Recap of 2024 Curiosity Camp
What makes us special
Guidance
We don't teach, we guide. Guiding learners by asking questions, leveling with them, developing their curiosity and supporting in where they want to go.
Exposure
As fun as it is to dive into rabbit holes. Seeing what's out there is extremely important. We expose learners to new ideas and experiences, showing things they can get curious about.
Teamwork
A huge part is learning with and from one another. The only way that works is if we feel like a team. Encouraging learners to learn collaboratively and achieve a shared goal.

Who for?
For youth aged 11-15 who enjoy learning about topics which interest them, and creating projects based on these interests. These projects could be anything from music and art to cooking and video game design. We provide the collaborative and supportive space and guidance for this learning to happen.
What makes this special?
We have a 1:3 maximum ratio, so we restrict our camp to 30 Learners, with 10 Guides. The Guides are international youth from across the Netherlands who specialize in bringing out the most in each Learner, through individual guidance and support. During the camp, Learners will create 2 projects and 2 mini-projects. They are free to choose anything they want to create, while we provide the support, resources, and space they need to turn their ideas into real projects. As long as they are curious and care, we are happy!
Our organisational goal is to bring passion into learning and nurture the curiosity we are all born with. See more info on the About, or Ron's TEDx Talk.
Typical Curiosity Camp day?
The camp day is centred around the Learners, so everything we do is also chosen by them. We have tons of activities throughout the day to give guidance, exposure to new ideas, build teamwork, and of course, have fun. It is important to us to put the beautiful nature around the campgrounds to use, so we spend lots of time outdoors. But we strike a balance with the use of technology too! And of course, there is daily time to work on their projects and mini-projects. Learners can always opt-in or opt-out of the activities.
