About the Package

Theme
Life in the stream: as a reflection of human relationships experiencing nature and the environment with a special focus on the Lisu culture and activities on the Mae Tang River.

The camp is an opportunity for participants to connect with nature, learn about themselves, experience the impact we have on the environment and create individual and group plans to make a difference in rebuilding the environment.

Each student will explore element of these topics at a practical level and create their own mission to take away with clear steps of action.

We believe the youth of today are the catalyst for future environmental change. To support them in achieving this we must equip them with the necessary knowledge, self-discovery experiences and practical tools.

Participants are encouraged to express/share and give feed back on any of the camps experiences. We as facilitators guide the participants to discover for themselves what do they value and how in their own unique way can make a difference to the global environmental concerns.

This experience will be fun and full of learning in beautiful natural surroundings. It will allow for real Talent to surface while tapping into the unique Creativity of each person.

Location
