Subsidise a wilderness camp

Letting children experience nature so that they can fall in love and care for biodiversity is a mainstay of our EE work. We aim to host several wilderness camps per year, based in the Cederberg and Overberg regions. Cederberg camp activities include hiking, fossil and scorpion hunting, stargazing and exploring rock art, while Overberg camps include some adventure activities like kayaking and beachcombing. Education about leopards, biodiversity and conservation is the golden thread that underpins all these activities. For some, this could be the first and only opportunity they may have to experience camping in nature. Many of the children have never travelled so far from their homes, never experienced wilderness or even seen the mountains or the sea up close, and it is a privilege to introduce these young learners to the wonders of nature and instil in them an appreciation for wild places.
