My order was for a Bushcraft course without hiking, with a 12-year-old child. Upon arrival, it turned out to be a Survival course, with a nearly 4-hour hike :( The same thing happened to another group. Fortunately, the provider from *** did what was necessary to balance things out with kindness and a pedagogical approach.

I was very satisfied with my weekend. I learned a lot, more than I expected. The topics covered were numerous, and the workshops provided a good understanding of certain issues. The small group size allowed for detailed discussions with the instructor. He was an excellent instructor—interesting and attentive.
