The expert's opinion

The Crash course is challenging. It can be undertaken by beginners who are motivated and aware of the demanding nature of the experience! You will have very little (if any) comfort, and you will have to improvise: be prepared!

Note

An immersive survival scenario 1 hour from Paris

You were supposed to be going away for a simple weekend… but everything changes. A fictional crash in the middle of the forest. No cell service. No plan. Just you, your teammates, and your instincts.

Welcome to The Crash , a 2-day, 1-night survival course designed as a realistic, intense, and accessible adventure. Off the beaten path, this scenario immerses you in a simulated emergency situation to teach you how to survive effectively and practically.

Objectives of the survival course

  1. Learn the basics of survival: fire, shelter, water filtration, orientation... in degraded conditions and in a more immersive environment.
  2. Experience an adventure in the great outdoors without modern comforts
  3. Strengthening confidence, teamwork, and adaptability
  4. Testing one's ability to implement survival techniques in a more "realistic" and less academic context than an essential survival course
