OVERNIGHT CAMPS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
The Youth Work Unit of the Social Welfare Department has arranged
a series of five overnight camping trips for young people from now until August.
The trips which will last two to three days each will be to various
locations in the New Territories and outlying islands.
Mr. Antonio Chu, officer-in-charge of the Youth Work Unit, says the
aim is to encourage young people to organise such activities for themselves
and to develop their basic understanding of the outdoors.
The camps are expected to cater for about 40 young people each. They
will be run by the unit's self-programming group, "The Eternity" which is made up
of volunteers and former members who have participated in previous camps.
The camps are intended for young people from 17 to 25 and anyone
interested in joining can obtain the application forms and details from the
office of the Youth Work Unit in Room 908, Causeway Bay Magistracy Building,
Hong Kong (telephone 5-712467), or the Kowloon office on the top floor of
Nathan Road Government Offices (telephone 3-884111 ext. 334).
