ACTIVE HOLIDAYS AND TOURS FOR YOUNGSTERS

SURVIVAL TOUR IN HUNGARY

Participants we are looking for:
Young people (18-35) in manual wheelchair who are active, sporty, greatly self-supporting in everyday life and feel like participating in a survival tour which is quite a physical overstrain for everyone. Besides common programs all the participants have to lend a hand in cooking, washing up and setting up camp.

Guidelines of the program
1. day:         Arrival to Budapest, accommodation, sightseeing if required
2. day:         Travel to Aggtelek, accommodation, horse-cart riding

Accommodation in Budapest is in an apartment house, in all other places in very simple conditions, in tents or wooden houses. Eating is partly in restaurant, partly self-prepared in stew-pot. A transport within Hungary is by lift bus.

Language of communication is English.
The tour leader physiotherapist speaks English well and has already led some similar tours for wheelchair users. The survival tour is not totally accessible so it is not recommended without a personal helper.

YOUNGSTERS, COME TO BUDAPEST

Come and party in Budapest! Pubcrawl, concerts, festivals – for the active ones: paintball or caving (tour for wheelchair users and special guided tour in the caves under Budapest), relaxation in a spa, getting more beautiful at the cosmetologist and a lot more. All the programs are accessible for wheelchair users, too.
Budapest is an exciting big city with tremendous entertainment facilities also for youngsters. Try it, spend a weekend here and party! You’ll have plenty of time to sleep when you’re retired.
