The Hideout Side Quest #2: Archery & Team Challenge

## ​**What are The Hideout Side Quests?** ​The Hideout Side Quests are half-day pop-up events for adults in and around Berlin to step into The Hideout world without disappearing for a whole weekend. ​Not the full camp weekend. Just a little piece of it. ​Come play, make something, meet people, and remember that weekends can feel different. ​Want the full version? Get on the Summer Camp 2027 waitlist [here](https://tally.so/r/WOAzVP?utm_source=luma). Stay in touch 👉[ Website](https://www.comehideout.com/?utm_source=luma) I [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/come.hideout?utm_source=luma) ## ​Event Description ​A summer afternoon for grown-ups who want to go outside, try something new, and briefly become the kind of person who says things like, “I think I’m actually getting good at this.” ​We’ll learn the basics of archery, get some practice in, split into teams, and end with a friendly challenge where everyone gets weirdly invested in points, targets, and probably one very dramatic final shot. ​ This is not just an archery lesson, it’s archery with camp energy! ​Beginner-friendly instruction, team challenges, tiny prizes, light chaos, and a roomful of adults taking fun just seriously enough. ​No experience needed or athletic personality required, just show up, try to shoot arrows, cheer for your team, and maybe discover that you have excellent main-character-with-a-bow energy 😉 ## ​What to Expect * ​Beginner-friendly archery lesson * ​Practice time with guidance * ​Team-based archery challenges * ​A final mini tournament * ​Tiny prizes for the winning team and a few very official categories that may or may not matter in the real world. * ​Time to hang out before/after * ​A relaxed, playful group setting ​Come alone or bring a friend. We’ll sort the teams. ***Please note:*** *This event will run with a minimum of 10 participants. If we don’t reach the minimum, tickets will be refunded.* ## ​What’s Included ​Your ticket includes the archery lesson, equipment, guided practice, team setup, hosted challenge rounds, water, snacks, prizes\*, and the very serious administration of unserious competition. ​You just show up. We’ll sort the rest. ## ​Good to Know ​Please arrive at 10:30 so we can say hi, sort teams, and ease into the “adult summer camp but with bows and arrows” portion of the day. ​Wear comfortable clothes and shoes you can move in. ​Full details on the meeting point and what to bring will be shared before the event. ​ **10:30 - Step into The Hideout world** Arrival, check-in, team sorting, beginner nerves welcomed ​ **11:00 - Bows, arrows, and mild drama** Archery lesson, guided practice, and team challenges ​ **13:45 - Tiny awards + Proof You Were Here** Final recognition, group photo, dramatic last looks at the target ​ **14:00 - Official end** ​***Optional:*** *nearby food & drinks / hangout after* ## ​The Hideout Rule ​Come ready to enter The Hideout. ​That means trying something new, joining a team, cheering for strangers, and caring about your team score a tiny bit more than expected. ​You do not have to be good at anything. You just have to be game. \* We’ll also be watching for things like most dramatic shot, most improved, and best commitment to the game. So basically, skill helps, but energy also counts!

On this varied circular hike, we’ll explore a chain of elongated lakes in the Behrensdorfer Heide. The quiet and, at times, very secluded trail follows the wooded shores of Lake Springsee and Lake Großer Glubigsee, for much of the route, offering beautiful views of the surrounding nature. Along the way, we’ll also pass through an interesting wet woodland area, a valuable ecosystem that plays an important role in climate protection and nature conservation. And if the weather is on our side, the many lakeside bathing spots invite us to enjoy a refreshing swim or simply relax by the water. As there are no guaranteed places to stop for food or drinks along the route, please bring enough food and water for the day. Since we’ll be walking through woodland and wetland areas, it’s also a good idea to bring an effective insect repellent. **What’s Village Outdoor?** Village outdoor Events are monthly meetups for the we are village community and their friends to enjoy outdoor activities in and around Berlin. Activities include forest hikes, bike tours, swimming in lakes, sightseeing, and kayaking. Each month features a free and easy walk or hike in Berlin or its surrounding areas, accessible by public transport. **General Information** **Be sun smart:** Please dont forget sun screen, a hat and maybe even a long-sleeved shirt.

Auf einer abwechslungsreichen Rundwanderung entdecken wir die langgezogene Seenkette an der Behrendorfer Heide. Der stille und teilweise sehr abgelegene Wanderweg führt größtenteils entlang der bewaldeten Ufer des Springsees und des Großen Glubigsees und eröffnet immer wieder schöne Blicke auf die Natur. Unterwegs passieren wir außerdem ein interessantes Bruchwaldgebiet, das als wertvolles Ökosystem eine wichtige Rolle für den Klima- und Naturschutz spielt. Und wenn das Wetter mitspielt, laden die zahlreichen Badestellen unterwegs zu einer erfrischenden Abkühlung oder einer entspannten Pause ein. Da unterwegs keine Einkehrmöglichkeiten garantiert sind, denkt bitte an ausreichend Proviant und Getränke. Und weil wir durch Wald- und Feuchtgebiete wandern, lohnt es sich auch ein gutes Mückenschutzmittel dabei zu haben. \*Glubigsee, Photo: Angelika Laslo, License: Seenland Oder-Spree **Was ist Village Outdoor?** Village Outdoor Events sind monatliche Treffen der we are village-Community und ihrer Freunde, um Outdoor-Aktivitäten in und um Berlin zu genießen. Zu den Aktivitäten gehören Waldwanderungen, Radtouren, Schwimmen in Seen, Sightseeing und Kajakfahren. Jeden Monat gibt es einen kostenlosen und unkomplizierten Spaziergang oder eine Wanderung in Bereichen Berlins oder in der Umgebung, die mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln erreichbar sind. **Hinweise** **Sei sun smart:** Bitte denk an Sonnenencreme, eine Kopfbedeckung und vielleicht sogar an ein Shirt mit langen Ärmeln. An einem warmen Tag solltest Du auch genügend Wasser dabei haben. **Sprache:** Je nach Bedürfnissen der Gruppe werden wir Deutsch und/oder Englisch sprechen. **Kosten:** Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos. *\*\* Diese Veranstaltung ist Teil unseres Programms ‘**queere generationen**‘, unterstützt von der* ***[Berliner Lotto Stifttung](https://www.lotto-stiftung-berlin.de/)****.
