Description

So that participants with limited experience with treehouses can increase their knowledge in advance, they are given basic information four weeks before the camp begins to look into at home. More important than the knowledge is the mental preparation for living in nature for a longer period of time, working with their body, and getting to know themselves in a new way

Methods

  • Meeting with Parents and Participants: Information and a packing list, meeting with discussion  
  • Parents: Q&A and explanation of safety standards
  • Participants: Getting to know each other and discussion about expectations, questions and fears

Download: Example of a packing list for participants

Impact

Through preparation we can ensure that the participants know what to expect, what to pack and minimize their fears. Parents get to know the team and learn to trust the program and workers.
