Explore & Travel Safely
We run camps and activities throughout the year that go beyond the typical sports camp that many other organizations offer. We believe in the tremendous opportunities for personal development that travel and exploration create, experiences that can only be achieved through a well-organized and structured environment where safety comes first without removing space for discovery and adventure.
Self-discovery
Our club offers a chance to set aside the competitive demands of school life. To slow down, open up and explore. And in doing so, discover who you are. Our members often say they feel more alive, connected, and more themselves at our many camps and activities.
Our social aspect
Instead of competition, we value enthusiastic cooperation, friendly communication and playful participation. The camp's positive community creates a magic where participants feel safe, supported, and valued. We help create lasting friendships and relationships.
A pedagogical approach to entertainment
Nowadays, soft skills are needed like never before. We are creating a learning program that fills the void that schools are unable to teach. It is the process of using focus and self-control to solve problems and set and follow goals. It uses other important life skills such as liaison, perspective-taking, and communication. Basically, critical thinking helps us make good, informed decisions.
