Adventurous holiday camp in Scottburgh was a hit
More youth-focused camps and conservation activities will be hosted during the year.
Young conservationists had a holiday filled with adventure thanks to the WildED Holiday Camp.
The camp concluded a successful week at Scottburgh’s Crocworld Conservation Centre over the school holidays, giving the little adventurers a hands-on introduction to conservation, outdoor skills and teamwork.
Hosted at the WildED Learning Hub by experienced camp leaders, the programme saw participants engage in orienteering challenges, a hike to Green Point Lighthouse in Clansthal and real-world conservation work at Crocworld.
This included supervised animal interactions, birding, team building exercises, survival skills, shelter building – plus a visit to Jikileza Outdoor Adventures, the only aerial adventure zipline in the region.
The week ended with an adventure race that brought together the skills and confidence built throughout the programme.
Matt Machell-Cox, co-owner of WildED Africa and programme director said that it was great to welcome new and returning youngsters to the holiday adventure.
“These hands-on experiences play a vital role in connecting young people with nature while encouraging environmental awareness through real-world experiences.”
Crocworld and WildED Africa will host more youth-focused camps and conservation activities during the year.
