Camp Kapes
IMMERSIVE SOCIETAL
LEARNING
As part of our mission to empower future generations to have a positive impact on society, we have partnered with Mountain Quests to take your students on a 7-day adventure unlike any other, to a part of Kenya rarely visited on the tourist trail.
Your students will go behinds the scenes of the Wildlife Works Kasigua Corridor REDD+ project that we support with the sale of each Kapes school uniform. While here they will learn first-hand from the changemakers that are the social enterprises working to make the world a better place in this developing community. We will provide a hands-on experience into how this project protects wildlife, keeps trees in the forests, and positively impacts the local community.
Students will participate in real-world citizen science and conservation efforts, in addition to engaging with the local community to learn all about their sustainable practices from elephant dung paper making to basket weaving. They will also work alongside research scientists, learning how to collect data for the project, and park rangers, learning how to survive and thrive in the wild, as well as enjoy several stunning game drives, in the hope of meeting some, if not all of Africa’s big 5.
How will your students make a difference?
