Nature Holiday Camp in Lisbon: Trail Detectives

Nature-themed summer camp in Lisbon for biodiversity detectives, forest enthusiasts, and those seeking solutions for the planet!

WWF Portugal's nature summer camp in Lisbon takes place in Entrecampos and welcomes children aged 8 to 11 for a week full of clues, games, experiences and discoveries about biodiversity.

The idea is simple and lots of fun: children become nature detectives and have a mystery to solve — discovering what is putting an ecosystem in danger. Over the course of several days, they explore forests, estuaries, biodiversity in cities, and small actions they can take to help protect the planet.

It's an excellent option for families looking for a vacation with less screen time and more contact with nature, curiosity, and hands-on learning. Between outdoor activities, group challenges, scientific experiments, and conversations with the WWF team, each child takes away new ideas about nature and the importance of their role in protecting it.

Spaces are limited and the courses take place during July and August, so it is advisable to register in advance.

Why participate in the Nature Summer Camp in Lisbon?

This field is perfect for curious children who like to ask questions, tinker, explore, and discover new things outside the classroom.

During the week, the children learn about biodiversity in a very hands-on way: they observe, play, investigate, experiment, and think about solutions. It's not a week of "sitting and listening"; it's an adventure with a case to solve.

It's also a beautiful way to help younger children look at nature more attentively. They gain vocabulary, confidence, a sense of teamwork, and a clearer understanding of how small gestures can make a difference.
