Choose Your Camp Experience
OWN Inspiration Camp Summer 2026 runs across two back-to-back weeks, giving families the flexibility to choose the experience that best fits their schedule and goals.
Each week follows the same six-day framework, but features different activities, industry experiences,
and challenges throughout the program.
This means students can join for one week or both weeks without repeating the same experience. Each week is complete on its own, while attending both creates a more expansive experience for students ready to go further.
WEEK 1: 6-Day Camp
Monday to Saturday
Designed as a complete, stand-alone experience, Week 1 introduces students to real-world learning through industry masterclasses, team challenges, and outdoor adventure.
WEEK 2: 6-Day Camp
Monday to Saturday
Week 2 offers a fresh set of experiences, with different activities, industry focuses, and challenges across the week. It’s ideal for both new students and those returning for a deeper, extended experience.
Students take part in an experience built to bring real careers to life—combining practical challenges, team-based missions, and deliberate skill-building.
This summer in Hong Kong, students don’t just learn about industries—they experience them firsthand through one or two immersive weeks. Led by industry experts, each masterclass blends practical activities, real-world problem-solving, and facilitated discussion.
This approach helps students move beyond theory, offering an authentic look at how industries function in practice and how knowledge is applied outside the classroom.

We maintain a close student-to-staff ratio to ensure every student receives personal attention, guidance, and support throughout the program.

Outside of these moments, all devices are kept away to ensure they are fully engaged, present, and distraction-free.

Yes. Students may enroll in either Week 1 or Week 2 as a complete, stand-alone experience.

Both weeks offer the same depth and structure, but feature different industry experiences, team challenges, and learning focuses. This allows returning students to continue growing through new perspectives and experiences.

Yes. The camp is designed for all personality types, whether outgoing, reserved, or anywhere in between.

Many students finish the camp feeling more confident and comfortable expressing themselves, not because they are introverted, but because the environment encourages growth for every child.
Do students need to be fluent in English?
Ideally, yes, but fluency is not strictly required. As long as students are proficient in English and comfortable communicating ideas, expressing themselves, and participating in group discussions, they’ll thrive at camp.
All activities are conducted in English, so confidence in listening, speaking, and collaboration will help them get the most out of the experience.
Is this camp useful if my child has already joined OIC before?

For students who join both weeks, the experience goes even deeper. Each week features different industry focuses and activities, ensuring meaningful variety and progression rather than repetition.
