I have never tried indoor climbing before. At first, it wasn’t easy, but my goal was to reach the top. With determination and courage, I made it.

The kayaking day was for sure the most powerful learning moment. I had never done that, and I think I would never have even dared to do it, but it turned out it wasn’t that hard. I learned that I can do more than I would give myself credit for.

Working with a map was the best experience of this BIP project. I often go hiking in the mountains, but I had never used a map before. It was a great opportunity to see how it works. One day, this skill might come in handy in the mountains.

It was probably the best BIP I have ever attended. All the activities matched my interests, and experiencing them with a great group of people made it truly amazing.
For me, the biggest challenge was probably the climbing wall, as I am not a fan of height-related activities. However, it was a great opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, especially the jump from the top on a rope, and I am very happy that I tried it.
Jakub Nowakowski, AWF Wrocław, Poland
I loved all the activities, meeting new people, and spending time together. The food was also really good! I’m going to miss it all. The program was quite intense, but in a positive way. One of my most powerful learning moments was the orienteering race. I was surprised by how well I did, and it made me realize that I can stay calm, think quickly, and make good decisions even under pressure. Overall, it was a great experience that gave me many new memories, friendships, and valuable knowledge. I’m very grateful to have been part of it.

I really enjoyed the whole experience and would definitely do it again. We had an amazing group, and I am very grateful for the opportunity to take part in this program. I met many great people, made new friendships, and even discussed possible future projects. The whole BIP exceeded my expectations, including the food, which was surprisingly good.
