Welcome to our annual ECO-Explorer Camp for students attending Dulwich College International's family of schools. This camp is an excellent opportunity for students to get involved in protecting and preserving our beautiful planet, in practical and relevant ways. Hosted by Dulwich College Shanghai Puxi, this will be a hands-on, action oriented 3 day camping weekend, packed with innovative workshops and student-led learning. The weekend is designed to provide excellent opportunities for student leadership, environmental education & volunteer service.

The camping weekend is specifically designed for 7-12 year olds. We will set up our camp together inside Dulwich Puxi’s beautiful green 40,000 square meters of outdoor space. All students will be responsible for setting up their own tents within the school camp and managing their tent space across the 3 days. Students will mix with fellow students from across the Dulwich family of schools, and groups will be set according to age for all workshops. Teachers from each attending school will be present for the entire camp.

This year the theme for our Weekend Eco Explorer Camp is Protect and Preserve.
