Mr. Thepparat Theppitak, EGCO Group's President, said, "EGCO Group has resumed the "EGCO Forest Youth Camp" after the Covid-19 pandemic has been resolved. The camp will bring young people out of the online world and back to the real world again. Based on our strong belief that "a good beginning will yield good result", EGCO Group has continuously instill the natural resources conservation mindset among the youth who will become the future of the nation. We also focus on conservation of watershed forests which are the origin of rivers, energy sources, and rich of biodiversity. With the forest as their borderless classroom throughout the 7-day-6-night camp, participating high school students nationwide will learn together more about the ecosystem of watershed forests and explore ways to apply what they learn into their daily life."
The 65 students who passed the selection process of the "56th EGCO Forest Youth Camp" will travel by train and go camping in the Doi Inthanon National Park in Chiang Mai province. The national park will serve as their natural classroom during the week-long camp. Participants will explore forests along Kew Mae Pan Nature Trail which is rich of geographical and biological diversity and learn more about the nature while nurturing relationship with other students joining the camp. The activity is fully sponsored by EGCO Group.
