Students from Class 2 Edinburgh, Coventry, and Newcastle participated in the Eco Treasure Camp held in Longalo, an outdoor learning program designed to strengthen environmental awareness, collaboration, and character development through direct interaction with nature.
Surrounded by the natural beauty of Longalo, the program began with an opening session and orientation to prepare students for a day of meaningful learning beyond the classroom. Through guided discussions, students were introduced to basic concepts of environmental care, sustainability, and responsible behavior toward nature.
One of the main activities was the Eco Treasure Hunt, where students worked in teams to complete eco themed challenges that encouraged problem solving, cooperation, and critical thinking. Each station invited students to observe their surroundings, answer environmental questions, and practice positive actions such as waste sorting and caring for natural resources.
A meaningful highlight of the Eco Treasure Camp was the tree planting activity. Students actively planted trees as a symbol of their commitment to protecting the environment. This hands on experience helped students understand the importance of trees for life and inspired them to take responsibility for the environment starting from a young age.
In addition, students took part in outbound games, group reflections, and creative eco based activities that promoted confidence, communication, and teamwork. The program concluded with a reflection session and closing ceremony, where students shared their experiences and lessons learned throughout the camp.
The Principal highlighted the value of experiential learning in nature.
“Through the Eco Treasure Camp, our students learn that caring for the environment is a shared responsibility. Activities like tree planting help children understand that small actions can create a meaningful impact for the future,” said the Principal .
The Eco Treasure Camp in Longalo reflects the school’s commitment to holistic education by integrating academic learning, character building, and environmental stewardship in a joyful and engaging way.
