Summer will soon be with us and plans have been formulated once

again to help young people make the best use of their leisure time while on

vacation.

As in the past six years, the Social Welfare Department, together

with the British Forces, has lined up a camping trip to help develop, the

character, self-reliance and leadership qualities of selected participants

in order that they may be better equipped to serve the community.

This year, two residential camps providing good opportunities for

youngsters to learn a variety of leadership skills will be organised.

The camps, lasting three weeks each, will be held at the Royal Air

Force, Kai Tak, from June 27 to July 17 and from July 25 to August 14. They

are for youngsters, both boys and girls, aged between 18 and 25. There will

be 120 participants for each camp. Applications are now being accepted from

those interested in joinging the course.

Application forms are available at the Social Welfare Department's Youth Work Unit, Central Post Offices Building, Top Floor, 405 Nathan Road,

You Ma Tei, Kowloon (Tel. 3-884111 Ext. 334). The closing date for

applications is May 7.

Participants will be chosen by an interview panel comprising

representatives from the Social Welfare Department, the British Forces and

voluntary organisations, Selections will be made on the basis of command of

English, experience in youth work, knowledge of local affairs and physique.
