They will be empowered to take ownership and develop resilience, critical thinking, and adaptability skills, valuable for addressing future environmental issues. Experiences lived during (youth) camps create lasting memories which positively influence participants’ attitudes and behaviours, thus generating a long-lasting impact on sustainability behaviour.
