Our farm and campsite is located in a beautiful and quiet natural area. Our KIDS CAMPSITE is specially designed for groups of children from English Medium Primary Schools. We provide them with all the materials they need, like tents and mattresses, but they can create their own nature camp, campfire place and playground in the wilderness. Isn’t that wonderful? In daytime we offer plenty of activities whereby the group will be divided into smaller groups. WELCOME to “EL CAMPO”, a small size organic farm and campsite hidden in the bush land in the Bagamoyo region. If your students like to enjoy and learn about nature, animals, fruits, plants and trees then EL CAMPO is the place for them! Imagine, they can build their own camp, harvest and cook their own food and take care of our animals. Our place is very suitable for outdoor or extracurricular activities for your school. We will make sure it will be an unforgettable experience for your students! “YOUR GLOBAL FOOTPRINT” is a counseling activity which encourages children to take better care of nature and the environment. The footprint is used for showing how much pressure we put on our planet by consuming and depleting its natural resources. After filling out a questionnaire their final marks will show the magnitude of each of the student’s footprint and after that we discuss what they can do for reducing their footprint. We finalize each session with each group PLANTING THEIR OWN TREE. With our “EL CAMPO COMPETITION” different groups compete against each other with several games, like Water Cup Race, Rope Pulling, Sack Race, Sweet Mzungu and Guess What? We also offer a TREASURE HUNT, which means the group has to follow a trail that will be marked by indicators. Upon request we can arrange for additional workshops like BEEKEEPING, FIRST AID IN THE WILDERNESS and DARK SKIES (astronomy workshop at night). There is also plenty of time for leisure and sports, like a soccer game or volleyball. After taking a bath it is time for dinner and after dinner we light a big CAMPFIRE. The children can sit, sing or dance around the fire. There is also an opportunity to bake bread or roast some cassava on the campfire. After a busy program they will certainly fall asleep… Any other idea for your school’s own activity program is welcome!

Transcript of Overview of activities

Our farm and campsite is located in a beautiful and quiet natural area. Our KIDS

CAMPSITE is specially designed for groups of children from English Medium Primary

Schools. We provide them with all the materials they need, like tents and mattresses,

but they can create their own nature camp, campfire place and playground in the

wilderness. Isn’t that wonderful? In daytime we offer plenty of activities whereby the

group will be divided into smaller groups.

WELCOME to “EL CAMPO”, a small size organic farm and campsite hidden in the bush land in

the Bagamoyo region. If your students like to enjoy and learn about nature, animals, fruits,

plants and trees then EL CAMPO is the place for them! Imagine, they can build their own

camp, harvest and cook their own food and take care of our animals. Our place is very suitable

for outdoor or extracurricular activities for your school. We will make sure it will be an

unforgettable experience for your students!

“YOUR GLOBAL FOOTPRINT” is a counseling activity which encourages children to take

better care of nature and the environment. The footprint is used for showing how much

pressure we put on our planet by consuming and depleting its natural resources. After filling

out a questionnaire their final marks will show the magnitude of each of the student’s

footprint and after that we discuss what they can do for reducing their footprint. We

finalize each session with each group PLANTING THEIR OWN TREE.

With our “EL CAMPO COMPETITION” different groups compete against each other with

several games, like Water Cup Race, Rope Pulling, Sack Race, Sweet Mzungu and Guess

What? We also offer a TREASURE HUNT, which means the group has to follow a trail that

will be marked by indicators. Upon request we can arrange for additional workshops like

BEEKEEPING, FIRST AID IN THE WILDERNESS and DARK SKIES (astronomy workshop at

night). There is also plenty of time for leisure and sports, like a soccer game or volleyball.

After taking a bath it is time for dinner and after dinner we light a big CAMPFIRE. The children can sit, sing or dance around the fire. There is also an opportunity to bake bread or roast some cassava on the campfire. After a busy program they will certainly fall asleep…
