Leadership-Focused Expeditions for Schools

Camps International In Partnership with Raleigh International

A New Partnership in Student Leadership Development

Camps International and Raleigh International are partnering in an industry first, combining Camps’ trusted impact expertise with Raleigh’s globally respected leadership adventure model. Together, we are creating a new standard in purposeful youth development.

This partnership introduces a new programme of two-week overseas expeditions, delivered during the Easter and October half-term breaks, offering a shorter yet structured, outcome-led experience that serves as an ideal entry point for schools that are new to overseas programmes or have limited time available.

Explore Our Partnership Destinations

Through this partnership model, schools can access a selection of carefully chosen international destinations, each designed to balance community engagement, conservation work and structured leadership development.

Across diverse cultural and environmental settings, students contribute to established, locally led initiatives while undertaking guided leadership challenges in unfamiliar environments. Whether working alongside community partners or supporting conservation efforts in biodiverse regions, each experience is built around the same core framework:

  • Meaningful, sustainable impact
  • Adventure-based leadership challenge
  • Structured reflection and facilitated learning
  • Clear developmental outcomes

While each destination offers a distinct context and landscape, the educational structure remains consistent, ensuring your school can select the location that best fits your strategic priorities, students and calendar.
