Trip description
The event is for adults and children (all ages), and consists of two parts: 1) a one-hour pre-meeting on a weekday evening during the same week as the tour itself. The information session is voluntary, where you have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge theoretically and discuss camping and being out on a hike with children of different ages. It is also an opportunity to meet the other participants and the leaders of the trip. 2) An afternoon hike and hang-out of three hours in the Grössjön nature reserve. The hike starts and ends at the Grössjön nature reserve's parking lot. For those who don’t have access to a car we will help with carpooling or other means of transportation. After a short hike, we make our way to the campsite where we offer dinner including dessert and snacks, all cooked over an open fire. In the twilight in the light of the headlamp, we discover the local area together and where the curious will be able to feel different tents in practice and see how cozy it can be. With the onset of darkness, we retreat to the parking lot and round off the Saturday evening.
So warmly welcome to an event where coziness, discovery and community on the children's terms are the focus! It is also a great opportunity to meet other Ume residents with children with similar interests!

Each individual child (18 years and younger) needs to have an adult/guardian on the trip with them. When signing up you automatically sign up both. The price, 350 kr, thus includes an adult and a child.
Children of all ages are welcome. We adapt the tour's activities as best we can according to the stated ages of the registered participants.
An information email is sent out after the last day of registration, with more information about the trip, the information meeting, as well as possible arrangements for carpooling and more.
