Campers are required to be back to campus by 8:45 every morning to ensure sufficient time for registration and timely transportation.
Safety:
All lead APA staff are First Aid qualified and carry radios, mobile phones and first aid kits at all times. • APA follows a safety management system developed from decades of in-house senior team experience and influenced by several leading national governing bodies including: British Canoe Union, New Zealand Outdoor Instructors Award, Association of Canadian Mountain Guides, UK's Mountain Leader Training Board, and USA's Rescue 3 International amongst others. APA has developed professional skills training programs for everything from mountain biking to rock rescue as well as delivering Risk Management courses for international school faculty.

Students will be required to bring a bottle of water, packed lunch, and a healthy snack on each day of the program. Filtered drinking water will be readily available throughout the program.
“This was the first summer camp experience in Hong Kong for my kids (6 & 8 years old). They had a good time, especially the younger one in multi-activity, where the class included a good mix of learning, fun, and sports activities. I felt confident that they were in a safe and friendly environment, and it was an added bonus I got updates with pictures everyday.”
