Viata program - Adventure education youth camp in Romania

The New Horizons Foundation - established in 2000 is a non profit organization from Lupeni, Hunedoara County, Romania. The foundation implements programs mainly addressed to youth (12-18 years old). The areas of activity of New Horizons Foundation are: non-formal education in schools, through service learning and adventure education. The foundation developed so far two major programs: VIATA (consisting in an annual adventure education camp for youth in Straja mountain resort) and IMPACT (service learning youth clubs).

The VIATA program uses adventure education to promote among youth positive values, self confidence and team work. VIATA uses adventure education in order to get the participants out of their regular environment and to offer them challenging activities (low and high ropes courses, rock climbing, treasure hunting, hiking, exploration of caves, and classes of outdoor orientation) meant to provide practical learning about life and to transfer positive values and behaviors. In 2002, the New Horizons Foundation, through the VIATA program, has been nominated within the Civil Society Gala as the initiator of one of the best three programs for youth from Romania.
