Summer camp: Animal rescue center in Ecuador

This summer camp in Ecuador aims to offer an immersive experience to young people aged 15 to 17 by allowing them to get involved in a volunteer project while enjoying various leisure activities to discover the country and improve their English skills.

The project takes place in an animal rescue center located in the Amazon rainforest, which shelters abused or abandoned animals. Participants will have the opportunity to observe and assist the local team with this meaningful project.

 

The Volunteer Project

The volunteer project at the animal rescue center gives the summer camp a strong purpose and helps raise awareness about animal protection and environmental issues.

The tasks include:

  • Cutting fruit and preparing food portions
  • Feeding the animals
  • Cleaning and maintaining the enclosures
  • Repairing and building enclosures
  • Gardening
  • Improving the walking paths
  • Making informational signs for visitors

 

This volunteer project is a highly educational experience for young people. Getting involved alongside the local community fosters reflection on essential issues, while also being a great opportunity to improve their English.

 

Cultural Activities

During the trip, participants are supervised and can take part in activities with others from the program during evenings and weekends.

Here are some of the activities usually offered:

  • Visit of Quito
  • Salsa discovery and lessons
  • Tree climbing in the forest
