Cat Tien National Park & Alpha Camp Academy: Summer Camps Where Children Grow with Nature

Cat Tien National Park is one of Vietnam’s most important natural heritage sites, recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Located in southern Vietnam, Cat Tien is home to ancient forests, rich biodiversity, winding rivers, and rare wildlife. It is a place where nature remains largely untouched — alive, calm, and deeply educational.

For generations, Cat Tien has been more than a forest. It is a living classroom, where children and adults can learn directly from nature: patience from ancient trees, balance from ecosystems, and resilience from life that thrives without haste.

Why Cat Tien Is Ideal for Children’s Summer Camps

In an age of screens, artificial intelligence, and fast-paced living, Cat Tien offers children something increasingly rare: real-world experience.

At Cat Tien National Park, children can:

• Explore forests instead of virtual worlds

• Listen to birds instead of notifications

• Learn teamwork through shared outdoor challenges

• Develop awareness, responsibility, and respect for nature

Nature here naturally teaches focus, adaptability, empathy, and courage — essential life skills for the future.
