We are a community that looks like our creators, motivated and based on volunteerism, where, in addition to strong experiential pedagogic expertise, there is a lot of warmth, gentleness, acceptance and good energy. For more than 25 years, we have been taking people to different natural environments to help them discover their own abilities, resources and potential. Experiential pedagogy and adventure education is an important work method and approach for all of us, and we believe that what we do has real meaning in our society. We speak for self-discovery, connection with nature and working together, and our mission is to change the lives of individuals through challenges and experiences. Our mission is bold and ambitious; we want to create a world around us that is even more compassionate.
In addition to our core team, our community consists of professionals from various fields who are interested in experiential pedagogy and experiential learning, whom you can meet as trainers or instructors on our courses and excursions.
