I have led 9 expeditions for Camps International. The journey that the students go on themselves is unbelievable to watch - confidence and independence increases, team work and cooperation develops, support and understanding of fellow team members becomes a natural part of their day. This is to say nothing of the friendships that i saw develop - students made friends with new groups of people, students from others schools and developed professional relationships with the accompanying adults. Everytime i saw this happen, it was alongside getting stuck into worthwhile projects which had a noticable effect and positive impact on the communities in which we worked. It wasn't all just projects though - Football and volleyball with the locals, sports day at the school, local language lessons, some scuba diving, safari's and we even tried our hand at making the local food!! Love Camps International and what they do, and will happily lead another expedition for them!
