  • Traidhos Three-Generation Community for Learning is an education center in Northern Thailand. The secure site is 25 kilometres north of Chiang Mai. Campers enjoy all the facilities on this 100-acre campus: Olympic-sized swimming pool, gym, campfire circle, farm, playing fields, lakes, amphitheatre, activity rooms and canteen.

Safety

  • The Traidhos campus is protected by 24-hour security with patrolling guards, front gate guards and CCTV.

  • There is a nurse, a well-equipped medical centre and ambulance available around the clock.

  • Our staff members are all trained to be aware of potential risks to campers and to be proactive with safety briefings before camp activities, to ensure that everyone has a safe and memorable camp. We maintain a minimum ratio of 1 staff to 10 campers.

  • You will be asked to give permission for us to post photos of your child on website or social media.

Accommodation

  • Campers will live in a purpose-built air-conditioned bunkhouse with attached bathroom facilities. Campers sleep in gender specific rooms in bunk beds. Counsellors sleep in adjoining rooms ensuring full care and attention in the event of an emergency.

  • Occasionally campers may share small apartments on campus. A camp staff member will always be close by. Students are encouraged to be independent and responsible for keeping their rooms tidy.

  • We may spend one night in a tent either on campus or at a designated campsite off campus, or in a resort of National Park facility according to the camp program.

Food

  • Meals are taken buffet style in the Traidhos Cafeteria. The campus is shared with Prem Tinsulanonda International School, so our chefs are accustomed to catering for students and always provide nutritious self-service selections including vegetarian, salad bar, noodles, bakery, fruit and desert.

  • Special diets can be catered for. Please notify us in advance.
