During the Nature School week, kids will enjoy an unforgettable experience!
They’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how our outdoor base works, learning to care for their equipment, read maps for excursions, and understand the history of the places they explore. Through activities like kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), snorkeling, coasteering, and orienteering, they’ll gain the confidence and skills to explore their natural surroundings.
They’ll also learn to recognize local marine and terrestrial flora and fauna—and most importantly, to respect nature and all its inhabitants.
Children actively take part in citizen science activities and monitoring protocols aimed at protecting and studying the local ecosystem.
In this way, they become real contributors to scientific data collection!
Each week is packed with outdoor sports and nature-based experiences.
Throughout the summer, the program covers a variety of topics in biology and environmental education.
