Our Pledge

We’re a social enterprise on a global scale

We are a family of a dozen nationalities spread around the world, with one common goal. We are an ethical company, dedicated to a responsible travel model. We are pioneers, striving to bring about positive change.

We believe in making all of the experiences of all of our volunteers truly exceptional.  We believe in making a positive impact on the lives of the people in our host communities, as well as our volunteers. We believe in aiming for excellence in everything that we do.

We do social and environmental project work in areas of both economic need and ecological significance. We do adventure through safe, dynamic, and unique expeditions. We do life changing experiences.

What we do matters. Ethical journeys without compromise.

Our ethical and commercial objectives go hand in hand – we’re fully committed to the projects we start and the communities we work with. We understand change doesn’t happen overnight; it’s achieved through long-term collaboration and real social enterprise.

At Camps International, we’ve established our own charity, The Camps Foundation, to provide additional support to our ongoing initiatives, meaning we’re able to fulfil our commitments and implement real change.

Our business model is designed to have maximum, long term impact in partnership with the communities we are based within. As a social enterprise our strategies are to maximize improvements in human and environmental wellbeing.

We’re not a nasty bunch of corporates in suits, each and every person involved in our business cares and makes a positive impact for change.

We’re also fully committed to you.
