Nature detective camp of the Family Hotels South Tyrol

Discovering nature

Are you a nature detective?

Did you know? ...

...how an ant looks under a magnifying glass?
...how milk is turned into cheese?
...why bats do not bump into the things around them?
...how to distinguish poisonous from edible berries?

No? But would you like to know the answers?
Then you can look forward to your holidays at the South Tyrolean family hotel Adlernest in Val Senales. Here you can be trained to become a real nature detective with certificate.

However, you must meet the following three requirements:
You need to be between 6 and 12 years old, you should love adventures, and be curious...
Sounds like you? Great. Let's go.

On three theme days you will go on an expedition with Fini to discover one special topic per day:

"Wildlife and water"* during an entire day; only for little researchers and adventurers; life and survival in the natural environment: during your nature detective training, you will get to know life in the forest. "How does an ant or a water beetle look under a magnifying glass?" "How to build a save cave in the forest?" "Which plants can I eat and which ones should I leave?" You will get surprising answers to these questions. Moreover, you will discover the forest as a magical place: You will see the forest as a fairytale scenario and you may shape your own tree ghost. We will have an outdoor snack together to regain energy. After that, you will learn how to build a water wheel and to steer a boat to feel the force of water.
"Nocturnal activities"*One evening for little and big night owls. Nature at night: together with your family, you can get an insight into nocturnal wildlife. "Which animals are active at night - and why?", "How do bats hunt their prey?" "And how do they communicate with each other?" These and many other questions will here be answered in an entertaining way. Late at night, there will be a special highlight: fairytailes and South Tyrolean legends under the starry sky.
"Edible nature"* half a day for animal lovers of any age. We will visit cow & Co.: at a South Tyrolean farm, you and your family can watch cows, pigs and chickens "at work". You will get answers to questions like "Where does your boiled egg come from?", "How does fresh milk turn into yoghurt?" or "What's pigs' favourite food?" After that, you can try home-made products such as bacon and cheese.

We look forward to seeing you!

Very important: a real nature detective is always well equipped, i.e. with robust shoes, backpack, sun protection, cap, rain cape, warm clothes, a snack, something to drink. Anything else will be provided by your nature detective camp coach.

Costs: 25,00 € for the first child, 20,00 € for the second and more children
