THE OCEAN GUARDIANS – Diving for ocean conservation camp
INTRODUCTION
In line with NatureMind-ED’s vision of connecting people and nature we offer an immersive 5-7-days experience combining hands-on exploration of local marine, coastal and terrestrial ecosystems, conservation in action and citizen science, sustainable living and circularity. This camp is ideal for two distinct age groups and degree of commitment: 7-12 (snorkelers) and 12-17 years old children (scuba divers) with a taste for nature discovery and conscious fun with similarly minded friends.
ACTIVITY PLAN AND OBJECTIVES
Each day starts at 9:30 with brief team building games and introduction to the day’s theme. Each theme (see specific itinerary below) complement each other with regards to the skills cultivated and experiences crafted towards achieving the following goals:
• Developing a sense of awe for the myriad of living being and their unique features and skills • Developing a more holistic mind through learning about synergies and interactions
• Cultivating a greater sense of belonging to Nature
• Strengthening observation skills, appreciating natural rhythms and patterns
• Contribute to real life biodiversity conservation projects and learn the science of ecology • Enjoy a fun and memorable winter break experience
The daily activities are done over two sessions of two hours with lunch break in between. Each day ends at 15:30 after a healthy snack, except on Thursday, which will continue through the evening with storytelling around the campfire and overnight camping.
