Learning for fun: summer activities at the Federation
Quality time for young people on holiday - that is the aim of the Summer Programme. There are 2,700 different activities which encompass leadership training, sports and health, volunteer work, creativity and digital technology. We have added 200 new courses since last year with the emphasis on positive and constructive activities for educational and leisure purposes.

 

 

For lucky parents who can have quality time with their children in the summer we have tailor made items which we hope will help build up the special parent-child relationship. These include cooking, bird-watching and sailing; hip-hop, digital photography and art therapy. Whatever is the flavour of the month at home or at school, we aim to provide supportive back-up, from the time school breaks up till term starts again.

"The Home Affairs Bureau has lent its support to summer youth programmes like this since 1969. They give Hong Kong's youth a chance to make best use of their free time during the summer vacation so as to cultivate knowledgeable and creative young people with good interpersonal skills who grow up to be responsible, civic-minded members of the community."

Ms Shelley Lee, JP, Permanent Secretary for Home Affairs
