Explore the Azores during this summer camp on the island of São Miguel. Activities such as environmental conservation, youth support, sustainable agriculture, and outdoor adventures will be led by a local team (canyoning, whale watching, volcanic excursions).
Each day will be an opportunity to learn, connect, and make a positive impact!
During this summer camp, participants take part in several volunteer projects throughout their stay, offering the chance to discover as much as possible.
