Redu

Tag 1-2

Landing Day: You arrive at our campsite location at 13.00. After introductions, we start with the first experience on our campgrounds: How to build a shelter that is safe, dry and warm for the night using just a tarp? Thereafter, we set up our campsite and cook a lovely meal at the bonfire. --> This day is about landing in a beautiful environment.

Poix-Saint-Hubert

Tag 2-3

Learning Day: After breakfast, we pack up camp and go for a day-trekking. Today we will learn about navigation, filtering water, firemaking and the fauna and flora of the region. This trekking has many little challenges that the group has to tackle. You can think of this as a game format where the more accurate your decisions the easier you get to your destination. In addition, we will make time for reflection, energizers and a fire/senses meditation. Once arrived on our sleeping spot, we will set up our tarps and build a fire together for the evening dinner. If weather allows, we will also address stargazing and night navigation. --> This day is about learning while playing and exploring.

Ochamps

Tag 3-4

Survival Day: I do not share these plans yet as not knowing what is going to happen is part of the challenge and the fun. Expect nice nature, bonding moments and victorious wins. As on the previous days we will have breakfast, lunch and dinner. After our final night, we will pack up and reflect on what we learned during our final breakfast. --> This day is about implementing your skills and working as a team.
