Ecological fairy tale


Part 1. Apocalypse.

Yes Yes! Exactly the apocalypse, but only for water rats. The toads and frogs are gone. There is nothing to eat! But we will talk about a little rat named Bull. He loved to dive! And it was harder for him than everyone else.

Part 2. Boul.

Baby Bul grew up in the “Setunei” clan (on the Setun River). It was from this river that all the production left. The amphibians went into the Dunznaika River, which was several kilometers downstream. But let's move to Buhl's hole.

“I will go and save our clan!” Bull declared proudly. Before going to bed, Bull’s father, Strong-pawed, began to tell: “When Setun overflowed so far and was pure, two clans - “Setuni” and “Neznamyshi” - entered into an alliance. Each clan had enough food. This means that it was impossible to drive away prey from another clan. But the alliance was broken... The “ignorant people” took away our food for themselves. I heard you want to help, son? But will you be able to pass through the “Thresholds of Fate”, cross the “Dam of Monsters”, go out into the Dunno River, swim through the “Black Rain” and fight the Twirly Tail - the leader of the “Neznaysh”? And then drive the amphibians back to us? Think about it! And now, Good night, son!"

Strongpaws and his wife Belozubka closed all the entrances and exits to the hole and went to bed.

Part 3. The Path.

The next day, Buhl got up early and began packing his backpack: seven dried bugs, a fishing hook with rope, a sharpened hawthorn thorn, a dog's tooth and a woven net.

Without saying anything, Buhl ran out of the hole, plopped down into a piece of a car tire, took a flat piece of wood and swam with the flow. Boule was approaching the “thresholds of fate.” He didn't even know WHAT IT was!.. The flow accelerated. Ahead is a fallen tree. And there are a lot of plastic bags and other rubbish on it. After shaking like that for four rapids, Bulya’s boat couldn’t stand it! The boule fell into a pile of garbage. But the baby didn't give up! Having found a larger piece of tire in the stinking heap, he fastened a stick on it, and put a leaf on the stick - why not a sail?!

A gust of wind carried the little rat further. "Monster Dam" was really scary! Having dragged his boat through a giant pile of human waste, Buhl sailed on. “Where are the monsters?” thought Buhl. The monsters immediately appeared. Two huge angry dogs jumped to the boat and swam after it... The baby was saved by the sewer. The ship and the captain, barely alive from fear, dived into a large pipe. Some black and sticky liquid dripped from above. It was fuel oil. The sail shrank. “Black rain!” the kid shouted and began to row forward with all his strength. Light! And here is Dunno - the river. She is the same as Setun. Suddenly, Buhl's ship was caught by the current and hit a rock. The baby flew up in the air! He landed on a pile of paper. In front of him, waving his tail-whip in anger, stood Twitchtail!

Part 4. Battle.

Twitchtail grabbed Bull with his tail. The kid managed to grab a hawthorn thorn and prick the Twister with it! He loosened his grip and howled in pain. But then the “Neznamyshes” began to approach Buhl from all sides. The kid threw seven beetles into the crowd. The rats rushed after their prey. Buhl took the dog's tooth, but it was knocked out of the paws of the Twisttail's tail. The kid jumped back, took out a hook, threw it so that the hook stuck into the ground, and immediately wrapped the enemy with the speed of lightning. Then the little warrior's net was thrown over Twisttail!

Soon Buhl dragged the captured enemy onto his boat. It was bait for flies... And he swam back to the house. The smell of the enemy followed the ship... And behind the smell flies and mosquitoes flew. Behind them came frogs and other living creatures that loved flies for breakfast!

Part 5. Epilogue.

Buhl returned victorious and became famous! He became the savior of “Setunya”, and therefore of his river. But not everything is so smooth.

The garbage grew and grew...Setun began to get shallow!

Think about it, people! Our garbage interferes with the lives of other creatures!!! Let's be human!!!

General program:

“Odyssey” - this word has long meant a reckless journey filled with adventures, exploits, overcoming both fabulous and real obstacles and, of course, overcoming, first of all, oneself. And it doesn't matter where you travel.

The "Water Odyssey" program is held in the Republic of Karelia - the pearl of the Russian north. The program includes initial training and river rafting with simple rapids, living according to hiking rules. A variety of challenges and adventures await participants (passing beautiful rapids, catamaran racing, self-rafting on rough water, building a bathhouse, etc.) There will be time to pick berries, fish, swim - after all, real summer begins in the southern part of Karelia by the end of June .

This program is for those who want to get acquainted with extreme rafting on mountain rivers, but are not immediately ready for the harsh tests of cold and dangerous rapids. The Shuya River and its tributary Syapsya will provide the opportunity to gradually go through the entire course of a tourist boater from simple river rapids on Syapsa at the beginning of the route, ending with the very interesting and popular rapids of category 2-3 Big Tolly, which we will storm at the end of our hike.

At the end of the route, a cozy parking lot awaits us and the opportunity to visit the bathhouse in order to return to civilization without the unnecessary touch of camp life. At the request of the group, before the train, you can organize an excursion to a monument of Russian architecture - Kizhi Island on Lake Onega.

"Water Odyssey" is a real water trip 2 categories of difficulty. Throughout the shift we work in teams of catamarans and kayaks of 4-6 people, learning to negotiate with each other, overcome rapids together and work on the shore. Many participants will be able to try themselves in the role of a captain, who must quickly control the crew on turbulent sections of the river. Parents and participants after the Water Odyssey session often note that the experience of overcoming real difficulties and fighting the elements allows them to behave more effectively and confidently in ordinary everyday situations. In addition, Karelia is one of the most beautiful untouched corners of Russia, with forests and low mountains, with clean lakes, big amount mushrooms and berries, a rich fauna, and all this is found in abundance at every site.

The rapids of the Shuya River belong to the 2nd category of difficulty, however, those who find it difficult will be given the opportunity to go through the rapids on a kayak (scout) or even by self-rafting.

Schedule:

*More information about organizing the excursion:
The cost of the excursion is not included in the cost of the program. For those wishing to visit Kizhi Island, accompanying persons will be provided. If any of the participants does not want to go, instructors will also stay with them and offer alternative activities. A decision on the trip must be made by the date of the parent meeting. Payment for the excursion is also made there.

Day 9 - Dismantling of ships, gathering of camp, departure to Petrozavodsk, possible excursion to Kizhi Island*. Boarding the train.
Day 10 - Arrival in Moscow. Meeting at Leningradsky station. End of the program.

The teams will have to assemble rafts that will not only not sink in the water, but will also show excellent aerodynamic qualities during a high-speed swim.


If your element is water, this team building is for you. As children, we all loved to launch boats through puddles, the time has come to launch our very own big ship, with a person on board. Microsoft, Megafon and many others have already rafted on our improvised kayaks.


The participants' task is to build kayaks from materials that are completely unsuitable for building swimming devices: tubes, film, clamps, and so on. Only strict adherence to the instructions and skillful hands will help you create a boat. But don’t forget that it should be the fastest, and also designed in the style of your team. The program will allow you to experience the benefits of the division of labor. Thus, let the “design” department (men) handle the assembly, and the “design” department (girls) handle the design.


Once your kayaks are ready, we will line up at the start line to begin the speed swim. Each boat must have 2 participants with oars. A lot depends on the fans. Without your support the crew will not finish first.

Team building involves 3 prizes, with medals being awarded. When all the winners have received their awards and medals, we can take the kayaks to the office and long remember the hour of our triumph. The winds are in your sails!
