Instead, we have been in communication with our camp provider APA to explore opportunities for local outings once the situation allows. Please be assured that outings will only take place after we receive further health and safety guidelines/guidance from ESF/HKSAR government and when there is minimal risk in relation to Covid. Regarding the paid deposits for these camps, we are still awaiting a confirmation from APA and further updates will be shared with parents as soon as we can.
