This is not an ordinary accommodation offer on Slowhop, so stop and read carefully...

If you came to us looking for an adventure, this is the right address. For 8 years, we have been organizing Family Adventure Camps in the wildest corner of Masuria, in our own scout country. The idea is simple: take the children and show them how to spend time completely immersed in nature, with simple tasks, without everyday comforts and distractions, but with values and skills that are difficult to obtain in city life.

There's no reception here, so no phones. The food is vegetarian, but you cook if it's your watch. You sleep in a tipi, as a family, and it's a strong, good sleep in the cleanest air in Poland. We go to bed when it gets dark because there is no electricity and it's worth getting enough sleep because the next day...

...crossing swamps, learning how to throw an ax at a target, walking with sled dogs, cooking together, learning how to use a knife, visiting a home apiary, daily drinking and bathing in a pond, but above all: getting to know nature and learning respect and coexistence.

Driving plan for 2024:
June 23-30 – FATHERS AND SONS CAMP
June 30 - July 7 - FAMILY CAMP
August 4-11 – FAMILY CAMP

Groups and dates of 7-day holiday stays:
June 23 - 30 - FATHERS AND SONS CAMP
June 30–July 7 – FAMILY CAMP
August 4–11 – FAMILY CAMP

Important: You don't come here for a comfortable overnight stay, but for an amazing adventure.
Each family lives in an Indian tipi in the open-air museum of Yukon trappers' huts. In the tipi we sleep on military mattresses. You must bring your own sleeping bags. On cooler evenings you can light a fire in the tipi.

Toilets are comfortable Finnish "privies", bathing is an open-air shower in a forest toilet, near the camp.

We do not invest in luxury and standard. We are part of nature and we are returning to old, proven solutions. If you want to experience an adventure in an authentic, healthy place based on old rural customs and work - welcome to Republika Ściborska! It won't be easy, but it will be worthwhile!

We have prepared at your disposal:
- Polar, mush, Indian and Maria Rodziewiczówna museum,
- open-air museum of trapper's huts,
- Cottage from the Borecka Forest,
- historic active apiary from 1935,
- ecological garden (our land has not been fertilized with chemicals for over 30 years, we cultivate a healthy lifestyle),
- permanent residence in the vicinity of wildlife in the Skaliskie Forest (including moose, deer, wolves, lynxes, eagles. A herd of Polish horses, beavers, cranes, storks, and about 40 sled dogs live in our area

We will prepare meals together with the guests in the cook's cottage, we take water from a well established in 1784 (the best in the area). We cook vegetarian, in family teams, mainly from local ingredients.

What will happen:

- there will be the best activities from recent years (including the wild river, Rysie Bagno, etc.) and we have prepared new adventures: including: trapper's overnight stay in the forest, dog trekking, replica of a trapper's hut and more.

- classes with Running Wolf sled dogs (cani cross, natural dog therapy) are waiting for you. Each family will receive a new friend for the entire stay - a sled dog.

- get ready for non-standard sports activities (unusual sports and competitions) and hardening (bathing and black tub), trapper obstacle course,

- we go on field trips (mountainous terrain, unusual swamps, wild river, one night in the forest),

- there will also be Indian, Eskimo, survival, educational and trapper classes,

- practice of life in the Indian and trapper style (learning to use a knife, an ax, a saw, collecting herbs and mushrooms, working with horses, trapper cooking),

- activities and work at the camp, lots of time for intuitive games.

There is everything for children here, although not in the urban sense, but more in Swedish or Finnish terms. We treat children as smaller adults.
