Choosing your topics
A wide variety of topics can be explored and camp programmes are unique to each group depending on their age, needs and interests. In preparation for a camp, group leaders will work with our Environmental Educators in the design of a programme.
Some of the potential camp themes include
- Reptiles and scorpions
- Geology
- Fossil hunting
- Geography
