Expedition Arcada

A typical day at the camp

11.05.2015 Projects, Student Life

Every day here at the camp is different for everyone, but this is what a typical day at the camp looks like for me. I wake up at 7 or 8 am depending on what time was decided yesterday. My sleeping bag is cold and a bit wet from last night’s rain and my back hurts from sleeping on the ground. Despite this it doesn’t take long before I start…

Tales from a climbing-safety instructor

09.05.2015 Projects, Student Life

After about three months of working towards a common goal, our main adventure has finally begun! Aron and Pata together with Rauski, an experienced climber and Patas long time friend, have now started ascending the 300 meters tall Via Ferrata that has been in our sights for all this time. Over the next few days they will attempt to climb the route unsupported (meaning that they drag along everything they…

Approaching the wall

08.05.2015 Education, Projects

A few words still before hitting the sack after a long day. We have arrived safely in La Grave and have had just enough time to be awestruck by our surroundings. Yesterday was all about setting up camp(s) that both have been full of activity today. The expedition members are getting to experience what it really means to put a plan into place. Most importantly, our climbers have been training and…

55 flight tickets and one boat trip

06.05.2015 Projects, Student Life

As Expedition Arcada is a student project, we are supposed to handle (almost) everything ourselves, with the teachers as mentors. My and Keny’s mission before the expedition is to organize all trips to and from La Grave in France, both by flight and by boat. To fix around 50 flight tickets and two vans with their drivers on a boat didn’t feel so hard to do beforehand. You just have…

Security above all – literally

04.05.2015 Projects, Student Life

At first we were a first aid team (which is of course required on an expedition the size of this one). But soon enough we saw our area of responsibility grow, and one day in March we decided to change names to the security team, because by then we were in charge of all the necessary security arrangements for the whole expedition. That is; whatever happens on the wall or in…

The training team

15.04.2015 Student Life

Six weeks ago, the training team, consisting of Lisa and Matias, finally got started. Our task before the expedition is to improve the physical health of the participants on the expedition. Therefore we started off by doing physical tests which you can read about in an earlier blog post. Now here we are, 6 weeks later, both highly active and highly motivated. Going on an expedition together demands great teamwork…

Klättringsgruppen rapporterar!

09.04.2015 Cooperation, Education, Projects

Vi deltog till Toyota Kiipeilyareenas säkringskurs på Salmisaari. Där hade vi en 3h intensivkurs över hur man bl.a. använder en ATC och grigri , samt hur man knyter en dubbel åtta. Kursen gav oss färdigheter att säkra varandra säkert. Som mål har vi inom vår klättringsgrupp att klättra 3000m före vi ger oss iväg till Frankrike. Detta klarar vi endast av att uppnå med aktivt tränande. Vi brukar klättra vid…

Morgonöppet live @Arcada!

09.04.2015 Cooperation, Education, Projects

Yesterday we had an exciting morning with Ted Urho from Yle-Radio Vega. A small group of members from the expedition and Pata came early to Arcada to be interviewed by Ted, who did a live broadcast for the morningshow ”Morgonöppet”. When Ted arrived we had not much time left before we would go live. We decided to put Ted up on the Via Ferrata so he could do the interview…

Teambuilding

07.04.2015 Student Life

How do you get 55 persons to co-operate and fully trust one another in the time of three months? And what should be done in order to achieve such things? But more importantly, why are we doing this for the project? There are several answers to the later question. Firstly, we see this project as a unique and thrilling experience to end our Bachelors-degree studies with. Secondly, we are writing…

Expedition Arcada meets the press

26.03.2015 Cooperation, Education, Entrepreneurship, Projects

Yesterday was a big day for Expedition Arcada. It was our first press release. Summing up the day in words is more difficult than I suspected; my head is still twirling from an intensive day of talking about the expedition, meeting new people and the nerves that preceded a press meet. Oh, and making 200 sandwiches. But let’s start from the beginning of the day when my alarm went of…
