Project for schools and learning
Donation protected
The Czech Republic, our home and where we want to begin the journey of changing the way we educate.
We aim to build an education activity centre in the forests of Sumava in the Czech Republic: a place for schools to come on trips and experience wonderful natural surroundings and learn about the environment and their connection to it.
We also would to cater for eco-tourism, offering lots of adventure activities right on our doorstep.
How we started
Miska, Brian & Joe are friends, and we have worked together for some years. We are passionate about our dream which is to do with Outdoor, Experiential Education.
We want to educate the next generation of students and tourists about the impact we are having on the environment.
The company we have started is 3EOutdoors: www.3eoutdoors.com
It is a company for schools, corporations and tourists.
We believe an experience is necessarily multi-sensory: it is visceral, active and sometimes uncomfortable. This creates a ripe environment for growth and change. This requires active, engaged participants rather than passive observers. This is why we invite you not merely to meet the experience, but to embrace it.
We need to look after the environment we live in and not lose touch with it either. While promoting an active and healthy lifestyle people should also be enjoying it and learn through recreation.
For guests and tourists we are a travel company that offers a sustainable and adventurous look at the Czech Republic. Rafting, Climbing, Hiking, Culture and Biking are just some of what we offer from our location in the Summer.
Our Idea
Our aim is to build an Eco-Lodge/ Centre, where these activities are based and where guests, schools and you can stay.
We would mainly cater for school trips, but during the holidays it would run like a hotel and be an affordable, desirable accommodation for guests. Set in the beautiful countryside and forests with adventure or relaxation just outside your door.
For schools many of their trips are at hotels for outdoor education, not somewhere built with the purpose for practising the teachings that one learns. We want to change that to give them an experience that will shape their lives and from which they can benefit.
This would truly be in nature, made of nature, a part of it, rather than apart from it.
This a picture from Rob Roy's Cordwood Building that we're using as inspiration for some design ideas for the site.
Where we stand
We have saved money for the project and company already, but for such a big project we need some help to make the dream happen so it can be enjoyed by everyone.
We aim to start trips in August this year using pensions and guesthouses for our clients. With this help we can be sustainable and have our own home to run and offer such wonderful trips and excursions.
How the money will be used
As you can imagine with a large project lots of different factors need to be accounted for:
-Finding the perfect location out of the options we have for the build.
-Helping us purchase the land for the building site of 3EOutdoors and obtaining the required licenses for the building codes on the land.
-Paying for materials needed for construction and foundations.
-Purchasing the timber for the supports and frames of the buildings.
-Purchasing the equipment needed for the build (cement, sawdust, insulation, tools).
-Marketing our company, product and the centre so we can continue to live in it and use it.
Finally
We want to share this with everyone, everywhere for future generations. This would be just the beginning of a large project we have to protect and give back to nature.
Check out the rewards section on the page to see what your donations can provide for you.
We would just like to say a huge, massive and sincere “Thank You” from the bottom of our hearts for everyone’s support so far, from family, friends and people who soon will be friends.
