Activity description
Deep into Nature is an outdoor project where the participants learn more about survival skills, adventure education and nature in general. The aim is to help a farm in the middle of Germany and show the participants the different nature of Germany while having a team experience on canoes, hiking and visiting cultural places.Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Accommodation will be mostly in tents. Don't forget your sleeping bags and mattresses. Toilets and showers will be available nearby, and a kitchen will be at the camp. All aspects of collective life (shopping, preparing meals, cleaning) will be managed by the volunteers themselves, on the basis of an operation that they will have decided on together. Transport costs will be covered until a certain amount which you can find in the ESC distance calculator.Training during the activity
FIRST PART In the first two weeks of the project, we will help the farm with doing some constructions. In between we will have some wilderness tasks and survival classes. Other activities will be working with donkeys as well as rock climbing, visiting some ecologic farming, alternative community projects, castles and cities in the area. SECOND PART In the second part of our project, we plan to split the group for around 10 days and go for a canoeing trip. One group will paddle down the “Werra” river, while the other group goes down the “Fulda” river.Participant profile
