It is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.The reason why people like "Survival Holidays" is that they think being close to nature is good for children.

Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger.Even slight danger like getting their feet wet or fal ling down seems very terrible to them.Many people think the survival activities are good for children.
