Local Policy Sparks Educational Tourism Boom: Raynia Camp Offers Smart Alternative for School Trips in Indonesia

Date:

As local governments across Indonesia begin mandating that school study tours be conducted within city limits, a new wave of opportunity is emerging—particularly for educational tourism destinations. One standout is Raynia Camp, located in Caringin, Bogor Regency, which is redefining school trips with an immersive blend of nature, culture, and hands-on learning.

Launched in mid-2024 by the community-based organization Mata Tunas 17, Raynia Camp is not just another recreational site. It’s a purpose-built environment where learning meets the outdoors, and students are invited to explore subjects like agriculture, animal husbandry, and local crafts through real-world experiences.

“We don’t offer sightseeing—we offer structured education in nature,” says Tri Satria, CEO of Mata Tunas 17. “Our goal is to make outdoor learning an impactful part of the curriculum.”

Smart Tourism Meets Smart Learning

Raynia Camp blends local traditions with interactive activities. Students can learn to play the angklung (a traditional bamboo instrument) or try their hand at Cimande-style pencak silat, a form of Indonesian martial arts deeply rooted in Sundanese culture.

To deepen the connection with local life, visitors tour nearby villages using colorful odong-odong (modified village transport vehicles), fostering social interaction and community appreciation. The camp also offers various outdoor games and challenges such as a flying fox, spider web, body rafting, two-line bridge, and obstacle courses, all under the guidance of experienced mentors—many of whom are extracurricular coaches from local schools.

For Families and Adventure Seekers

Raynia Camp isn’t just for students. Adults looking for eco-adventure can go rafting along the Cisadane River—a thrilling 12-kilometer ride—or hike to the scenic Cikaracak Waterfall, which is just an hour’s trek from the basecamp. For those who enjoy leisure activities, a nearby fishing pond offers a quiet retreat.

Overnight visitors can stay in tent-based accommodations, allowing for a true camping experience surrounded by the lush landscapes between Mount Salak and Mount Pangrango. The camp’s location—just off the Caringin exit of the Bocimi toll road—ensures quick access without the stress of traffic congestion.

Why Raynia Camp Matters

In a world where education often feels confined to classrooms, destinations like Raynia Camp remind us that learning can—and should—happen anywhere. For school groups, scout organizations, LDKS leadership camps, or even international families looking to expose their children to sustainable, community-driven tourism, Raynia Camp provides an exceptional alternative.
