ITINERARY

Day 1

AM: Trap Making

After getting to know each other with a round of introductions, we begin with a review of all the most important safety topics for outdoor activities. We review the survival priorities knowledge, and the safe way to use a knife and other tools.

We also talk about how to ensure we choose a safe place to set up camp, and how to do basic hazard assessments while in any outdoor environment. We assess how much survival knowledge the students have already, and in which areas they need to learn more. We review shelter construction skills such as useful knots and lashing techniques, and create a more advanced shelter than before, with a raised platform.

Lunch: Packed Lunch

PM: Advanced Fire Making

All kids should already have made lots of campfires before, so after reviewing fire safety, we take it to the next level, showing kids some fascinating alternative ways to make fires, suitable for various different conditions and survival scenarios.

We learn about ways of extracting water from the ground, from plants or by collecting it from a shelter roof. If still time left, we also design more advanced and creative types of traps.

上午:制作陷阱

在互相的介绍和了解之后,首先我们开始回顾所有的关于户外活动的重要准则。我们将会回顾有关野外生存的优先级的知识,以及安全使用刀具和其他工具的知识。

然后我们开始介绍在户外活动中,露营选择地点的考虑要素,以及如何做基本的自然危机评估。我们将根据孩子们的实际情况,评估孩子们野外生存技能上的强项和弱项。我们也会回顾庇护所的搭建以及绳结技巧,并利用提升机制,着手搭建一个更高级的庇护所。

午餐:由家长事先打包的餐盒。

下午:高级生火

所有的孩子应该都已经生过许多次营火了。在对用火安全进行回顾后,我们将开始为孩子们介绍各种奇妙的适用于不同场景和条件下的生火替代方案。

我们也会学习如何从土地里、植物里或者庇护所的顶盖上取水。若时间允许的话,我们会继续设计更多高级和富有创造力的陷阱。

Day 2

AM: Hiding & Tracking

 In some situations, going unseen and unheard is important for not getting caught. After discussion about camouflage and practising quiet movement techniques, kids create and wear camouflage face-paint and camouflage clothing, and test it out with a game of hide and seek in the forest. 

We also discuss tracking animals and humans, and use that knowledge to look for signs of where the other kids may be hiding.

Lunch: Packed lunch

PM: Advanced Raft-builiding

Kids have learnt to build one type of survival raft on camp before. Now it’s time to improve on the skills and learn a new design! No matter if it sinks or floats, it’s always fun to cool off in the river!  

上午:匿踪和追踪

在某些情况下,我们需要一定的在不被察觉的情况下活动的能力。在对迷彩的定义和用途进行一定的讨论,并练习无声移动的技术后,我们开始设计和使用迷彩脸部涂鸦以及迷彩装束,并通过在树林里进行捉迷藏来检验效果。

我们也会传授如何追踪动物和人类,并让孩子们用这些知识去寻找其他孩子们匿踪时留下的痕迹。

 

午餐:家长准备的打包餐盒。

下午:高级造筏

孩子们之前应该已经至少掌握一种造筏方法了。现在是时候学习一种新的造筏设计了!造筏不管顺利与否,在河里度过清凉的一个下午总是非常愉悦的。

Day 3

AM: Set Up Campsite in Baihe

With tons of old and new knowledge fresh in mind, the kids are prepped and ready to really put themselves up for a challenge. They embark on a journey to a new location – a remote river in the mountains of Miyun, with only tents, tools, a fire stone and enough food for three days. 

There is no accommodation, and they must make their way as a team from this spot to their extraction point many miles upstream by the last day, where they will find the Imagine bus waiting to take them home. 

We find a suitable location to set up tents and practise our hazard awareness skills to do an assessment of the weather, the river, the surrounding environment, and discuss safety precautions and our plan for how to complete the challenge as a team. 

Lunch: Packed Lunch

PM: Cave Exploration, Advanced Fire Cooking, Star Navigation

As we explore our surroundings, we go inside an exciting 800m long pitch black cave, experience total darkness and silence, spot bats, and look for an old hidden message. When back by our tents, kids must think about the new advanced fire skills they have learned, and think of the best way to create the fire in this exact situation in the current conidtions, without help. Then, they must also figure out how to cook dinner on their fire, using the food supplies and the equipment available, without  much help.  After hopefully getting full up, if the stars are out, we teach about using the stars for navigation, before going to sleep in tents by the river.

