​One of CCB’s most exciting and impactful activities are our environmental bush camps and educational school talks. In late August, early September and late October, CCB successfully hosted two impactful bush camps and one school activity, aimed at fostering environmental awareness and academic excellence among youth in Botswana.
 
Held at our Tiisano Education Centre between 29 August and 1 September, 40 students from West Hanahai attended our bush camp, alongside their teachers and patrons, for a hands-on learning experience focused on essential environmental concepts. Organized by CCB’s Engagement and Awareness (EAA) team, the camp featured lectures, bush walks, and interactive activities designed to cultivate a new generation of environmentally-conscious individuals.
 
Despite some logistical challenges—such as a last-minute transport issue when the Council pulled out — participants benefitted from engaging with local Indigenous Knowledge (IK) experts and a well-organized schedule. The camp provided valuable lessons on the importance of establishing strong relationships with local transport services and the need for reliable power sources, prompting discussions about future improvements, including the acquisition of additional solar lights. Overall, the camp was deemed a success, highlighting the effectiveness of collaborative planning and the need for continued stakeholder engagement in future initiatives.
 
Just days later, CCB took part in a Form 3 Boot Camp at Tshimologo Junior Secondary School in Tsootsha, addressing 126 students. This educational outreach focused on motivating students toward academic excellence while providing insights into CCB’s work and the fascinating world of cheetahs.
 
Students actively engaged in the presentation, which highlighted the differences between cheetahs and leopards—a topic that intrigued many. The event revealed a significant knowledge gap among students regarding both CCB and cheetah conservation, emphasizing the need for continued outreach.
 
And late in October, our education team was at it again, with a very special bush camp for a group of children from Kgaphamadi Primary School. The school reached out to CCB, requesting a unique learning experience for a group of special-needs students at their school. Upon adapting our bush camp curriculum and activities to meet their needs, CCB hosted 24 students, aged between 7 – 17 and seven teachers for four days of learning and fun in the bush. As part of the adapted schedule for the students, they attended a field trip to the nearby village of D’kar, where they visited the San Museum and Kuru Art Project. An inconvenient heatwave struck during the bush camp, but thanks to the wonderful swimming pool on site, the students were able to cool down between lessons, leaving them reinvigorated for the rest of the day! This is the first time that CCB has delivered a tailor-made bush camp to a group of special needs students and we were thrilled to be able to provide an exciting and fun environmental learning experience for these students. 
 
All three events underscored CCB’s commitment to education and conservation, empowering young people to become stewards of their environment while reinforcing the importance of collaboration and community engagement in all initiatives.
