For the adolescent adventurer

Children can put their physical strength to the test as well as learn a number of self-management skills.

Green Camp Bali’s Four Islands Camp is perfect for children who enjoy surfing the waves more than the internet. Catering for 12- to 17-year-olds, the summer camp features an eight-day expedition into the heart of the Indonesian archipelago, where young campers get to explore the Subak rice fields, kayak through mangroves and learn the Balinese Kecak dance.

Glamping in well-equipped yurts gives kids the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate nature.

Children live in the thatch-roofed bamboo yurts on the west side of the campus, while other campers dwell in dormitory-styled lodges on the east of the Ayung River. With both accommodations deeply buried within a thicket of trees, Green Camp gives city kids ample chance to commune with nature. Young campers live in the wilderness while enjoying the comfort and safety of well decked-out amenities which include mosquito nets, ceiling fans and hotel-standard towels.

Cost: US$1,750 for an eight-day, seven-night stay.