上午:在白河峡谷设立营地

带着大量新鲜的知识储备,孩子们已经完全为面前的挑战做足了准备。他们将带着有限的物资(帐篷,工具,火石和足量的水和食物)来探索我们全新的营地 — 一条位于密云群山之间的偏僻的河谷。

这个地方将不会有可以落脚的酒店设施,而他们需要团结起来向位于河谷上游数公里的出口行进。两天后他们将在这里登上Imagine的大巴并回家。

我们将会找到一处合适的地点用于扎营,同时练习我们对天气、河流、周边环境等进行评估的危机意识,并讨论安全措施,以及如何通力合作完成这次挑战。

午餐:家长准备的打包餐盒。

下午:探洞,高级野炊,星象导航

在我们探索周边环境的过程中,我们将走进一个800米长的漆黑洞穴,体验彻底的黑寂,观察蝙蝠,并寻找一些隐藏信息。

回到我们的营地以后,孩子们将运用这周学到的高级生火技巧,设法根据当下条件选择适当的方法生起营火。然后他们将使用提供的食材和工具,尽量独立的完成野炊。希望他们能填饱自己的肚子,然后若是天气晴好,在河边的帐篷内入睡之前,我们将教授如何利用星星的位置来辨认方向。

Day 4

AM: Signaling, Hiking, Navigation

We build on existing knowledge of signalling for rescue, and practise some more advanced knife techniques. Then we set off on a hike to explore what there is further upstream and try to figure out how far it might be to our extraction point. 

As we hike through beautiful scenery, we discuss more about navigation using the sun and learn to be observant and aware of the mountains and rivers as reference points.         

Lunch: Packed Lunch provided by Imagine

PM: River Crossing, Advanced Shelter

During the hike, we have to cross a river, and this is a fun and exciting challenge for the group. We discuss different techniques for river crossing, and the way to make a decision on which technique to use in different circumstances. 

After getting back to camp, we build an advanced shelter, ready to be used for sleeping in. Kids make their own fire again and cook another dinner, completely independently if they can! 

At night, most kids will sleep in tents, but anyone who really wants to challenge themselves may try sleeping in the shelter, for however long they feel comfortable. More stargazing if it’s a clear night!

上午:徒步,辨别方位

我们将学习如何发布求救信号,练习高级的用刀技术。然后我们将沿着河流上游方向进行探索。

当我们置身于壮丽的大自然中,我们也会谈到如何利用太阳的位置,以及对群山和河流的观察作为依据来辨别方位。

午餐:Imagine提供打包午餐

下午:渡河,高级庇护所

继续徒步的过程中,我们将进行一次渡河,这对孩子们来说又是一个有趣而兴奋的挑战。我们将列举各种不同的渡河方案,以及在选定方案时需要考虑的因素。

回到营地后,我们将搭建一个高级的可用于就寝的庇护所。孩子们将再次独立生起营火和野炊。

晚上,大部分孩子将睡在帐篷里,而那些乐于挑战自我的孩子也可以尝试在庇护所内入睡。如果天气晴好,仍然可以进行更多的观星活动。

 

Day 5

AM: Pack Up and Hike

It’s time to pack up the base camp and embark on the major hike to escape from the wilderness. First, as always, we Leave No Trace behind us. Then we put together all the knowledge and skills from the whole week, to navigate upstream, carrying all the supplies on our backs.

Along the way, kids will make decisions about which way to go and how to cross rivers. To get there in time, they will need to decide how long they rest and eat for. We discuss more about escape and rescue scenarios, and think about ways of signalling from the valley up to the mountain roads far away.

Lunch: Packed lunch provided by Imagine.

PM: Completion

By the time the kids reach the extraction point on the mountain road, they will have completed a truly epic adventure and will have a real sense of achievement. They may be exhausted, hungry, smelly and sweaty, but this is the feeling of getting through something that they may never normally do in a modern urban life.

We truly believe this experience will stay with them forever and make them stronger, more confident, more resilient, more knowledgeable and able to put things in perspective as they face any challenge in their future. 

上午:撤营和徒步

是时候收拾行装,撤离营地,踏上重返文明的征途了。首先,我们一如既往地彻底清理和还原营地,然后我们将运用本周学到的所有知识,带着所有补给向河流的上游进发。

午餐:

下午:尾声

当孩子们来到山路尽头的撤离点时,这意味着他们已经完成了一次史诗级的探险,并享受着真实的成就感。他们也许又累又渴,浑身汗臭,筋疲力竭,但这就应该是一场远离都市的冒险所应有的感觉。

我们坚信这次经历将永远被孩子们铭记,并帮助他们变得更坚定,更自信,更强韧,更有智慧,以及更加理智和客观地迎接未来的挑战。

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

If it is forecast to rain a little, we continue with everything as normal. Tents are waterproof so it’s ok to camp overnight in light rain. Rain actually adds more of a challenge, and we can teach a lot about how to deal with rain, stay dry, and dry things off around the fire, as well as how to make a fire when the wood is wet. This is actually an even more educational experience and will make the kids tougher!

