Tai Long Sai Wan Programme (W-F) - School work in nature and fun in the outdoors

With schools closed, kids are getting very bored of being stuck at home. In small private groups (max 10), we offer a rural, outdoors alternative. Mornings are for school assignments and study (with supervision) then a mix of fun and interesting land and (if not too cold) water-based activities. Plus campfires, cooking, night hikes star gazing etc. A chance for kids to connect, learn and have fun together in an unspoilt and remote rural landscape. Away from home; far from the crowds (mid-week at Sai wan is quiet). Kids learn about Leave No Trace (www.lnt.org) and earn a Leave No Trace certificate.

WHAT WILL WE DO?
Activities may include: camping, meal prep, karate/yoga on the beach, canyon hike, village exploration, night hike, campcraft, and for warmer weather, watersports like kayaking, snorkeling and SUP!
