Organized by MGM, the 8th MGM Golden Lion Summer Camp was successfully held from August 13 to 15, 2025. For the first time, the event was held in the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin.
Themed on “Unleashing Youth Potential”, the three-day, two-night camp featured not only comprehensive training but also site visits to key national livelihood projects in the zone. This initiative aimed to help young participants explore their potential, expand their social networks, and strengthen their capacities, while also deepening their understanding of the opportunities and challenges in the zone. This year’s camp attracted 200 junior and high school students from over 40 local schools, setting a new record in both participation and school representation.
Participants engaged in a variety of integrated training activities, combining outdoor orienteering, team-building exercises, and creative problem-solving challenges, aiming to cultivate their adaptability and collaboration skills. The itinerary also featured visits to key livelihood projects in Hengqin, such as the BY-HEALTH Transparent Factory and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Science and Technology Industrial Park of Co-operation between Guangdong and Macao, providing participants with firsthand insights into the zone’s latest developments.
The camp was officially kicked off with a ceremony held on August 13 at the MGM MACAU Ballroom, where distinguished guests encouraged the participants to embrace this meaningful journey of cultivating independence and personal growth.
Wendy Yu, Executive Vice President of Human Resources of MGM, said, “MGM has long been committed to promoting the holistic development of youth. Through diverse experiential learning activities, we aim to help them discover their potential, understand the importance of teamwork, and develop problem-solving skills. Since its launch in 2012, the Golden Lion Summer Camp has been well-received by local youth and continues to grow in both scale and content. Our objective is to provide enriching training that empowers the younger generation to enhance themselves and unlock their potential, nurturing future leaders for Macau. As this year marks our first venture into Hengqin, we hope participants will grow through challenges, build confidence through collaboration in this camp, thus contributing to Macau’s integration in national development with youthful energy.”
