Since I will be busy with my regular, online work, I will mostly act as the administrator, but would like to visit every afternoon to teach my skills and knowledge to the youngsters. This will be a perfect opportunity to bring our son, who is always starving for interaction with others.
For this reason there will be hired help teaching the various skills according to the curriculum and who live there on a permanent basis.
Some of the skills could include:
- everything will be taught in the English language, quality level, with an available translator if needed;
- survival skills, such as how to tie various knots, start a fire with only sticks, set up shelter using nature alone, catch wild animals;
- permaculture principles, such as aquaponics and how to efficiently grow vegetables;
- music, how to play on different musical instruments;
- archery;
- how to cook;
- how to calculate simple and more complicated math in one’s head;
- other (open to all suggestions).
Of course there will be all sorts of fun and games, story telling around the campfire at night and all sorts of fun.
Scheduling
The plan is to organize this based on demand. If a group of parents prefer to have a one week session at a certain date, we can organize that. Can be two weeks, a month or longer, all based on your requests.
I’ll work on these webpages over time to make things more clear and easier to submit your schedule requests, so that together we can work out an overall schedule. In the meantime you can communicate your requests through our homepage.
Between sessions there can be a few days break to give the staff some rest.
Accommodation
We plan to build bamboo huts but in the beginning we may require you to bring your own tents.
