Whether you’re jumping off a canyon ledge or navigating ancient streets on a Segway, you’re doing it alongside a new international family. It’s a 12-day rush of adrenaline, discovery, and growth that will change the way you see the world—and yourself!

Dreamscapes & Growth

Hike to Kozjak & Leveling Up We’re trekking through scenery that looks like a movie set. A 3-hour hike brings us to the stunning Kozjak Waterfalls, hidden away in a limestone cavern.

Rapid Fire

River Rafting & Campfire Vibes Slovenia’s rivers are world-famous for a reason. We’re hitting the rapids for a fast-paced Rafting session that will test our teamwork and keep us soaked! As the sun sets, we’ll swap the life jackets for hoodies and gather around a Campfire to share stories and make memories that last a lifetime.

The Underground Frontier

Day 06 – 15 Aug 2026

Caving & The Triple-Country View We’re going deep into the earth to explore mysterious caverns. The grand finale? An epic 40-foot abseil (rappel) from a mountain opening back to the forest floor. From this height, you can actually see Italy, Austria, and Slovenia all at once. Talk about a peak experience!

Lake Bled

Day 07 – 16 Aug 2026

The Magic of Lake Bled Imagine a glacier-blue lake with a tiny island in the middle and a medieval castle perched on a cliff. That’s Bled. We’ll explore the historic Bled Castle, take a traditional boat to Bled Island, and ring the "wishing bell." It’s a day of stunning views, legendary history, and maybe a slice of that famous cream cake!

Mines & Heights
