Immerse yourself in a micro-adventure that combines learning about sustainability, collaboration with peers, nature experiences, and cooperation with local stakeholders. In doing so, you will develop the skills you need to contribute to a regenerative future.
To ensure you are well prepared and can approach your adventure with joy and ease, we have put together a packing list (see below) for you.
Tip: If you are missing something on the list, you can likely ask friends or acquaintances to lend you the items you need. One important note: Even though we will be spending one night outdoors, you do not need a tent – please refer to the packing list (see below).
