PROJECTO ALAYA
ALAYA is a camp where young people, boys and girls from the age of 8 to 18, can experience new adventures, discovering and enriching their lives in direct contact with nature, with themselves and with others. It is an opportunity to actively learn and enjoy their stay by taking river and mountain expeditions, participating in incredible games, artistic activities and oriental arts such as Taijiquan and Qi Gong.
What is a stay at Alaya like?
LEARNING THROUGH EXPERIENCE – By which children and teenagers will be able to create their own knowledge by observing, listening, experiencing and analyzing in order to ground their own learning process.
ENJOYING – Alaya Camp is designed so you may enjoy every moment. You will be able to live through incredible experiences in a wonderful place, joyfully sharing with a remarkable group of people and getting to know new friends. All these activities will create life-long bonds among all participants
BEING ONE WITH THE ENVIROMENT – Through extraordinary adventures, children and teenagers will experience the wonders of nature, getting to understand step by step how different ecosystems work, and learning about incredible life forms, their dynamics and the perfect balance present in nature. They will learn to value Earth’s generosity towards human beings and how to reciprocate it, playing in harmony with their surroundings.
ARTS OF LIFE - Qi gong and Tai chi chuan are Chinese arts for internal development perfected by great Shaolin masters from the past, kept in secret until recently and now within reach. We offer at Alaya the opportunity to learn these arts from genuine Wahnam Shaolin School teachers. These arts will help participants to harmoniously develop their bodies, minds and spirit. Their practice will generate vitality, mental clarity and joy in them.
