In the afternoon there is a guided walk in the mountains and by early evening we’ll gather to tell stories around the campfire with adventure tales for all ages.

ProActive Adventure will provide bushcraft and archery sessions onsite in the afternoon free of charge, followed by storytelling around the campfire as it gets dark, including explorer Vijay Shah (see below).

Vijay Shah will be talking about his encounter with a polar bear cub and reuniting it with its mother.

Vijay Shah is an explorer, filmmaker and aerospace engineer. Vijay’s desire to explore has led him to some of the furthest corners of the globe.

He has spent over 3 years on expedition across the world, solo climbed several high altitude mountains and opened up a new route in the arctic, traversing the remote Penny Ice Cap on Arctic Canada’s Baffin Island facing temperatures down to -60C, where his team had a close encounter with a family of polar bears.

He was invited to attend the largest human gathering that has ever occurred, meditated for 10-days in silence in the Himalayas and lived for a month with an Indigenous Andean community in the Ecuadorian Andes.
