Forest hikes, kayaking, and after-dark frogging are just some of the exciting adventures in nature that children attending this year’s WildED Holiday Camp can look forward to. Hosted by Crocworld Conservation Centre and Nandimvelo Outdoor Education, the holiday camp will run from 19 to 23 December from 8.30am to 3.30pm at Crocworld in Scottburgh.
“This five-day camp will include incredibly fun, safe and engaging activities, all led by our professional group of leaders,” explained WildED Holiday Camp Director, Matt Machell-Cox. “This is a really great opportunity for kids to explore nature, be actively engaged in conservation and have a valuable learning experience along the way.”
Children, aged 8 to 13 years, will get the chance to enjoy animal interactions, adventure games, alternative sports, arts & crafts, as well as after-dark adventures such as Survivor, frogging and a bonfire. During these five days, they will learn how to SUP and kayak safely on the beautiful Black Rock Estuary as well as surf at one of the best and safest KZN beaches. They will hike and explore coastal forests, savannahs and beaches, all the while learning valuable basic survival skills. There is also an Adventure Race planned which combines all the knowledge and skills learned into an epic team competition.
Conservation and nature are at the heart of the WildED Holiday Camp which is why all camp attendees will be immersed in Crocworld’s daily conservation activities such as looking after the birds, mammals and non-dangerous reptiles. There will also be a clean-up restoring local ecosystems while experiencing the incredible local habitats including forests, mangroves, savannah, rocky shores and beaches.

Why is the environment important to human kind? The environment is important to human kind because it provides us with the basic necessities of life such as air, water, food and shelter. It also has a direct impact on our physical and mental well-being, as it provides places for recreation and relaxation, and can help to reduce stress. Furthermore, the environment contributes to the overall quality of life, as it helps to regulate the climate, and can affect the health of our economy and communities. Finally, the environment is essential for sustaining the biodiversity of our planet, which is essential for the survival of many species, including humans.
Three examples of how the environment affects human activities?
- Climate Change: Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and overfishing are all contributing to global climate change. Climate change has been linked to a range of impacts, from more extreme weather patterns to sea level rise and disruption of food production.
- Air Pollution: Human activities such as burning fossil fuels for energy production, transportation, and industrial processes are a major source of air pollution. This air pollution can cause respiratory problems, acid rain, and crop damage.
- Water Pollution: Human activities such as dumping waste into bodies of water, agricultural runoff, and oil spills can lead to water pollution. This pollution can cause algal blooms, contamination of drinking water, and destruction of aquatic ecosystems.
