Teen Adventure Camp Pindus

Price from €915

Overview

A 9-day adventure program in the heart of the Northern Pindus, where teenagers will experience an exciting journey combining hiking and e-biking, traversing mountains, forests, gorges, rivers, and alpine lakes.

Our starting point is the picturesque village of Kraniá in Grevena, and accommodation throughout the program has a strong outdoor focus: camping in mountain shelters, forest plateaus, a ski resort, and by a river, with nature serving as the field for activity, learning, and teamwork.

Within this unique setting, teenagers will climb peaks such as Flega, Avgo, and Vasilitsa, traverse sections of the E4 trail, visit crystal-clear lakes, ride e-bikes on mountain roads and through Pindus villages, explore gorges and rivers with natural swimming spots, and experience flying fox adventures. They will also develop teamwork, cooperation skills, and a sense of solidarity.

The program emphasizes adventure and connection with nature, while participants make new friends, develop skills, and function as a team throughout, sharing experiences and supporting one another.

Note: This program is quite active and demanding, suitable mainly for children who have previously participated in camping or outdoor programs. For first-time participants, we can discuss the best way to introduce them to this adventure.
