Basic course (2 days)

is intended for all nature lovers who want to learn more about survival skills and try different techniques but do not want psycho-physical tests.

The foundation course is not physically demanding. It is intended for adults, but is also suitable for children from 8 years old when accompanied by a responsible person.
