Christmas
A volunteering vacation with your family isn’t just for Christmas, it’s for life. And there are plenty of projects out there to become involved with over that long winter break. This is a perfect time to head to Costa Rica, for example, to monitor sea turtle nesting on a quiet, tourist free but turtle rich beach. Volunteering with monkeys at a South African rehabilitation center, helping to prepare them for release into the wild is a dream come true for many. As is volunteering with elephant conservation projects in either Thailand or Sri Lanka where it may be peak season in mainstream tourism, but the world of conservation is far from the madding crowds.February half term
This is often a time when families can’t quite work out where to go and what to do. It is in between seasons for a lot of places for traditional vacations and so all the more reason to tap into volunteering projects. Thailand’s elephant conservation work is ongoing all year round, but temperatures haven’t gone through the roof yet, making this a good time to visit. The same is true if you want to help these gentle jumbos in Laos too. Bring your little monkeys to South Africa for a real treat caring for baby monkeys. And Sri Lanka’s southeast is perfect at this time, in between both monsoons, with elephant projects always in need of support. You may even catch a sight of blue whales at this time of year if you are lucky on your day off.Easter
May half term
Although there are projects the world over that need volunteers all year round, such as elephant and monkey conservation or rehabilitation work, this is also a time to consider some projects a bit closer to home too. In Romania, for example, families can help out at a bear sanctuary in the Carpathian Mountains. In the lush woodlands bears, deer and wolves are all nursed back to health with your help. On your day off, swap bears for bats with a visit to Dracula’s Castle.Summer vacations
The "grandes vacances" are a great time to have the big adventure. You can take a good amount of time off in the summer vacations, meaning you can really get stuck into a project and even combine it with a family adventure vacation. Costa Rica is perfect for this, where turtle conservation projects are always in need of help and where strolling the beaches together en famille, watching mothers nesting and babies emerging, is as spectacular as it gets. Time your visit for the end of August when the babies start to emerge if you can. South Africa has lots to offer during this time, and the temperatures are not high, making it more pleasant to work hard on projects such as monkey rehabilitation and on conservation projects in the game reserves.This is a great time to get involved in wildlife conservation in the rainforests of Borneo while, back on the other side of the world, the summer months are the only times to work with elephant conservationists in Namibia.
