The 10th IATC offers the following participation options, allowing you to choose the ticket that best suits your needs.
5-Day Program
The 10th International Adventure Therapy Conference will be held in 2025, coinciding with the 400-year mark of drastic changes in Taiwan’s natural environment. However, the power of nature has already reawakened, and due to global warming and the rampage of COVID-19, it is constantly reminding the world of the importance of rebuilding the relationship between humans and nature. Against this unique backdrop, we propose “The Healing Power of Nature” as the theme for this conference
Morning
Dandumu: Gathering for icebreaking & Warm-up
Dandumu is a word from the language of the Bunun, an indigenous people of Taiwan, meaning “to visit and celebrate together in the community.” We hope participants can arrive in Taiwan early. On the first day at Dong Hwa University, we will use the campus’s adventure facilities to conduct ice-breaking and warm-up activities, fostering familiarity and connections, and encouraging meaningful interactions throughout the conference.

Southern Cross-Island Hiking With Guanshanling Mountain Climbing
Date：2025.06.24-06.26
The event will feature a combination of hiking and transportation via a nine-seater minibus. The Southern Cross-Island Highway is one of Taiwan’s three major east-west highways. Severely damaged by Typhoon Morakot in 2009, it took ten years of challenging repairs before it reopened. This winding, scenic route offers breathtaking views with dramatic elevation changes.
