Packages for schools and groups

Ursus Adventures is a place where nature-based experiences for schools come together with mountain culture and deep knowledge of the local area.

Spending time outdoors enhances social skills. Removed from the traditional classroom environment, young people are encouraged to connect with themselves and others in a more empathetic and meaningful way.

Outdoor experiences in nature increase awareness of environmental respect, self-perception within the world, and the importance of physical and mental wellbeing.

Our experiences are designed as a relationship between people and the environment, where humans are not passive spectators but actively interact with the world around them.

Through a sensory and experiential approach, we aim to share values such as mutual respect, respect for the environment in which our outdoor activities take place, respect for diversity and the vulnerable, and commitment to human responsibility in caring for and managing the Earth and all its resources.

We also strive to help participants understand the ecological, sociological, and cultural principles of mountain communities, who have always worked to enhance their challenging environment through dedication, perseverance, and respect for natural limits.

Try one of our outdoor experiences specially designed for schools, groups, and anyone seeking a deeper connection with Nature.

An educational trip to Trentino offers students far more than a simple holiday: it is a complete learning experience that combines experiential education, personal development, and environmental awareness. Here are some of the educational benefits students can gain from participating in this journey:

1. Environmental Education and Sustainability

• Understanding ecosystems: Through trekking in the Stelvio National Park and bushcraft activities, students can closely explore flora, fauna, and delicate natural balances, learning the importance of biodiversity.
• Respect for the environment: Activities are designed to be eco-friendly, teaching students how to experience nature without damaging it and how to preserve it for future generations.
• Awareness of sustainability: Every experience encourages reflection on the importance of responsible resource management.

2. Development of Personal and Social Skills

• Teamwork and collaboration: Activities such as rafting, paintball, and adventure park courses require close cooperation, strengthening communication skills and a sense of belonging within the group.
• Problem-solving skills: Experiences such as bushcraft and adventure parks encourage students to solve practical problems and make quick decisions, improving their ability to handle unexpected situations.
• Emotional management: Activities such as via ferrata climbing or archery require focus and emotional control, helping students develop self-discipline and resilience.

3. Experiential Learning and Multidisciplinary Knowledge

• Natural sciences and geography: Through excursions and park activities, students learn to observe the environment, understand Alpine geological dynamics, climatic phenomena, and the ongoing impact of climate change.
• Physical education and body awareness: Physical activities improve body awareness, strengthen physical fitness, and build self-confidence. Experiences such as mountain biking and rafting also develop motor coordination.
• Local culture and traditions: Students can immerse themselves in Trentino culture, discover local traditions, and taste traditional cuisine. This promotes greater awareness of Italy’s cultural diversity.

4. Autonomy and Personal Responsibility

• Responsibility and time management: During the stay, students follow a structured activity schedule, respecting timings and participation guidelines. This helps them develop organizational skills and respect for commitments.
• Self-care and care for personal spaces: Staying away from home encourages students to manage their personal belongings and maintain order, increasing awareness of cleanliness and discipline.
• Social responsibility: Being part of a group in a natural environment teaches respect for others and the surrounding environment, promoting responsible behaviour both individually and collectively.

5. Ethical Values and Spirit of Adventure

• Building self-confidence: Facing and overcoming outdoor challenges inspires trust in one’s abilities and promotes a positive approach to difficulties.
• Adventure as personal growth: Every experience, from adventure parks to mountain biking, teaches students to see adventure not only as entertainment but also as a tool for personal growth and self-discovery.
• Respect for rules and discipline: Adventure activities require strict adherence to safety rules, teaching students that discipline is essential for collective wellbeing.
