WHAT MAKES THE SOCIETY DIFFERENT
Not a bigger camp.
A closer world.
What matters is not how much can fit into ten days, but what eighteen people can experience together.
- 01
Just eighteen
A small enough group to know the people behind the names.
- 02
Six teams of three
China-based and international members learn, play and work alongside one another.
- 03
Hainan, together
Golf mornings, a choice of afternoons, and time left open for conversation.
- 04
Something to take home
A team presentation and mentor feedback give a shared idea a clear direction.
01MEET
A small world.
A wider life.
Some friendships change the way you see the world. They begin with time together.
The Jade Banyan Society brings eighteen young people from China and around the world to Hainan. To share a home, find common ground, and discover what they might build together.

HAINAN / JADE ISLAND
An island
within
an island.
Three private villas on Jade Island. Shared tables, unhurried conversations, and the space to get to know one another.
A private lake. A secluded island. A world of its own.
HAINAN — JADE ISLAND — EIGHTEEN MEMBERS
03PLAY
Common ground.
Wider horizons.
Friendship has its own rhythm.
Here, there is time to find it.
AFTERNOON
Choose your own way into Hainan.
Rainforest Days and Ocean Days offer different choices, or members may stay close to the villas. No one goes alone: every outing begins with finding someone to go with.
EVENING
Build something together.
After dinner, each three-person team spends roughly one focused hour turning an idea into a realistic plan, with mentors there to challenge and guide.
Activities may change with weather, safety and operational conditions.
A DAY AT THE SOCIETY04BUILD
EVERY EVENING / BANYAN LAB
What could we
make of this?
Six teams of three. Each team brings together one China-based member and two international members.
The same three people who play together in the morning return to the table after dinner for roughly one focused hour, shaping a realistic business idea with mentors alongside them.
The programme ends with presentations and honest feedback: a chance to test whether an idea is clear, useful and workable enough to carry home.
THE START OF SOMETHINGFrom conversation to possibility.
05RETURN
The days end.
The connection stays.
A friendship to carry home.
An idea to keep working on.
An island you may one day return to, together.
SAFETY & SUPERVISION
Shared life,
with clear care around it.
Six members live in each of three villas, with a resident overnight staff member in each villa and a Night Duty Lead each night.
Rooming, phone custody and family contact have clear arrangements. The practical guide brings these together, alongside travel, health and privacy.
