Want your kids to have some fun this summer? Look no further – OWN Academy’s Inspiration Summer Camp, offered for children aged nine to 13, gives students an opportunity to play and learn in the best way.
As the name reads, OWN Inspiration Camp is about inspiring students in their OWN way with new ideas, activities and relationships they wouldn't otherwise find in schools, home or regular summer camp.
Activities include designing your own race car, storytelling through filmmaking, and upcycling used products into useful objects. There will also be water sports perfect for the hot summer, including kayaking, paddle boarding and snorkeling in Sai Kung.
Sounds fun? We think so too – but it will also be an incredible learning experience, allowing kids to discover hidden talents and learn new skills that have lifelong importance.
Taking inspiration from the Finnish approach, children are encouraged to learn about learning and engage in independent thinking. The summer camp focuses on three main themes: Design Thinking, Connected Learning and Social and Environmental Citizenship.
Learning about design is crucial for nurturing innovative thinking and even entrepreneurship, both of which will be explored during the programme through a range of fun activities. Social and Environmental Citizenship shows children how we are connected to other people and the environment, teaching them to understand the consequences behind their own actions and learn how to take responsibility.
