Who are Camps International? Camps International are award winning global leaders in ethical and sustainable school expeditions. They offer fully supported school expeditions, to industry leading safety standards, across Africa, Asia and Latin America, providing an authentic cultural experience for every travelling student.
Where will they be going and what will they be doing? The beautiful and biodiverse remote rainforest of Costa Rica will become your home on this exciting expedition. Work alongside conservationists to protect the natural environment and discover an array of colourful marine life as you learn to scuba dive. Get back to nature and experience living in the heart of the rainforest, where monkeys and toucans will be your closest neighbours. Working alongside local people, you’ll learn about innovative and sustainable solutions to environmental issues and get involved in inspiring projects to support the environment, wildlife and community. To top it all off, you’ll undertake your PADI Open Water Dive Qualification, learning to scuba dive in warm tropical waters, surrounded by exotic fish and the occasional turtle.
What will they get out of the experience? This fully supported expedition will provide our students with a unique opportunity to live alongside rural communities, broadening their perspective on the world. It will allow students to push boundaries and step outside of their comfort zone, embarking on a personal development journey. It will enable them to reach and exceed their academic and personal potential, develop valuable life skills and gain key extra-curricular experience highly regarded by universities and employers.
How much does it cost and how will we pay for the expedition? This all-inclusive expedition costs £5520 and can be paid via scheduled payment plans. Payment plans facilitate both fundraising activities and financial management. All students are encouraged to fundraise the cost, teaching them important life skills such as money management, problem solving and event planning. If fundraising is new to you, then don’t worry, the Camps International crew will support you and our students every step of the way. We look forward to seeing you and your family at the presentation. Can't make it? Register anyway and we will send you more information. Kindest regards, St Christopher School
