Earthkeepers
Sparking wonder and care for the natural world
This is a memorable 3 day, 2 night camp, for 10 -12 year olds.
Beginning with a letter from EM, students are invited to the Earthkeepers Training Centre - and so the magical adventure begins.
Students are delighted by drama based activities, activated by hands on learning and calmed by time in the outdoors.
They learn about big ecological concepts including Energy Flow, Cycling of Materials, Interrelationships and Change Over Time.
They have quiet solo time in the forest everyday, in their very own Magic Spot, to process their thoughts and feelings - a crowd favourite.
They leave determined to share their knowledge and experience about the natural world and to be a champion for sustainability.
