The most interesting activity camps in the world
For some people, traveling means spending a few weeks at a resort and being waited on hand and foot while they lounge and soak up the sun. And while nobody can deny that a holiday like that is sometimes necessary, if you’re the type of person who cant sit quietly for a second, then you might soon find yourself very bored.If you don’t want to feel like you ‘wasted’ your time doing nothing and you absolutely have to learn something new even if you’re supposed to be on a holiday, then you can go to an activity camp and kill two birds with one stone. Nobody will be able to accuse you that you didn’t have a proper holiday, and you get to do something fun and quirky – just pick one of the most interesting activity camps in the world.
Ghost University, New Orleans
Did you like Ghost Busters so much that for a long time, you actually wanted to become one? Well, here’s your chance to make up for lost time. Maison de Ville in New Orleans is supposedly one of the most haunted hotels in the world, and there’s a crash course in ghost hunting that you can take during your stay.If you want a hands on approach to communicating with the netherworld, there’s no better place for it.
Poker Camps
There are countless poker camps across the world, and many of them located in the US. If you want to make sure that your tuition fees will be a good investment, perhaps a few weeks of poker training are just what you need. Classes are usually taught by poker experts and you’ll learn a few tricks that are way more complicated than the classic poker face.
Elephant Mahout Training, Thailand
The National Elephant Institute in Lampang Province is making great efforts in matters of elephant conservation, as well as sustainable preservation of local traditions. One of their educational tools is to teach people how to handle elephants, ride them and how to communicate with them, that is, to become elephant mahouts.Gondolier Training, Venice, Italy
Gondolas are the most well known symbols of Venice and most tourists who visit the city end up taking a gondola trip. But how about becoming the gondolier instead of sitting nicely in the boat? You will learn how to keep your balance while standing on the gondola, how to row, steer and have an elegant stance. Who knows, maybe these skills on your CV will be a great advantage some day.
