Read the map during the day, drink only at night

PAAGO Navi & Camp is a Pergo Works fan event where you can experience the fun of the outdoors through navigation sports and camping. Participate in teams of two and compete in outdoor power in both two types of games to measure navigation skills (rogaining and orienteering) and two types of games to measure camping skills (packing and cooking). Fight in earnest during the day, surround the bonfire at night, and interact with other participants!

We are devising ways to enjoy rogaining and bonfires even for those who are new to it. The theme behind this event is “learning”. Before every game there is a simple demonstration by a "master". Even beginners are encouraged to participate.

Scene from the pre-event

Prior to this event, pre-events were held in May and September of last year, and monitors participated.

At the pre-event, we prepared unique Pergoworks-like mechanisms in various places while focusing on navigation games, so that everyone could enjoy themselves.

Emphasis was placed on enjoying the nature at the foot of Mt. Yatsugatake to the fullest, rather than competitiveness. I would like to introduce some of the testimonials that we have received from our monitors.
