At Camps International, we believe travel has the power to change lives, for the students who embark on the journey and for the communities who welcome them. That\u2019s why we\u2019re excited to announce our official launch in the United States.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve already welcomed more than 1,100 students from the U.S. and Canada who have contributed over 30,690 hours of hands-on project work. Now, we\u2019re expanding our reach to bring even more opportunities for American schools and students to take part in ethical, purpose-driven high school expeditions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Why it matters<\/h3>\n

Since 2002, Camps International has worked with more than 1,000 schools worldwide and inspired over 55,000 young people to contribute to meaningful community and conservation projects. These experiences are designed to build resilience, global awareness, and leadership skills in young adults, qualities that last long after the expedition ends.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Education That Reaches Beyond the Classroom<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Our expeditions go far beyond traditional travel. Through our Real World Studies<\/a> programme, we connect classroom learning with real-world action. Students explore the UN Sustainable Development Goals in a hands-on way, contributing to projects that create tangible benefits for local communities and the environment.<\/p>\n

As highlighted in our Impact Report<\/a>, this approach not only enhances global citizenship but also equips students with practical skills and a deeper understanding of their role in shaping a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n

The Camps Way: What Makes an Expedition?<\/h3>\n

An expedition with Camps International is more than travel. It is a structured journey where students live and work alongside local communities, contribute to meaningful projects, and experience cultural exchange in a safe, supported environment.<\/p>\n

Camps expeditions combine hands-on community and conservation work with immersive learning opportunities. Permanent camps are staffed locally in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, ensuring authenticity and sustainability. At the same time, students gain resilience, leadership skills, and a deeper understanding of global issues, making every expedition a transformative experience for both the student and the community.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Connected Through Shared Purpose<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Camps International is part of the Impact Travel Group<\/a> (ITG), a collective of mission-driven organizations dedicated to responsible travel. In the U.S., this includes World Endeavors<\/a> and Kaya Responsible Travel<\/a>. Working within this network strengthens our ability to deliver safe, ethical, and high-quality expeditions while giving schools and students access to a broader range of trusted experiences.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
