How it works

Start the day with a hike along the river. Today, you’ll be real scientists! With a magnifying glass, you can examine animals, plants, and stones more closely. Who will discover the strangest animal and who will find the shiniest stone?
Now it gets really exciting! Who among you can throw a stone so that it skips across the water? Find smooth, flat stones and give it a try! But remember to be careful and not hit anyone with the stones.
Who among you is the next great artist? Collect leaves, stones, and twigs and let your creativity flow. Create your own artwork right here in nature!
After all the adventures, it’s time for a break. Enjoy your packed picnic and relax.
Make up stories about the river and its inhabitants. Isn’t this the perfect place for a story about an adventure?
Look for sticks, leaves, and bark to build your own little riverboats. But remember: we only take what’s already on the ground and don’t disturb any living plants. Once your boats are ready, you can have a race. Who among you is the fastest captain?
Before you head home, complete one last very important task. Make sure you leave no trash behind. Then go home with a big smile and keep this day in your hearts. Until the next adventure, you wonderful explorers!
