Chan Wai Ho Desmond:

I think the o-camp is acceptable,
except the accident that we
cannot go to play the canoe. But
the later arrangement is
satisfactory. I think that most of
the executive members of
Greenwoods truly cares about the
environmental protection in Hong
Kong very much. Some of them
inspire me as well.

Frank Chow:
I think this orientation day is very
unique as there are not many
chances to join canoeing in other
societies. It also allows me to see
the mangrove. I liked the
orientation day!

Chu Pak Fai Dereck:

Although there was a typhoon
which affected the arrangement
of the o-camp, I think the
preparation work was brilliant
while the activities were
meaningful and interesting.

Yuan Shuai Sw Jacky:

The o-camp held by Greenwoods
was the first one I participate in
HKU. Everyone is very nice and I
really enjoy it!
