The agency Visit Konjic has launched the first generation of the Adventure Outdoor Camp, designed for children from Konjic aged 7 to 12. The goal is to take kids away from screens and develop key skills through direct experiences in nature. On behalf of Visit Konjic, Amela Bubalo emphasized that this is just the beginning of a series of adventure stories they plan to organize in Konjic. A group of 10 children will participate in the program over the course of four Saturdays, Bubalo explained.
Visit Konjic Launches Adventure Camp: Kids Learn Climbing and Explore Nature
“First Saturday: Basics of sport climbing and knot-tying at the Outdoor Resort Visit Konjic.
Field visits (two Saturdays): Planned activities include a jeep safari and hiking tours. The first visit will cover Blace and Blatačko Lake, while the second trip, depending on the weather, will involve a hike to Visočica (bivouac Zoran Šimić) or to the Tisovica Valley in Prenj.
Final Saturday: Focus on camping. Participants will set up a tent camp, organize a campfire, and hold a traditional chestnut roast. One final gathering will wrap up the program, with all participants receiving diplomas and taking home valuable knowledge, wonderful memories, and new friendships,” Bubalo explained.
Instructor Aldin Kadić emphasizes that the camp’s mission goes beyond simply learning adrenaline sports—the priority is developing skills needed in the modern world.
“My task is to help children develop their psychomotor skills, and then to foster a love for certain adrenaline sports, such as climbing today. What is most important is that children develop psychomotor abilities, which are greatly needed in today’s world of modern technology.”
The children shared their first impressions of climbing, highlighting their struggles with fear and the process of learning new skills.
Džan Abaza: “Climbing the rock is a bit challenging. Some make it halfway, some reach the top, and some get a little scared. We can rest if we get really tired, and when we want to come down, we just jump or walk back.”
Tarik Tucaković: “I came here because I want to learn how to tie knots, climb rocks, and do all sorts of things that are important for hikers. I was just a little scared at first. Whenever you want something, if you’re afraid of it, try to fight that fear.”
Una Ramić: “I love nature, I love animals, and everything connected to the outdoors. Tarik wanted to give up, but I supported him. I also reached the top—it was a little scary at first, but later it wasn’t scary anymore.”
Faris Bubalo: “I find climbing on rocks interesting. I was in Mostar on the Via Ferrata Hum, I reached the top, and it was exhausting.”
Nadin Nezirević: “I came a bit to practice, to climb and so on. It was a little scary, but I managed to get halfway. When I was up there, it wasn’t scary anymore because I could climb everything.”
Amela Bubalo exclusively announced the planned expansion of the Outdoor Resort in Bijela Valley, at the foot of Prenj:
“Our resort project will continue this season with the construction of an adventure park. By spring, we will have new adventure camps with an expanded range of activities. There will be an adventure park where parents can come with their children to spend time together.”
Through the camps and the announcement of the adventure park, the Visit Konjic complex reinforces its role as a key destination for the development of family and adventure tourism in the region.
