Wilderness camp for teenagers (5 days)
Freedom, adventure and lots of wilderness
We spend a great week at camp together in the midst of nature. We learn new skills to help us find our way around the wilderness even better. We discover and taste edible plants, make fires just like our ancestors did and carve our own eating utensils. We cook our meals over a campfire and even in an earth pit. On our forays into the wilderness, we learn about the way of life of lynxes and our native wild animals. Of course, we also use the evenings for exciting games. And those who are brave enough can spend the night outdoors.
