Ikar hut projects 2017


Even though the year is not over yet, we slowly start to summarize the recent activities of IKAR hut  in the creative 2017, where we have hosted international youth gatherings, art workshops, film workshops, survival camps, and eco-activism activities.We are happy to be the ones responsible for creating the network for many new friendships on international ground, while educating the new generations about environmental and outdoor responsibilities.

Ikar hut is surely becoming a brand for team building activities, where we offer exceptional master classes in diverse fields for youth and adults, professional team for all outdoors, motivating presentations though personal storytelling while cooking together and learning more about Macedonian kitchen.  Accommodation and some of the activities are based in our cozy yard and spacious house, surrounded by beautiful nature in the feet of Galicica NP and the shore of Ohrid lake.
