A total of 22 competitive stations will be prepared for children, which they can navigate accompanied by adults. Exciting challenges await them, including an obstacle course, crawling under barriers, a weighted run, strength disciplines, improvised grenade throwing, as well as airsoft and air rifle shooting ranges.
The program will also feature skill-based and knowledge-oriented tasks. Visitors will get to try their hand at knot-tying, navigating with a blind map, identifying state symbols, and memory challenges. Several disciplines will draw inspiration from historical late-19th-century military training, seamlessly blending the fun-filled program with military history.
Rewards and Highlights:
The competition phase will run until 2:30 PM. Successful participants will win the opportunity to ride in selected historical military vehicles, with rides scheduled for two sessions – at 12:30 PM and 3:30 PM. Other rewards will also be up for grabs, such as shooting a historical firearm or winning military and history-themed merchandise, including publications, coloring books, memory games (pexeso), and magazines.
In addition to the competitions, the Military Readiness Day will showcase exhibits from the collections of the Military History Institute Prague, alongside presentations by units of the Armed Forces of the Czech Republic and various military history clubs.
