Young People from Gorj TakePart in Eco-Tourism Activities

The more than 68 young people enrolled in the Jnepenii project, which runs under the aegis of the Drumeții Montane Association, took part from 14 to 16 June 2013 in hiking and climbing activities and in theory tests with multiple-choice questions on Romanian eco-tourism. Most of the young participants are pupils of General School No. 1 in Motru. They were divided into teams of three people and were able to experience one of the competitions held within the Ștafeta Munților (the Mountain Relay) National Championship.
The young people's results were exceptional, considering that many of them were taking part in such activities for the first time.
The results obtained by our young people are as follows:
In the JUNIORS category, in the tests event they achieved places: 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19; tourist orienteering 3rd place and climbing places 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, where the best team climbed 9 m.
In the OPEN category, in the theory tests event they achieved 1st place; tourist orienteering 4th place and climbing 4th place.
In the OPEN category, in the theory tests event they achieved places 3 and 8; tourist orienteering 2nd place and climbing 5th place.
After adding up all the points, JNEPENII are in 3rd place in the overall ranking of the 2nd stage of the Ștafeta Munților National Championship.
