An outdoor adventure programme: a day hike, an adventure birthday party, or a 2–7-day camping trip with activities designed around the group's interests and age.

The main season for outdoor programmes is March to October, depending on weather conditions and the activities planned.

The location depends on the season and programme: the scenic Ili River near Tamgaly Tas, our Turgen camp, or the mountains around Almaty.

 How is it organised?

We provide the infrastructure, equipment and services needed for children's outdoor programmes:

- Tent accommodation, from comfortable camp facilities to trekking tents and expedition equipment, including sleeping mats and warm sleeping bags.
- Outdoor catering: dining and kitchen tents, marquees, tables, chairs, kitchen equipment, tableware and freshly prepared meals.
- Camp facilities: toilets, washing stations, lighting, electricity and designated campfire areas.
- Transport: minivans or buses, depending on group size.
- Safety first: experienced guides and instructors, first-aid kits, navigation and communication equipment, and transport arrangements appropriate to the programme.
- Special equipment for outdoor games and climbing: GPS devices, maps, compasses and walkie-talkies for orienteering; ropes and shelter materials for survival games; helmets, harnesses and carabiners for climbing and rope activities; archery equipment, metal detectors and more.

See our Equipment & Resources for a broader overview of our camping infrastructure, trekking gear and outdoor activity equipment.

Every programme is tailored to the group. It can be an adventure birthday party, a day of outdoor games, or a 2–7-day camping experience for a school class or other organised group. Our experience also includes outdoor programmes for school groups.

Some of the most popular activities include:

- Orienteering games and quests using maps, compasses, photo challenges, GPS devices and walkie-talkies.
- Rock climbing and rope activities, including rope courses, slacklining and zip lines.
- Treasure hunts with metal detectors and outdoor obstacle courses.
- Trekking and hiking in the mountains and steppe.
- Survival games: building shelters and cooking outdoors.
- Archery with equipment suitable for children.
- And, of course, evenings around the campfire with marshmallows!

 Who we are

We are a team of professional guides and instructors who genuinely enjoy outdoor life. Children's adventure programmes have been an important part of our work for many years.

Since 2007, our team has organised scout camps in Turgen, Tamgaly Tas and Medeo, as well as outdoor programmes for international and local schools, children's festivals and other group activities.

We find that ages 6–16 are particularly well suited to this kind of active outdoor experience. Safety and individual attention are central to our approach. The number of instructors is determined by the children's ages, group size and the complexity of the activities.

Our team's professional qualifications, training certificates and recommendations from partner organisations are presented in our Awards & Recognition section.
