Four days outside the usual room.
The work is the same work. The setting changes what it can do. More movement, more hours on the land, and a kind of attention that only shows up once the walls are gone.

What to expect
The practical details.
- Format
- Four days and three nights. The next dates and location have not yet been announced.
- Shabbos
- Wild does not run over Shabbos.
- Glamping
- The experience is built around a cared for outdoor stay rather than survival camping. Specific accommodations and amenities are shared when each location is announced.
- Movement
- Wild includes more fitness, hiking, and outdoor physical experience than Ahdama for Men.
- Individual considerations
- You are asked to be present for everything. You are never required to do all of it. Medical, physical, dietary, and other considerations are reviewed with you individually.
The process

An Ahdama team member reviews your application for fit. We may call you if we need to understand something more clearly.
