This summer, with 10 of the youth from both Domnesti and Panatau
We went on a special adventure backpacking trip in Transylvania
Taking a lunch break on the road to Sovata
Outside of Castle Bran "Dracula's Castle"
Castle Rasnov was on the way to the camping
View from the castle
Mircea from the top of the fort
Playing in the stockades at the castle
Somehow I knew they would love it
At least a half hour they spent posing with this
Trying out archery in the medieval castle
Timea drawing a bow
The expedition was hosted by Outward Bound, an outdoor adeventure education prog
We constructed our own tents one night
A tree split by lightning
George in the forest
Soaking wet after a big water fight on a hot day
Catalin - ready to go!
Magdalena crossing the river
Getting on safety gear
A blindfolded iniation game
There were also many problem solving exercises
This was one they solved
The second night we slept in a cave -a wild animal also has his cave nearby
Hiking for 3 days in the wilderness - one night we slept in a cave
Home on the horizon here
The high ropes obstacle course
Crossing high suspended beams by supporting each other
Overcoming many fears and gaining confidence
Learning teamwork, mutual support
Taking care of each other's safety
Cooperation
Encouraging each other -Magdalena was too scared to do it at first
Coming down by rope
