Survival of the fittest
In a world that is increasingly competitive, life skills are often an advantage. On this trip, young explorers will learn the basics of survival — knowledge of natural hazards, packing a survival kit, information on commonly seen plants in the wild and easy cooking. Sharing a common space with other kids will teach them about shared experiences.
