Guided by Nature, Strengthened by Brotherhood
The Young Explorers (Ages 7–13)
At Bosnian Outdoor Experience, we believe that the first connection with nature forms the foundation of character, curiosity, and respect.
The Young Explorers programme invites children to rediscover what it means to live close to the land — learning through play, exploration, and imagination.
From the first step into the forest to the evenings around the campfire, every moment is designed to awaken awareness, courage, and joy. Connecting with the creator through his creation.
Nature Awareness & Foraging
Children learn to identify safe edible plants, recognise animal tracks, and understand the rhythm of the wild — guided by experienced instructors.
Skills and activities
Fire-Making & Shelter Building
The heart of survival and teamwork. Young participants learn to start a fire safely, build a simple shelter, and understand how you can use nature to provide warmth and protection.
Knots, Navigation & Team Challenges
Through interactive games and challenges, they develop practical skills — map reading, knot tying, and compass orientation — all disguised as adventure.
Horse Riding
Each participant experiences the joy of connecting with one of nature’s most noble creatures. Riding at Malek Farm teaches balance, patience, and gentle communication.
Creative Crafting
Working with natural materials, children make simple forest tools, wooden pendants, spoons or clay art — souvenirs of their own discovery which builds confidence.
The Campfire Circle
As evening falls, stories come alive. Around the fire, instructors share tales of courage, compassion, ethics, leadership and adventure. The Campfire Circle is a sacred space for laughter, learning, and reflection — where family and friendly bonds grow stronger.
It’s a moment of stillness in a noisy world — where every child feels seen, valued, and inspired.

Foraging plants, berries, mushrooms is an essential skill to be able to survive and determine species, both edible and poisonous in the wild. Clean, cut, prepare and preserve the things you earned in the wild in a safe hygienic way to enjoy them. Bow and arrow shooting is not the easiest way to hunt, the advantage is however that a bow and arrow are always around in the forest where we can practice this.
Shelter making and tarp setting
One of the most important things in the wild are to be able to make a safe and warm spot to rest, sleep and eat. Shelter can be made from wood branches, leaves and stems.

Slaughtering
In every day life a lot of things are being done by others. In the wild to really feed yourself you need to be able to take the life of an animal to survive and thrive. It can be hard at first, with respect and due diligence we take the life of an animal by way of knife slaughtering. After this we will remove the skin, clean and debone the animal by hand in a hygienic way and prepare for a well deserved dinner at the fire place. You will experience and learn a life changing skill.
