Make a fire with pieces of wood or stones, build a shelter, make a knife by cutting flint, recognize edible wild plants, weave rope or weave a basket from the fibers that can be found in nature , making traps and fishing... It's a real apprenticeship in the techniques of life in autonomy in nature that the Animal Park of Sainte-Croix, in the Meuse, is offering for the first time this summer.
Organized for small groups (15 to 20 people maximum) immersed in totally preserved nature, the courses will be supervised by Kim Pasche, specialist in primitive life techniques and trapper in Canada, and Teddy Moncuit, globetrotter and wildlife photographer. No need to have done Koh Lanta or know how to find your bearings with the stars to participate, but decommissioning your mobile phone (during the day) is strongly recommended! And if you hear wolves at night, you're not dreaming, the camp is only a few hundred meters from the park's wolf packs...
Let's get started!
Three stays to choose from, from 1 to 3 nights, full board (part of the food comes from the harvest made by the trainees!):
-“The arts of wildlife”, €595 for a 4-day/3-night stay, from Tuesday July 21 to Friday July 24.
-"The art of ancestral fire", €310 for a 2-day/1-night stay, from Saturday 25 to Sunday 26 July.
-"In trapper mode", €450 for a 3-day/2-night stay, from Tuesday July 28 to Wednesday July 30.
Reservations by phone at 03 87 03 92 05 or by email, [email protected]
Does the experience (still) scare you a little? You can also sleep among the wolves in complete safety in comfortable accommodation (we tested!).
