De-stress At The Costa Roca Resort Club In Balamban<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nAccording to the owner of the camp, Mr. Edwin Ortiz – they have come up with this kind of recreational venue to promote Gaas and one day, be put on the map as a top destination for nature-enthusiasts. And at the same time help the locals be employed. As stated in a sitdown interview with the media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moreover, he states that EVO Nature Camp is a great venue for outdoor sports activities. The place is designed for trekking, rappelling, camping, and glamping. Glamping or glamorous camping – they will be offering big tents with nice beds inside, along with some food and snacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\nTrekking down the creek that leads to the cave \/\/ Photo source: EVO Nature Camp Facebook Page<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nAlthough the market for glamping is the Millenials, yuppies, and families, the target market for the big camping site is elementary and high school students. That sounds absolutely nice because I remember camping inside the school grounds didn\u2019t seem as appealing compared to when you\u2019re actually out in the open and in the wild. <\/p>\n\n\n\nA nice foggy day for some camping by the flowers \/\/ Photo source: EVO Nature Camp Facebook Page<\/em> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor now, the area for camping is still being developed and they currently offer camping in the gazebos.

Take lots of photos of flowers and plants.
