Camps International
Camps International is a social enterprise which runs educational and impactful expeditions for school groups. We own and operate camps in rural areas throughout Africa, Asia and South and Central America. Camps are located where poverty levels are high and/or there are significant environmental and wildlife conservation challenges. Most camps are established on community land and employ local people to build, staff and supply them, with each one acting as the hub from which we run our wide range of sustainable projects and adventure activities for young people from around the globe.
