The MHB Knights of Nature Sustainability Camp (KON) is a 4D/3N action-packed camp aimed to equip youths today with the experience, exposure and skills necessary to help them develop ideas and efforts on environmental initiatives. The camp also aims to develop and harness the characteristics of young leaders with sustainable mind-sets. In its 14th edition, this camp will get its participants to focus on marine and maritime issues and its impact on communities, with an emphasis on addressing potential solutions to ensure that the needs of the communities and marine resources are balanced. The outcome is that youths today are exposed to the multi-faceted issues that communities and the environment face, and through the camp’s learning modules, will learn how to bridge the gap between conservation and livelihoods and address sustainable development.

The Background

The local communities of any location have the most knowledge of the environment and the area around them. They usually know the lay of the land like the back of their hand and can teach you a lot of things that you can’t usually find on Google. They play an important role in protecting the environment as they are the main stakeholders that are in constant contact with it. This year’s camp will be focused on working with a local community that are challenged by daily marine and maritime issues. The camp participants will be able to interact directly with the communities, and visit areas that are threatened by the unsustainable practices of man and the maritime industry. Through this real-time engagement experience, the youths will be able to immerse in localized environmental challenges. To help equip the youths with the necessary skills of a sustainable leader, they will be exposed to project management skills which will be very useful in assisting them plan, design and implement their own environmental initiatives.

  1. To provide 40 youths with capacity building and skills development in the area of sustainable community development.
  2. To provide experiential and real-time learning experiences for the youths through immersion visits and trips to communities and to areas that are affected by unsustainable maritime practices.
