Connect kids with nature this December at the ultimate holiday camp
The popular WildED Holiday Camp is returning to Crocworld Conservation Centre in Scottburgh from 15 to 19 December. Hosted at the WILDED Learning Hub @ Crocworld Conservation Centre in Scottburgh, the WildED Holiday Camp gives children aged 8 to 13 years an unforgettable week of fun. Children are welcome to come for one day, a few days or the entire week of outdoor exploration and conservation-based learning.
“This year’s camp promises even more adventure and excitement,” says WildED holiday camp director, Matt Machell-Cox. “We’ve added new activities like the exciting Jikikeza Outdoor Adventures treetop rope course, along with all the favourites that make these holiday camps such a hit with children. It’s a fantastic opportunity for children to reconnect with nature, make new friends and learn valuable life and conservation skills.”
WildED is committed to outdoor education for the next generation of conservation warriors. Each activity has been carefully designed to encourage teamwork, problem-solving and respect for the natural world. All the activities take place in a safe, guided environment led by experienced camp facilitators.
“This is such a great opportunity for youngsters to get out in nature and experience the lasting impact they can have in conservation in a really fun and dynamic setting,” says Susan Badat, Crocworld Conservation Centre manager. “It’s time for the kids to take a break from screens and make real, lasting connections and memories that will positively shift how they view the world.”
From 09h00 to 15h30 daily (ending at 12h30 on Friday), campers will participate in a range of exciting nature-based and adventure activities including:
- Orienteering and outdoor navigation challenges
