\u2026and don\u2019t miss the Early-Bird Special cut-off to save more on this nature-based adventure for kids<\/p>\n

The much-loved WildED Holiday Camp returns to the Crocworld Conservation Centre in Scottburgh from 15 to 19 December, offering children aged 8 to 13 an unforgettable week of outdoor adventure, exploration, and hands-on learning. Early-bird specials have been extended to 28 November, saving families more for a full week of this nature-based experience \u2013 with single-day options also available.<\/p>\n

This year, WildED is excited to introduce Keren Worlock, the camp\u2019s lead outdoor educator, whose extensive international experience brings a new dimension to the programme. Her passion for the outdoors began before she could walk: \u201cSwimming in the ocean before I could walk, face down in the dirt, exploring all the little critters we share our world with\u2026 my love for nature began as a toddler!\u201d<\/p>\n

Raised on the East Coast of South Africa, Keren went on to study Conservation and Marine Sciences with the aim of sharing her knowledge with children around the world. After more than 12 years of teaching in classrooms across multiple countries, she answered the call of the outdoors once again, moving to Bali to direct an outdoor education and ocean-awareness organisation that welcomed students from across Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

Today, she divides her time between South Africa \u2013 supporting Project Rhino and WildED Africa \u2013 and Southeast Asia as a specialist outdoor educator. Commenting on the upcoming camp, she said: \u201cWith our incredibly passionate WildED team, we help kids unplug, get their hands dirty, explore safely, connect with nature and each other. They will return home happily exhausted, giving parents a well-earned break too!\u201d<\/p>\n

Professionally Designed for Fun and Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n

The camp is planned alongside Matt Machell-Cox, co-owner of WildED Africa and Programme Director, who has over 20 years of local and international experience organising adventure camps. His expertise ensures the perfect balance of safety, structure, and high-energy fun.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s camp promises even more adventure and excitement,\u201d says Machell-Cox. \u201cWe\u2019ve added new activities like the Jikaleza Outdoor Adventures treetop rope course, along with all the favourites that keep kids engaged. It\u2019s a fantastic opportunity for children to reconnect with nature, make new friends, and learn valuable conservation skills.\u201d<\/p>\n

For working parents, the WildED Holiday Camp offers a meaningful and practical solution during the busy December period. Children are kept busy outdoors and away from screens!<\/p>\n
