Camps International are global leaders in ethical and sustainable school expeditions and offer fully-supported life-enhancing school expeditions across Africa, Asia and South America.
Every school expedition they offer is a real and authentic cultural experience for student's like me to travels safely with a trusted organisation.
Camps International expeditions help to challenge student's views of the world, understand the day to day challenges rural communities face and ultimately help work on projects which transform communities and help them overcome significant issues. These issues can be as basic as access to clean water ans sanitation to more complex issues involving education and housing. They also increase student’s self-worth and appreciate the impact just one person can have on the world... something I am really starting to understand myself.
I often hear people say "what's the point, I can't do anything by myself" while watching appeals like 'Children in Need' or 'Comic Relief', but actually you can. Every great invention, idea, political party, charitable trust, expedition or adventure starts with ONE person saying "I can do that".
At Camps, they also understand this... they understand that academic success is just one element of education. That’s why they offer experiences that go beyond the classroom, giving student's like me the opportunity to develop key life skills, cultural understanding and a global perspective for an increasingly international 21st century.