However, if there is a big storm forecast or the rain is so heavy that it causes any safety hazards (or if AQI is high), we will change the itinerary around, having camping on the best days, and indoor days on the worst days. The indoor activities will most likely be at the Huairou location, but if there are major floods, we will choose an indoor location closer to Beijing. Indoor activities may include survival knowledge lessons, knots and tools exercises, making water filters, creating things from wood and other games.

We may also consider going indoor rock climbing or other activities if the weather is bad for many days. In any case, the camp will not be cancelled, and we encourage everyone to come along.

如果天气预报将有小雨,我们将照常进行活动。帐篷都将是防水的,所以在小雨中扎营是没问题的。我们反而会认为小雨可以为我们的活动提供更多的挑战性,我们也有机会去教如何在小雨中保持干燥,烘干物件,尤其是如何利用潮湿的木头生活。这将会是让孩子变得更强悍的经历。

但如果确实有雷暴或大雨(或雾霾)等灾害,我们将根据实际情况调整日程,在好天气的时候扎营,在坏天气的时候进行室内活动。室内活动大概率会在怀柔进行,但如果当地有洪灾,那么我们将在更靠近北京的地方择地安排。室内活动将涵盖野外生存知识、绳结和工具使用练习、制作滤水器、搭建模型等。

若是营期内大部分时间天气不好,我们也可能会进行室内攀岩。不管在任何情况下,活动都不会被取消,我们也希望大家能积极参与。

 If in doubt, we generally encourage kids to do Adventure Camp first and then do Survival Level 2 afterwards. However, as long as they remember most of their training and are generally comfortable in the forest getting dirty and challenging themselves, they may still sign up if they like. After all, 90% of survival is about determination and positive thinking!

如果有这方面顾虑的话,基本上我们会建议孩子们可以先参加一期冒险营,然后再参加生存营。但是,只要他们还具备一定的知识储备,以及喜欢在森林里摸爬滚打并挑战自我,那么我们仍然欢迎她/他报名。毕竟90%的野外生存都与决心和正念相关!

Yes if you like but it must be handed to the instructor at the very start and can only be used under direct supervision.

可以的,但必须在到营的第一时间交给我们的指导员代为保管,并只能在有监护的情况下使用。

Not yet, but this camp is already more challenging than the Level 2 course last year. If you already completed that one, this will have a lot of fresh and exciting new content!

暂时没有。但生存营已经比去年的二级训练更高级了。如果您之前参加过二级训练,那么这次活动仍然可以为您提供许多新鲜和令人振奋的新内容。

Days 1 and 2 have transport there and back each day. On day 3, transport takes them there, then they camp for two nights and have transport back on day 5. If there are any changes you will be notified.

只有第一天和第二天是每天往返的。从第三天开始,他们将进行持续3天2夜的露营之旅,然后在第五天乘大巴返回。如果计划有变,我们会第一时间通知您。

For days 1, 2 and 3 yes. For days 4 and 5 no, it is provided, but please bring a water bottle and bowl and fork for those days.

您需要准备第一、二、三天的打包午餐。第四和第五天将由我们提供午餐。但请务必在五天里为孩子都准备好水瓶和餐具。

Generally, no, as it distracts them and affects the natural/survival experience. Part of our mission is to get kids off these devices and more present in the real world. Also gadgets may get dirty, wet or broken.

However, if you have a special requirement e.g. you would like to hear from them during the overnight camping part, please enquire and we may be able to find a solution for that communication.

不推荐。这将会使他们分神而进一步影响这次体验。让孩子远离电子产品而更多地参与到真实世界中是我们使命的一部分。而且电子产品也许会被弄脏,浸水或者损坏。

不过,如果您有特殊的需要,比如您希望能与他们在露营过夜时取得联系,我们也许可以提供一些解决方案,欢迎您联系我们。

Imagine will offer tents for kids, but kids need to bring their own sleeping bag.

Imagine 会提供露营的帐篷,但小朋友需要自己准备睡袋。
