Raw Adventure Camps - Learn from World Champion Racers

Rob Howard / 17.12.2014

Have you ever followed the progress of the top Expedition Adventure Racing teams and wondered ‘How do they do that?’

If so, now is your chance to find out as Jacky Boisset and Mimi Guillot, double world champions and winners of many races, are setting up training camps to pass on their skills and expertise.

Raw Adventure Camps are more than just training camps – they are an opportunity to engage with and learn from the lifestyle of these two accomplished racers. The camps will be held at different locations around the world, starting in Costa Rica in January 2015.

They will be all-inclusive (yoga training and massage as well) and look at training, diet and recovery to increase strength, agility and endurance. The Yoga training and massage will be provided by Silvio Bonomelli and there will be different locations within each country they visit. In Costa Rica they plan 3 locations over the 3 weeks of the camp, and there will be options to stay for the whole time, a week or a weekend.  

Here is what Jacky and Mimi have to say about their new venture;

“We are preparing 2015 with new adventures and new projects for us but also Raw Adventure Camp to share our life style with people, athletes, friends ...

The 1st Raw Adventure Camp will be organized in Costa Rica and will be followed by other countries all around the world.

From the 18th of January to the 8th of February 2015 the camp will be for 3 weeks in 3 different spots. The 1st on the pacific coast nearly Quepos in the Era Eco Reserve : Posada Natura center, the 2nd between Gaia hot springs and Mount Chirripo and the 3rd on the Caribbean side at Puerto Viejo de Talamanca. So the scenery will be varied, white sand beaches, primary jungle forest, high altitude on the Chirripo volcano (3800m), hot springs ...

We want to give access to the Raw Adventure Camp to all levels of athletes who want to touch their limits or discover our life style, our special diet, and enjoy a nice country while helping us to protect our "Earth". So each week will have one goal to step up in the wellness of each participant and contribute to the conservation efforts of the Eco Era Rainforest Reserve.

The Raw Adventure Camp is possible for a week end, a week, 2 weeks or the all 3 weeks. The week will focus on training, teaching, cooking, stretching, relaxing and the week end will be an enjoyable adventure from noon to noon, point to point. The goal is not the time, it is not a race but a real adventure experience where everybody can finish the course with pleasure.

We want also insist about the food because for us, the key of the wellness and health, it is how we feed our body... so all the food will be organic, vegan and raw but we want to explain you why during these weeks together. Doctor Graham the US author of the "80/10/10 diet" and "Nutrition and Athletic performance" will be also present for 1 week to share his great vision.”
