Grimeton Academy
The training program includes five tasks, divided into basic training and special training. The three activities in the basic training, Interception, The Examination and The Sabotage, are included in the entrance fee. Separate tickets are required for the special training.
Practical information
In the Visitor Center, you receive a mission folder containing the basic training when you pay the entrance fee or show your pre-purchased ticket. Once you have completed your training, each assignment is ticked off and you receive a photo as proof that you are now a member of the Grimeton Academy. Exercise Hawk Eye is an additional activity that require separate tickets.
Basic training
Interception
Interception puts your Morse code skills to the test. There are hidden transmitters in the training grounds, and with the help of a radio receiver you have to intercept the signals and decode them. What is the secret message?
Accessibility
The activities take place outdoors and indoors on flat areas that are accessible by wheelchair.

The Examination
The Examination puts your physical skills to the test. In three stages, you test your sight, strength and balance. The mast workers have been taking such tests at Grimeton since the 1920s. In addition to the three task stations, the obstacle course also contains other exciting elements that encourage free play and knowledge usage.
Accessibility
The obstacle course is built in such a way that children of all physical abilities can play and learn on it. From the Visitor Center, a pathway that is suitable for wheelchairs and strollers leads down to the obstacle course. The baking table has been set at a height that suits everyone and there is an opening in the palisade of the sand pit for e.g. wheelchairs. One of the wooden houses has a ramp for wheelchairs. Can you decipher the secret Morse code on the wooden houses?
