What is included in the program “With a backpack, map and a compass”?
The program is a combination of:
- hikes, appropriate for the children’s capabilities;
- outdoor and indoor games at the kids’ club “PlayHouse”;
- mountaineering activities;
- sport climbing;
- diverse art and science workshops/ excursions to interesting near-by destinations;
Each week the theme will be different, and the activities throughout will be devoted to the specific theme. From this year, we are happy to include a special “Time for me” – 60 minutes, during which each child could dive in his or her favourite hobby – reading a book, listening to music, storytelling and other quiet games and activities.
The children will also have a “Week’s Project”, which they would have to work on and develop during the week, and present it on Friday. Twice a week, there will be organized workshops devoted to the week’s theme and/or an excursion to a nearby destination. The specific program for each week will be announced up to 5 days before the starting date, while the organizers retain their right to make changes due to unfavourable weather conditions.
