In this summer camp for 15 to 17-year-olds, you will have the opportunity to take part in two volunteer projects in Thailand: elephant conservation at a sanctuary and a construction and renovation project for local infrastructure.
Through a few organized activities outside of the volunteering projects, you will also get to explore Thai culture.
You will visit a sanctuary for elephants that have been rescued from poaching or deforestation. The local team provides care for the elephants, and you will assist them with their daily tasks.
Participants will mainly help to keep the elephants’ habitat clean and healthy and to prepare their food.
In addition to the elephant project, participants will contribute to community infrastructure projects, mainly in schools and cultural or educational centers. This is also a great opportunity to engage and exchange with the local community.
On site, you can help in various ways: painting, mixing cement, building walls, and other basic renovations.
A coordinator is always present on all projects to supervise, ensure safety, and meet the participants’ needs at any time.
Getting involved in this program helps young people develop many skills, become more independent, and also practice their English with locals and fellow participants from around the world.
During the trip, participants will be able to join activities with the rest of the group during their free time and in the evenings.
More details about the activities and schedule are available in the brochure.
