The Class of 2010
KenyanAdventure is holding an August to remember in 2010 for students who will have just finished their studies at college or University and want to have an amazing summer experience in Africa. If you've always wanted to volunteer in Africa and meet new like-minded people but are apprehensive about going alone - welcome to the KenyanAdventure Summer Camp 2010!
From Monday 2nd August - Friday 27th August, you can choose from the projects below, which will be situated in the Great Rift Valley and within close proximity of one other to spend your summer making a real impact on people's lives in an impoverished community.
There are 20 spaces for this unique opportunity. All volunteers will be staying within walking distance from each other and will be working on their chosen projects throughout their stay.
You will work closely with your Project Co-ordinator in order to gain the most out of your time in Kenya. They will be able to offer information and advice whilst in-country.
By volunteering with KenyanAdventure, you will be making a direct contribution to the projects that you visit Africa to work with.
Why should I volunteer in Africa?
Best of all, you can secure your place on the KenyanAdventure 2010 Summer Camp with a deposit of only £49 - get it quick before the placement is full!
