This expedition includes a humanitarian component, as we continue our support of sponsoring Kaule Village, a small village an hour outside of Kathmandu that got destroyed in the 2015 earthquakes. Enlightened Globetrekker Adventures supports this village in regrowth and education. Each year our retreat team brings donations and goods to this village. This year and last year our 2018 and 2019 expedition teams collectively paid the teachers’ salaries for a year and a half, and bought all of the students new fancy warm school shoes. We encourage all expedition members of all ages to employ a fundraiser method in their home countries, and then bring it to the team to share on behalf of our team. This instills lessons of earning, giving, sharing, equality, and compassion. This is an especially powerful exercise for the kiddies. To give on behalf of the team always feels absolutely amazing. Please join our efforts in supporting Nepal!

Crystal has taught kindergarten, and 5-7th grades, in Mexico and the South Pacific, and used to work at UNCW teaching university students. This summer, they have decided to stay here in their hometown and have fun serving up this goodness to their own hometown community, by way of designing and offering an inspired living summer day camp, in the same style found in the Adventure Kids Club on their global adventure retreats. We are happy to be home this summer, and we hope that you will join us for adventure camp! We can’t wait to adventure together!

Camp Structure:
Every day we will be adventuring in a different way. Once everyone scheduled is dropped off, we will begin our morning yoga class and circle time. Then we will have a healthy provided snack, and then we will leave Halyburton for the daily scheduled inspirational adventure: Carolina Beach State Park nature hiking and nature collections for adventure boxes, ocean swimming, beach adventures, discussing tides, collecting shells for boxes, pool swimming, etc. Some days we will be staying at the park for music group, biking day, crazy fun, journaling, and awesome globally-inspired projects, etc. We will have circle times twice a day, sitting on the grass, discussing our intentions, gratitude, learning Spanish, what we will be learning for the day, and then regrouping and reflecting on our day, our adventures, each other, friendships, nature, and ourselves. All activities focusing on nonmaterialism, nontechnology, simplicity, grounded living, gratitude, nature, and adventure. Before camp begins, you will receive a packet of information including an adventure gear packing list for each day, and each day’s schedules, lessons, and projects.
Space is limited. All releases to be signed upon deposit and registration.
On this adventure:
Like the feel of Tulum, this adventure is a mix of eco chic luxe simplicity and raw beautiful natural adventure. This retreat is a combination of all of our favorite things, and the factors that we feel are important to be balanced: adventure, paradise, yoga, healthy food, tranquility, nature, love, travel, culture, and inner peace. This retreat takes you away from life as you know it, to a quiet remote jungle palapa, with time to focus on yourself through yoga and meditation, silence, fun, adventure, and happiness. No wifi, no stress.
Time to realize dreams, see strengths, love life, share with others, and create and enjoy your own most extraordinary potential. A mix of simple and elegant, we cover all of the details, and foresee all desires and needs to ensure that you have a life-changing, relaxing, fulfilling, rejuvenating, and inspiring adventure.
