SUP Adventure Camp
Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP) originated in the 1960s on the Waikiki beaches of Hawaii. A group of surf instructors combined surfboards with traditional hand paddles, which later evolved into the sport of stand-up paddleboarding. In recent years, SUP has become very popular in Hong Kong, and it can be seen on many beaches.
SUP emphasizes balance and is a water activity that requires using a paddle to move forward while standing on the board. The sport combines techniques from windsurfing, surfing, and kayaking, with paddling methods mainly including prone, kneeling, and standing.
In the Stand-Up Paddleboarding Adventure Summer Camp, Blue Sky professional instructors will lead students in using SUP to ride waves and explore the waters of Sai Kung. They will learn various SUP techniques, engage with marine ecology and unique geological sites, and through ocean clean-up activities, cultivate children’s awareness of marine conservation and promote personal development.
On the last day of the summer camp, there will be a small competition to allow children to test their SUP training results and compete against each other.
During the SUP Exploration Summer Camp, students will witness the natural scenery of the Sai Kung waters up close, including the UNESCO Hong Kong Global Geopark.

Dragon Boat Camp
Dragon boat racing, a traditional sport, has a history of over two thousand years in southern China. Some folklore suggests that dragon boat racing commemorates the patriotic poet Qu Yuan from the Warring States period. However, different regions and ethnic groups also have versions of the tradition that commemorate different figures and are held at times other than the Dragon Boat Festival.
Dragon boat racing is a team sport. No matter how fast an individual rows, they need to coordinate the rhythm and strength with their teammates to achieve the best speed. Therefore, many private and public organizations now form teams to participate in competitions to enhance team cooperation.
Dragon boat racing can improve your communication skills because, in this sport, participants encourage each other, give tips, and correct each other’s technical errors. Moreover, the atmosphere within the team is very friendly and egalitarian, with no hierarchy.
5-day Dragon Boat Summer Camp Sample Itinerary:
