯計劃旨在讓參加者在不同年齡階段都能有所成長。

計劃重點：

• 針對年齡：我們為每個年齡組別（Discoverers：5-6 歲，Explorers：7-9 歲，Adventurers：10-12 歲，Navigators：13-15 歲）度身打造旅程，符合他們的發展階段。
• 確保全新挑戰：無論是主題、活動體驗還是學習成果，我們都會以前一年作為基礎設計活動，並會確保活動新鮮感。
• 注重技能與個人成長：參加者可在不同階段學習相應的戶外技能、解難能力、領導力和團隊合作。

此階梯計劃確保任何參加者都能獲得全新體驗、挑戰和回憶，同時持續他們在 CAMP APA 的個人成長之旅。

The remaining spots on each camp are visible on the online enrolment form when you select the program that you would like to enrol in. 

If the camp is full, you will no longer be able to select the program. However, please feel free to complete our Waitlist Form, which can be found on the online enrolment form underneath the Program Selection boxes. You will be asked to select the camp(s) you are interested in and leave your contact details so that we can contact you if any spots become available on our camp(s).

Yes, if all the spots on the camp you are interested in are full, please feel free to sign up on our Waitlist Form which can be found on the online enrolment form underneath the Program Selection boxes. You will be asked to select the camp(s) you are interested in and leave your contact details so that we can contact you if any spots become available on our camp(s).

We require participants to be within the age range by the time the camp starts. We are only able to make exceptions if your child is 1-2 months younger or older from the camp start date. As our programs are specifically designed for the particular age group, we find that if there are large age gaps in camp it can affect the overall experience of all other participants.

However, if the participant is signing up with an older sibling/friend for the same program, the age gap can adjust to 6 months, if the older student is confident to take care of the younger one, and the participant him/herself is feel comfortable to be around with older students.

Please email us at camp@apa.co if you need to make an amendment to the date of the camp you have enrolled for. Kindly note the following terms and conditions:

• Spot available on the program they requesting to enrol
• Minimum of 2 weeks before the commencement date of the program they requesting to enroll
• Staffing is not affected for the program they requesting to enrol (ex: If the program has 12 participants enrolled and this pax will make it 13, the staffing number changes for technical activities if any)
• Valid reason for change of date

Participants will only need to bring personal items such as a hat, water bottle, lunch and snacks. APA will provide all necessary safety equipment for the activities. After you have enrolled in a program you will receive an information pack with a detailed Kit List that includes everything participants will need to bring as well as other important details.

Within each team, participants will be organised into pods of 3 – 4 participants each. Grouping requests are made when signing up on our online enrolment form under the Friend/Sibling Grouping Request section. If you have multiple friends/siblings that you are signing up with, please list the person you would like to be with most at the top of the list. While we will do our best to group you with your stated requests, please understand that sometimes this is not always possible, particularly if there are large groups of friends attending the same camp together.

No. We require all participants to wear personal floatation device(PFD) for all water activities where the water depth is above the knee. For every water activity there will be one Camp APA staff member for every 6 participants to monitor safety. We also operate on a challenge by choice principle. This means that no staff member will force a student to participate in an activity that they are not comfortable doing.

As we have limited spots available on our camps, our registration works on a first come first served basis. As such, we are not able to reserve spots for participants who have not yet signed up.

Any photos that are taken during the program will be shared with you via Google Drive after the program has been completed. A link will be sent to you following the program which you can use to access these photos.

Please be reminded that our APA Staff Team’s first priority is to give each participant a fun, safe and fulfilling experience. They will do their best to take photos when it is appropriate but this also means that at times our photo taking capacity may be limited. That being said we do try to take as many as we can and share them with you.

Participants are allowed to bring cameras on our programs, although we generally recommend bringing waterproof and disposable cameras and avoiding expensive cameras that risk getting damaged or lost.

For mobile phones, we prefer that participants do not carry mobile phones on the program. In the event of an emergency, APA staff mobile phones can be used to contact participants’ emergency contact persons. Nonetheless, we understand that some participants may find it helpful to carry a mobile phone while traveling before and after the program. If participants choose to bring a mobile phone, they will only be permitted to use them during designated times.

APA strongly discourages any electronic devices, as it detracts from the experience and objectives of the program and can impact on safety during activities. Camp APA will not be responsible for the breakage, damage or loss of the student’s personal belongings.

Don’t worry! During our water activities we will provide and require participants to wear our personal flotation device (PFDs/Lifejackets). Safety is our number one priority.

Our safety ratios are based on the technicality and risk of each activity that we run on programs. Participants will be grouped into teams of up to 12 participants per team with 1 staff facilitator leading each team. For general land based and non-technical activities we operate on a ratio of 1 staff to 12 participants. For activities involving some technical elements such as hiking or gorge walking the ratio is 1 staff to 9 participants, where we will have additional staff supervising safety on activities. For technical activities involving water sports or high elements, the ratio will be 1 staff to 6 participants.

Members of APA’s management staff and delivery team have a broad range of qualifications from internationally recognized governing bodies such as the British Canoeing and Mountain Leader Training Board (MLTB), the New Zealand Outdoor Instructor Association (NZOIA) and US-based Wilderness Medical Associates (WMA). As well as this all new staff to APA must go through an induction program to ensure that their skills and knowledge are at a high standard.

Yes, every staff member is required to be at least first aid certified. Most staff will be Wilderness First Responder Certified.

As all Camp APA programs require advanced booking for items such as transport and staffing, there is a set cancellation policy in place that is based on proximity to the program dates. At the time of enrolment the participant must pay 100% of the program fee. Any changes or cancellations that need to be made to your enrolment will fall under our cancellation policy as stated below:

Please note that if a participant leaves during a program or does not attend one or more of the days, for any reason, no refund or partial refunds will be made for any remaining portion of the program.

If weather conditions are deemed unsuitable by APA during the program, APA reserves the right to modify program duration, activities and/or locations for the safety of both participants and staff. In the event of inclement weather based on the Hong Kong Observatory’s announcements, the following arrangements will be made:

If a Black Rainstorm Warning or a Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No. 3 or above is hoisted at 6:30 am, the program will be cancelled for the day. The remaining program days will commence as normal, weather permitting. If the Black Rainstorm Warning or Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No. 3 or above is cancelled before 6:30 am, the program will commence as normal. APA will notify participants of cancellations as soon as possible.

If a program day is cancelled due to inclement weather, there will be no refund of program fees but APA will arrange a rescheduled day for participants on the following Saturday. If there is more than one day postponed we will inform the participants of the additional make up day dates.
