Family Adventure to the Carpathian Wilderness: Retune to the Wild and Experience Infinite Possibilities. 2019 Dates: May 25-June 1; July 20-27

Explore what is hailed as the last European wilderness for a week of adventure and learning. Stay on an organic, biodiversity farm www.cobor-farm.ro close to the Făgăraș mountains which lie at the southern end of the 1,000-mile long Carpathian range. The highest peaks of the country are located here, surrounded by some of Europe’s ecologically most valuable, unfragmented woodlands. The Carpathians are a refuge for Europe’s three big predators — the grey wolf, brown bear, and Eurasian lynx — as well as the continent’s most extensive old growth forests.

Learning

• Experience this inspirational conservation venture first hand. Visit the project area and learn about the vision of creating a huge national park (equal to its global counterparts such as Yellowstone, Kruger, the Serengeti and Torres del Paine) in what is widely recognised as Europe’s last pristine wilderness.
• Retune to the wild and no screens for children! Watch their creativity emerge.
• ‘Infinite Possibilities’ for Adults: voluntary participation in our daily ‘Be The Change’ empowerment sessions. Awaken to your role as a creative participant in a larger natural process and discover a new sense of empowerment and well-being. Emerge more joyful and energised to create positive change than ever before.
• ‘Infinite Possibilities: I Believe in Me!’ for Children (age 7and up): daily sessions designed to develop confidence and self-esteem. This fun, interactive programme teaches the importance of believing in yourself and following your dreams. Truly inspirational.
