All camps have an underlying goal, which is that young people develop an understanding of and connection with the wilderness. We use a combination of adventure, art and science to this end. Topics/ themes to be covered are discussed with teachers and group leaders or we present a tailor-made package of activities for the 3-5 day camps in the Cederberg. Themes include: • Animals of the Western Cape • Leopard and caracal research • Black eagle research • Human-wildlife conflict • Animal tracking • Rock art and archaeology • Astronomy • Fynbos biomes • Birds and insects – pollination • Reptiles and scorpions • Geology • Geography • Survival and navigation skills • Art, writing and photography • Life skills and self-development Trips can be adapted according to the curriculum and the interests of a particular group, or to address current conservation challenges. This year we have placed particular emphasis on teaching children about saving water, as well as the effects of fire and drought. Activities include hiking to learn more about leopards and other animals of the Western Cape, learning about other forms of biodiversity, cave exploration, visiting rock art sites, night walks, astronomy and scorpion searches.
