Year 4 Camp

Dear Parents, 

 

We write to you with exciting news: the children in Year 4 will be participating in a two-night camp in February 2026. 

 

Accommodation

The camp will take place from Tuesday 24th February to Thursday 26th February 2026 at Breakthrough Village Camp, Sha Tin. 

The children will sleep in residential dormitories of up to six children per room. We will ask the children to request their chosen friends closer to the time of the camp. Although we cannot guarantee that they will be with all of their friends, we can guarantee that they will be with at least one. 

 

Activities

Over the three days, each child will have the opportunity to take part in the following activities:

• Hiking Through History: The children will be taken on a historical hike through tunnels used by soldiers during the war. 

• Coastal Kayaking: The children will kayak out to the waters of Tai Mei Tuk to examine the biodiversity of its mangroves.

• Farm to Table: The children will visit the Fu Kum Organic Farm, not only to participate in sustainable farming methods but also to prepare simple dishes using the farm’s produce.

There will also be numerous activities and games planned for them back at base camp, as well as opportunities to relax and rest.

Camps have always been an integral part of our experiential curriculum at DBIS, as they provide children with an opportunity to gain independence, create deeper bonds with friends, build self-esteem and confidence, and have a great deal of fun. We are very much looking forward to taking your child on this wonderful trip!
