WHAT ARE OUR STUDENTS SAYING?

London is a business capital of the world so it was great to see some of the best companies and talk to businessmen here and learn how they got here.

WHAT ARE OUR STUDENTS SAYING?

I learned a lot during this course, my school never taught us practical business skills. I think a lot of what I learned here I will be able to use one day in my own country.

WHAT ARE OUR STUDENTS SAYING?

This course was a lot of fun for me. It is my first time away from my parents and I loved the independence and feel of London. Someday I’m going to have my own business here.

RAMESH | STUDENT, INDIA

WHAT ARE OUR STUDENTS SAYING?

During these two weeks I learned how to negotiate, do presentations, and build my network. I got to practice my networking at some real companies. Maybe someday these connections will help my career in the future. I feel much more confident speaking and presenting ideas than I did before the camp thanks to my teachers always supporting us and making it fun.

WHAT ARE OUR STUDENTS SAYING?

Hong Kong and England have always had a special connection so it was a great opportunity for me to actually visit London. I loved the old buildings and mix of people everywhere. I think knowing more about business in the UK is definitely going to help me in Hong Kong in the future.

    Students should pack clothes appropriate for the weather in the destination city during the holiday camps. Note that London could be chilly all year round, so always bring something warm, just in case. Students should also pack at least one set of formal wear/shoes for the Finale Night. Students are recommended to bring a hoodie or light jacket as classrooms are often air-conditioned and sometimes students may feel cold. Students are also recommended to bring comfortable walking shoes as students will do a lot of walking in destination cities. In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint we also ask students to bring refillable water bottles that they can carry with them on excursions. Our destination countries may have differently shaped power outlets and voltages than your home country. Students should bring a power adapter along with whatever other chargers or electronic devices they may need. We also recommend students to pack props which they may want to use in their Talent Show.

    Boys and girls will be placed in separate rooms. They could be on different floors or on the same floor. Typically escorting teachers/adults may stay on the same floor as students for easy group control, and on-site staff regularly check to make sure students are safe and in their rooms.

    Depending on the allocation of hostels and classrooms, classes and hostels may be at the same university or school, or otherwise.

    Our Camp Facilitators are trained to run fun-filled team-building activities. Debriefing after the activities will help students to understand main leadership & team-building learning points.

    It's not unusual for children, especially younger ones away from home for the first time, to feel homesick the first few days. Most get over it quickly and go on to have a wonderful time. We provide structure and keep campers busy from the moment they arrive, which helps to shift their focus away from home to new friends and having fun. By the end of the first week, the routine is familiar and the homesickness has passed for the majority of campers.

    Yes, they are allowed to call parents during the evening before bed and if there is an emergency. We encourage both parents and students to not be in constant contact throughout the day as it is distracting from their lessons and activities.

    In all our years of running programmes, we have never suffered a major incident. In the course of outdoor activities, our staff are trained in first aid and will always try to prevent accidents like knee scrapes and falls.

    BlueSky is insured by public liability insurance but for individual students they should purchase their own travel and medical insurance. A detailed policy schedule is available at https://www.bluesky-education.com/policy.html.

    At every camp we will have at least one trained first aider who will be present on site and during all activities and excursions. In the dormitories, our staff conduct regular checks throughout the day and night, with a roll count in the morning and before lights out.
