Try yourself. Family backpacking trip to Orekhovo (Leningrad region)

4 more

The best way to spend a weekend with the whole family is to go camping for the weekend!

The child has grown up, and you want something more from a weekend hike? Tired of the comfort of a country vacation, and do you dream of plunging into real adventures at least for a moment? We have been planning to go to the "week pawn" with the whole family for a long time, but are there any doubts? Then this hike is for you!

We invite you to a mini-version of this hike with "transitions under a backpack", overnight in a tent and eating at a campfire. Our best instructors will guide adventurers along forest trails past mysterious rocks, refreshing and inviting lakes. We will cross a stream or a small ravine together, because it is so important to feel these small victories!

Itinerary

Day 1 - The road to the camp, the search for treasure, evening gatherings around the campfire
We will meet early in the morning at the Finlandsky train station in the center of the hall. We get acquainted with the instructors and the group, buy tickets to Orekhovo, do not be late for the train and hit the road.
On the way, we play different games, chat, repack our backpacks, distribute modules and enjoy the train ride. Upon arrival at the station, we recalculate, look at the map and hit the road!
On the way, we make small stops, check the map, have a snack. We will walk about 7-10 km, make lunch and set up a tent camp on the shore of a picturesque lake.
After that, we will go in search of the buried treasure according to the tips and the map that the previous group left us!
In the evening, we will have a delicious dinner, compote, sincere conversations of people close in spirit, campfire songs, legends, a fairy tale and all-consuming dreams.
Day 2 - Charging, studying maps and creating your own, collecting camps
The morning begins with a cheerful wake-up call by the attendants. Before a delicious breakfast, we will have a vigorous exercise (and maybe even water treatments).
After breakfast, we learn how to knit knots, learn the basics of survival in the forest, and try to make a fire without a single match.
We analyze and study the main elements of the maps, draw our own. We prepare a message for the next group and bury it by making notes on our map.
Together with the children, we prepare a delicious lunch under the strict guidance of an instructor.
It's time to pack a camp, pack a backpack, using new knowledge on weight distribution behind your back.
The way back awaits us. Halts, snacks, games, stories, forest trail. We plunged into the world of a real hiking trip!
Tired but very happy, we hug and say goodbye to the band! Who is by car, who is by train…
See you on the forest trails, we will definitely see you again!
