Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA)—the second caliph of Islam and one of the greatest leaders of all time—once advised:
“Teach your children swimming, archery, and horseback riding.”
This timeless advice wasn’t just about survival. It was about raising a generation that was strong, disciplined, and independent—physically, mentally, and spiritually.
In our modern world, our children spend more time on screens than in the sun. The wisdom of Umar (RA) is a reminder that Islamic upbringing includes physical readiness and outdoor engagement.
At Adventure Alp, we provide that space: teaching youth (and adults) the skills that develop focus, confidence, and resilience—through archery, camping, and traditional outdoor practices.
Legacy Lesson: Real growth happens off the screen—through movement, nature, and traditions that shape the body and soul.
