Eco-Camps and Field Trips

Eco-Camps and Field Trips focuses on the development of immersive outdoor educational experiences that foster a deep connection between children and nature. Participants will explore how to design and implement eco-camps and field trips that stimulate curiosity, promote environmental stewardship, and enhance learning through hands-on activities. The course emphasizes project-based learning, allowing participants to collaborate, innovate, and share their findings, with opportunities for publication in Cademix Magazine.
Throughout the program, learners will gain practical skills in planning and executing outdoor educational programs that cater to diverse age groups and learning objectives.
