6 . Elephant Conservation
Country:Thailand
This is a working vacation at a wildlife centre. Anyone can become a volunteer if he/she agrees to help the elephant keepers with tasks.
Daily tasks
Collect the elephants at 6:30 a.m. Take them to look for food in the forest. Clean the enclosure. Swim with the elephants in the lake in the afternoon. If volunteers want to relax after work, they can watch satellite television.
How this vacation helps
If these elephants hadn’t been rescued, they would still be living on the streets of Bangkok. A rural environment is much better for them than an urban environment where there is lots of pollution.
Gorilla Safari
Countries:Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda
Departures:Aug.—Dec., 2—3 departures per month
Extras:gorilla permit £220
If you’re lucky, you’ll see lions, elephants and rhinos on safari. The highlight of the trip is the opportunity to see gorillas in the mountain forests. However, you must be in good health—if a gorilla caught a cold, it would be extremely harmful to its whole family.
How this vacation helps
There are only about 600 mountain gorillas left in the world as human activity has reduced the area where they can live. When you buy a permit, this will pay for the protection of the national park.
Polar Bear Watching
Country:Canada
Departures:sixty trips between Oct. 1—Nov. 19
Every October and November, groups of polar bears gather in Hudson Bay. As they are normally lonely creatures, this is unusual. The bears wait for the ocean to freeze so they can hunt seals, so this is the perfect opportunity to see them.
How this vacation helps
If the Arctic ice cap melts due to global warming, polar bears will be in danger. We give a share of our profits to the Polar Bears Alive Charity.

9 . What Is Space Camp?
Space camp is a camp for kids (10-14) on Earth. It is a camp to get young people excited about space, science and maths. For a week, build and launch a model rocket and eat space food. They also get to meet an astronaut (宇航员). Not only that, they get to train like an astronaut, too. The campers find out how an astronaut’s spacesuit (航天服) and helmet (头盔) stop the astronaut from getting too hot or too cold in space.
Training for Moon Walking
There is an unusual chair at space camp — the gravity chair. It hangs from springs (弹簧). The chair helps the campers to feel what it is like to walk on the moon. The gravity on the moon is six times weaker than the gravity on Earth. When the campers are in the gravity chair, they find it hard to walk. There are three different ways they can move in it. They can bunny hop (兔子), or do a slow walk.
A Day in Space and Rocket Centre
One of the most exciting activities of space camp is visiting the space and rocket centre. The space and rocket centre has more than 1,500 things for campers to look at, such as small moon rock and the Saturn V rocket.
