Outward Bound Hong Kong is a leading outdoor experiential education provider in Asia. Registered as a charity and operating since 1970, we can operate within marine and country parks in Hong Kong
The Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS), a research facility of The University of Hong Kong, is located on the Cape d’Aguilar peninsula, adjacent to Hong Kong’s only Marine Reserve. SWIMS offers a leading research environment for marine scientists and postgraduate students, featuring residential facilities with views overlooking the academic area.
Climate change presents a significant challenge for current and future generations. To address this critical issue, we invite secondary students to participate in an immersive program combining Marine Science and Outdoor Education.
This course provides students with essential 21st-century skills, including resilience, confidence, social competence, and compassion, while fostering a deep understanding of environmental stewardship.
Through hands-on exploration of marine environments and direct engagement with conservation practices, students will: Gain practical insights into marine biodiversity and ecosystems Develop a strong sense of environmental responsibility Contribute meaningfully to the preservation of our natural resources
