JPC Summer Camp 2026 Opens, Strengthening Members' Teamwork and Leadership Skills

Opening ceremony of JPC Summer Camp 2026 held today

The Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Cheuk Wing-hing; the Secretary for Security cum Junior Police Call (JPC) Honorary Chief President, Mr Tang Ping-keung; the Commissioner of Police cum JPC Honorary Deputy Chief President, Mr Chow Yat-ming; and the Assistant Commissioner of Police (Public Relations) cum Chairperson of the JPC Central Advisory Board, Mr Chan Sze-tat, today (August 18) officiated at the opening ceremony of the JPC Summer Camp 2026 at the JPC Permanent Activity Centre in Pat Heung.

Addressing the ceremony, Mr Tang said that the JPC has nurtured generations of young leaders for Hong Kong over the past 50-odd years, instilling in them a sense of social responsibility and proper values. He expressed gratitude to schools, parents, the JPC Central Advisory Board, honorary presidents from various districts and all partners for their support for the JPC.

Mr Tang encouraged participants to master three key roles as JPC members through the summer camp activities, namely, "anti-scam experts" – to acquire anti-scam knowledge and heighten their awareness of technology crimes through card games; "anti-drug ambassadors" – to say "no" to drugs and safeguard themselves and people around them; and "national security pioneers" – to deepen their understanding of national security and promote the message that safeguarding national security is everyone's responsibility.

He said that this year marks the beginning of the National 15th Five-Year Plan and that the country's development creates boundless opportunities for young people. Citing the example of Dr Lai Ka-ying, Hong Kong's first payload expert participating in the Shenzhou-23 manned spaceflight mission, Mr Tang encouraged JPC members to seize opportunities, pursue their dreams with courage, and contribute to the country and Hong Kong in different capacities in the future.

The annual JPC Summer Camp lasts four days and three nights. More than 200 members are taking part this year. Under the theme "Exploring a New Chapter", the camp features diversified activities and training, including competitions incorporated with policing knowledge and investigative elements, as well as adventure-based exercises, with an aim of supporting young participants to achieve breakthroughs and grow, drawing their attention to anti-drug and anti-crime messages, and providing them with positive education to strengthen their teamwork and leadership skills.
