Camps International

Camps International work with local communities to decide what needs to be done, so project work can vary throughout the year. They have just launched a new project in Borneo, which aims to develop additional forms of income for communities, whilst allowing them to retain their traditional ways of life.

The placements

During your stay you will become involved with projects ranging from low-level construction to teaching, desk building and playing sports. There are no handouts to be had and all community projects are established in partnership with local people.

Camps act as a source of local industry and employment with food produce and project materials bought locally. Camps International bring the funds, enthusiastic travellers and sustainability.

Many of the volunteer programmes have a range of wildlife conservation projects. A big factor in the wildlife conservation projects is to reduce human wildlife conflict through practical solutions and education.
