Question 1

DOES THE CAMPING EXPERIENCE PROMOTE SUSTAINABILITY?

Accepted Answer

Sustainability lies at the core of Chyulu Wilderness Camp. The camp is a fossil fuel-free, carbon-negative eco-lodge. We use locally grown food, sustainable energy sources and water from the local pump, exposing the students to more eco-friendly ways of living.

Question 2

HOW WILL THE STUDENTS LEARN TO BE MORE ECO-CONSCIOUS?

Accepted Answer

The education the students receive will be the first step in a long-term process of changing mindsets through awareness of economic and environmental difficulties in other parts of the world that they would not usually be exposed to in everyday life. Students will be immersed in sustainable tourism due to the nature of the lodge, and will also partake in eco-conscious activities such as tree planting, organic farming, and learning about conservation in various ways.

The price of CHF 4900 will cover transport from/to Nairobi to the Camp, accommodation, food, and the safari experience expenses.

Discipline must be enforced: the camp is a school entity. If a camper disobeys the Chyulu Codes,(https://www.roseycamps.ch/files/chyulu-codes.pdf) the camp director may punish him/her with various tasks (in the kitchen, in the gardens). In serious cases, he will refer the matter to the local authorities and will organize the return of the camper to his/her home.
