Kamp Kemmuna: What a Sustainable Getaway Looks Like

Between 14 and 15 March, Friends of the Earth Malta held its third Comino Environmental Education youth camp, Kamp Kemmuna: Edizzjoni Rebbiegħa. Following two successful camps in 2025, this marked the organisation’s first visit to Comino for the year and the third edition of the initiative, themed around spring in the hope of milder weather. Despite conditions that reminded everyone that winter had not yet fully passed, the camp was a great success, bringing together over 20 young participants at the historic bakery. The site is currently being managed and restored by Friends of the Earth Malta, with the long-term goal of transforming it into an environmental education hub on the Natura 2000 island.
