The three-day "Camp for Adventure and Sports 2004", to be held at Lady MacLehose Holiday Village at the end of December, is now inviting applications. The deadline is November 8.

Offering a series of outdoor camping and sport activities, the camp will not only provide a good setting for participants to widen their interest in sport, but also encourage them to form a habit of doing exercise regularly.

The Leisure and Cultural Services Department said the theme of this year's camping activities would be getting close to nature while enjoying the fun of outdoor activities. The camp is aimed at people aged from six to 59.

In the camp, participants can try activities like sports climbing, adventure games, general gymnastics, archery, shuttlecock, table-tennis, soft volleyball, a dancing night and tele-match games.

Participants can also appreciate the benefit of team spirit by taking part in these activities.
