ME, WE, & US
At The Shed, we use thoughtful conversation and purposeful hands-on activities to curate "spaces" where young people can develop a mindset that values the balance of the needs of Self (ME), Others (WE) and, of The Planet (US).
We value a Benefit Mindset. We do this by taking part in experiences that provide opportunities for discussion & reflection combined with action & application. We participate in 5 different categories of activities: Outdoor Health, Farming & Growing/Cooking, Community & Social Action, Building/Crafting & Creating, and Creative Movement. Our activities take place at various outdoor locations around HK as well as at our indoor space, which we call Home Base, located in Sai Ying Pun.
Testimonials
“Tim and Sammi are incredible. They are excellent leaders and have designed a challenging, age appropriate, fun and adventurous program for the kids. Though my 4-yo was apprehensive at drop-off, I returned 2 hours later and found him completely at ease, confident and eager to return next time. We love the Shed!”

“The Shed is a really fun and fantastic program. Our son has just turned 3 and he loved the hands-on factor about the activities. He comes home everyday feeling so proud of what he was able to achieve at camp - especially for climbing all those steep mountains! What we loved the most though, was how Sammi continued to inspire and empower the children throughout the week packed of fun! We loved that our son was given ample opportunities to step outside of his comfort zone and we love love loved that everything he learnt from the Shed was through experiencing. Literally THE best camp experience - Thank you!”

“Our 3.5 year old daughter loves The Shed. We have seen her becoming more and more brave and pushing herself outside of her own comfort zone in so many ways. Tim and Sammi are amazing with the kids. As parents, we love the balance of the programs that The Shed offers. From indoor "home base" work including working on fine and gross motor skills like building a go-cart to exploring nature with walks around Pok Fu Lam. It's a unique program with experienced childhood educators who truly care about your children and their holistic development as little humans. I can't recommend this program enough!”

“Having grown up in the UK, in a generation far enough back that I’m embarrassed to disclose, I never expected that my son (just turned 3) would be able to capture some of the elements of the childhood that I experienced, here in Hong Kong. That was until The Shed! What an inclusive, adventurous, transformative experience! Rivers, climbing, cooking, trails, farming, nature, beaches – the list goes on! When he returns home from school, he isn’t able to recount his day, when he returns from a Shed session he tells me about gecko eggs, insects, birds and the magnificent great outdoors! I still have vivid memories of the people that I looked up to in my childhood and have no doubt that Sammi and the team are the idols that he will carry with him from this experience. Can’t wait for the next sessions!”

“The Shed has been nothing but amazing and a great opportunity for my boys to explore HK! Every time at pick up my son would always share what he saw or built out of nature, and it always sounds so cool!! Tim, Tony and Yoshi are great mentors and role models for the boys.”
