Community Courses

Summit of Lantau Peak Height 934M OBHK uses funds from our fundraising events and grants to sponsor courses designed for our partner community organisations, e.g., disabled, substance abuse recovery, youth-at-risk etc., to encourage and empower participants who would not otherwise be able to attend OBHK courses. PARTNERSHIP WITH DELIA MEMORIAL SCHOOL (HIP WO) 2021 was exciting because we welcomed youth from diverse backgrounds to participate in Peacebuilding Leadership Outward Bound 8 Day journeys, funded by the Swire Group Charitable Trust as part of their TrustTomorrow initiative marking 150 years of their commitment to Hong Kong. Unlike the majority of OBHK courses, beneficiaries were tested in the beautiful environment of Lantau Island, rather than our usual location of Sai Kung, The intensive adventure provided a chance to equip themselves with skills that will help them meet future challenges with confidence, and to return to daily life with an appreciation of different viewpoints and a willingness to contribute to building more effective communities.

I want to know more about myself. Just like I didn’t know that I could hike for 40km or take this challenge in the outward bound. But then I try it then I got to know it. I still can’t believe that I’ve hiked in the tallest mountain in Hong Kong.

Helming the ship PARTNERSHIP WITH HKICC LEE SHAU KEE SCHOOL OF CREATIVITY

It’s Not Just About Sailing, It’s About Making Lifetime Impact

Spirit departed on its first journey after its refit with HKICC Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust during Christmas 2021. The 18-Day programme is not just about sailing; it’s a tailor-made journey for participants to learn to be resilient, compassionate, corporative through challenges in nature.

The night sail from Lantau to Double Haven Island is undoubtedly an epic achievement. We showed a brilliant team work to overcome the obstacles, the lowest annual temperature, extreme weather, total blindness on the sea. The OBHK crew’s profession and compassion pacify our mind and enlighten everyone to open themselves to the adventure.

Outward Bound Hong Kong has been our valuable partner over the years, providing courses that are unique and relevant to students: whether it is an adventure-based programme or one that focuses on collaboration among participants, students returned often demonstrate marked personal growth and attitude change that are results of inspiring if not life-changing experiences, not to mention the unforgettable memories and the friendship that are timeless.

Not only have participants become more resilient in life, but they have grown up to be young adults and have taken up the baton to serve others in need. I can tell that these transformation processes cannot happen just inside a classroom. Students have become a better individual, and in turn helped to make the world a better place.
