As industry leaders in expedition safety our job is to ensure that the challenges we introduce and the services we provide are as safe as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Not only will your student be in the safe hands of their qualified and experienced expedition leader, but they will also be fully supported on the ground by our permanently employed local Camps staff. We have directors overseeing each region, a head office in each destination country and a year-round operation.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike other expedition companies, we own or manage our operations in every region we work. There is a seamless link between our local, regional and global Operations Teams and our expedition destinations.<\/p>\n<p>Your student will receive 24\/7 support from our global network of staff, so we are always on hand to prevent and deal with any incidents immediately, rather than just react from afar.<\/p>\n<p>As a Camps International traveller, your child stays in the camps that we own or manage, they use approved private transport, work on our projects and are supported by our staff.<\/p>\n<p>All this results in a fully supported expedition. It also means we are experts in the countries and areas that we work. We know what is happening on the ground and understand and are part of the communities we work with.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button button--outline\" href=\"\/aus\/safety\/\">Our Safety<\/a><\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"content-with-media__media will-animate fadeIn\"\n                 data-behaviour=\"animate-when-visible\">\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"group of student travellers posing for a group photo of reforestation in Borneo\"\n     class=\"u-stretch attachment-full-width size-full-width\"\n     src=\"https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Borneo-2022-80-small-1600x930.jpg\"\n                    srcset=\"https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Borneo-2022-80-small-400x233.jpg 360w,\n                    https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Borneo-2022-80-small-800x465.jpg 768w,\n                    https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Borneo-2022-80-small-1600x930.jpg 1440w,\n                    https:\/\/www.campsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Borneo-2022-80-small-3200x1861.jpg 2000w\"\n        \/>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"c-content-with-media content-with-media content-with-media--reversed content-section content-section--reduced-padding \"\n        id=\"fundraising-support\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"content-with-media__grid\">\n            <div class=\"content-with-media__column\">\n                                    <h2 class=\"header-6 u-small-title u-text-golden-poppy title title--with-logo\">Fundraising support<\/h2>\n                                <div class=\"user-content\">\n                    <h2><strong>Helping them fund their expedition<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Fundraising is a hugely valuable part of the expedition journey, and helps your child develop important skills for life, such as planning, negotiating and managing a budget.<\/p>\n<p>We completely understand the thought of raising the full amount for an expedition is daunting.
