Treat yourself to a weekend getaway in the great outdoors. Whether you’re traveling alone or with your family (children ages 8 and up, accompanied by a parent), pack your gear and set off on an adventure!
Camping & Survival in the Périgord
Duration: 2 days / 1 night - Ages 8 and up - No specific physical fitness required
The goal is twofold: to learn real-world survival techniques in a fun and safe way, while enjoying the moment with minimal comforts. The program is tailored for beginners or those less adventurous, offering an immersive and emotionally enriching experience in a natural, wild setting during a “Robinson Crusoe”-style weekend.
Your guide: You’ll be accompanied by Denis Tribaudeau or a member of his team. All team members are passionate about survival and nature! So you’re in excellent hands!
You’ll learn:
- How to find food and water: foraging for edible plants, observing the natural environment, finding water, and preparing meals over a wood fire.
- Shelter: building a shelter, starting a fire without a lighter (a reminder of current regulations; if there’s no ban, we’ll build a small campfire).
- Navigation: using a map and compass, by the sun, topography, and orienteering
- Introduction to first aid
An experience to enjoy over a weekend away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
