Adventures in the Woodland

Entries are open
Summer special! One week of adventures with tours, discovery games, naturalistic didactics, knowledge of the territory and points of interest of La Mandria Park, reserved to children and kids from 6 to 14 years of age.

• Activities: discovery games, tours, environmental education activities "La notte è piccola" (optional) night tour, on Thursday 30th June and Thursday 7th July at 8.00 p.m. - 11.00 p.m. with possibility to stay from 5.00 p.m. and have dinner in the Park.
• Timetable: from 8.30 a.m. to 5.00 p.m., from Monday to Friday (8.30 a.m. - 9.00 a.m. welcome, at 12.30 p.m. lunch, at 4.30 p.m. snack)
• Meeting point: on the first day, entrance Ponte Verde, then at the Park Visitor Centers (Ciabòt delle Guardie, at Borgo Castello or Cascina Brero), according to the instructions given by the Park Tour Guides.
• Meals: lunch organized by the Holiday Farm "L'isola che non c'è", local agricultural holding offering a vegetarian cuisine, tasty, healthy, and natural, with dishes prepared according to traditional recipes and based on products that are mainly cultivated in the holding. This kind of diet gives us the opportunity to deal with an important issue linked to environmental education: the sustainability of our life style and of our diet, the consumption of season products coming from the surroundings and a lower consumption of meat.

• Staff: children/kids will be followed during the whole duration of the initiative by the Park Tour Guides in collaboration with the staff of the Park Authority, with at least one Tour Guide every 15 participants.

Avoid any kind of open shoes. Adequate insect-repellent products. For the first day, bring a complete spare set of clothes, towel, and bathing suit to keep in the Park for the whole week in case of emergencies.
