Cambodia Expedition – student write-up

Over the summer, a group of our students embarked on an extraordinary journey to Cambodia with Camps International, taking part in life-changing community development projects.

This once-in-a-lifetime experience saw students fully immerse themselves in local culture while making a real impact. From supporting essential community initiatives to contributing to vital environmental work, they demonstrated resilience, teamwork, and compassion every step of the way.

We are incredibly proud of all the students involved — your commitment, courage, and community spirit have made a lasting difference. Well done!

Here is Cameron’s write-up of the expedition and his thoughts for students thinking of taking part in a Camps International expedition in the future:

The Cambodia trip was an absolute dream that will change your life.  You’ll learn about the history of Cambodia and how it got to peace from decades of recent turmoil, widening your historical and cultural knowledge. You’ll visit the bustling cities of Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, highlighting the real progress of Cambodia. Not to mention, you’ll get to meet new people and now, some of my best friends are people I met on this trip! From visiting the world famous Angkor Wat (the largest religious building in the world) to sleeping in a monastery after meditating with monks, this is such a unique opportunity that I strongly urge you to take. The only bad part will be missing Cambodia and reflecting on your memories once you arrive back home!
