Who are Camps International?
Camps International are award winning global leaders in ethical and sustainable school expeditions. 
They offer fully supported school expeditions, to industry leading safety standards, across Africa, 
Asia and Latin America, providing an authentic cultural experience for every travelling student.
Where will they be going and what will they be doing?
From open Savannas and vibrant deserts to rural villages with the friendliest of people – this 
expedition will immerse you in all that Kenya has to offer and leave you with memories that last a 
lifetime.

 

Work hand in hand with locals, becoming immersed in the culture, learning traditional skills and 
making a measurable impact through project work. Experience the incredible wildlife Kenya is famous 
for, whilst helping to protect their natural habitats and safeguard their futures. You’ll also take 
on the challenge of trekking to the summit of Mount Kenya and have the chance to spot the Big 5 of 
the animal kingdom when you head out on safari.
What will they get out of the experience?
This fully supported expedition will provide our students with a unique opportunity to live 
alongside rural communities, broadening their perspective on the world. It will allow students to 
push boundaries and step outside of their comfort zone, embarking on a personal development 
journey. It will enable them to reach and exceed their academic and personal potential, develop 
valuable life skills and gain key extra-curricular experience highly regarded by universities and 
employers.


How much does it cost and how will we pay for the expedition?
This all-inclusive expedition costs £5230 and can be paid via scheduled payment plans. Payment 
plans facilitate both fundraising activities and financial management. All students are encouraged 
to fundraise the cost, teaching them important life skills such as money management, problem 
solving and event planning. If fundraising is new to you, then don’t worry, the Camps International 
crew will support you and our students every step of the way.
We look forward to seeing you and your family at the presentation. Can't make it? Register anyway 
and we will send you more information.


Kindest regards,
The Purbeck School
