Programs

Vargamäe heptathlon A relay race will test the team’s skills and cooperativeness. The seven events are completed using old farming tools such as the shaft bow and the horse yoke. 

Traditional folk games and customs This activity program is inspired by farm life – we’ll travel back in time to play the games that were once traditionally played by a typical framing family. Some of the games played include riddle solving, tug-of-war, “Poke Out the Eye of the Shoemaker”, and the Nettle Game. If you wish, we’ll talk about traditions related to predicting the future and endeavor to indeed tell the future on site. 

Traditional folk Christmas You’ll learn about traditional Christmas mores, games, and soothsaying ways with emphasis on doing things together and spending time as a group. Learning about folk Christmas customs, participants will have a chance to try out handicrafts, play games, and foretell the future. The program will equip you with knowledge and skills for a different kind of Christmas celebration. 

Magnificent Estonian nature Bogs are some of the most wondrous natural sights to be visited in Estonia. The Museum is situated close to Kodru Bog which leads all the way to Järva-Madise Church. The bog hike extends across 5.2 km. You will be accompanied by a Hike Leader.
