If you wish your child obtained
 

qualities of a real leader, learned to overcome own fears and barriers, discovered internal reserves for development, and practiced collaboration skills, then this is the appropriate Program.

Participants of our programs become more confident, discover unknown sides of their inner world, become more independent. Meanwhile they explore new, European territories, in literal and figurative sense of the word - they are surrounded by a different environment, enter into an atmosphere of collaboration and cohesion.

 
 

It is a journey into new self and surrounding world.

Although we use a wide variety of forms, our programs are not a sport, neither rock climbing, not a mountaineering tourism, not a survival, neither club of debates, painting or meditation, but a multilateral development of internal core and preparation for a 'big journey'
