September 23, 2025 @ 8:00 am – September 26, 2025 @ 5:00 pm
Are you ready to break yourself from your daily life and immerse yourself in exercise and not only?
Throughout this 4-day retreat, you will relax from modern life’s responsibilities while focusing on your health and fitness, meeting people with similar interests and making new friends worldwide.
Most people cannot do this at home because they are preoccupied with daily life, family, work, bills, and other forms of stress and distraction. On this retreat, you will be free of everyday distractions and able to focus solely on yourself.
Our retreat offers women a unique opportunity to learn self-defence, firearms handling and precise shooting drills.
Let’s face it, ladies: no one is coming to save you!
Violence and crime are on the rise, regardless of where you live. There has never been a time when learning self-defence was more crucial. Unfortunately, the headlines in the media and the data show that things will not change for the better, at least soon.
Even if you have not experienced an attack, still nowadays it is challenging to be a woman. Have you ever wondered if something happens to you or your loved ones, how will you react – fight or freeze? Whether you’re concerned about your safety or want to feel more confident and capable, self-defence is an important skill.
Designed specifically for women, we cover essential self-defence techniques and safe and responsible firearm use. Our experienced instructors with a background in military Special Forces or Police provide a safe and supportive environment where you can learn and grow at your own pace.
Never tried a program like this? Not an issue
With a focus on practical and effective methods, you’ll leave the course feeling more prepared and confident in any situation. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to enhance your existing skills, our instructors, with their passion and knowledge, will help you master self-defence techniques and increase your confidence.
The training is challenging and grounded in reality; it is designed to include all women, regardless of age or physical capability. We guarantee that after completing this 4-day course, you will leave more empowered, competent, and confident, enabling you to make the best choices under trying circumstances.
Don’t worry; it’s not all blood, sweat and tears.
Between training, you will have the chance to participate in various outings, including visiting the beautiful city of Wrocław, the castle Zamek Kliczkom and other unique places that SCAT’s team will organise for you.
Since the outings are optional, you might also like to relax by the hotel’s pool and sauna or do various other things.
Don’t wait any longer to invest in your safety and well-being because the best investment you can ever make is an investment in yourself. What are you waiting for? Sign up now, secure your place, and join us on our next adventure!

Demetra Symeonidou
“…Very excited and satisfied as the SCAT team was like last time by our side with professionalism and dedication to what they do, always putting our personal safety above all else. Katerina Sofokleous, thank you for everything!…”
Nicole Savvidi
“…it was an opportunity to give my self a birthday present so I went to TRIP4….. I was so excited about the instructors, the training, even the free time we had for the shops, the restaurants we went to that I had said before I even stepped my foot in Cyprus that I would book my next trip again… you deserve to experience this adrenaline and to be able to take the reins in your own hands and above all to believe in yourself.. That’s why you girls can do it regardless of age, whether married, divorced, or mothers, each of us individually to do it and live it…”
Maria Vasiliou
“…The weapons training and self defense classes were incredibly interesting and helpful. This trip gets your adrenaline pumping, boosts your confidence and makes you feel more secure as a woman (that is, you can protect yourself). Poland is an incredibly beautiful country. Staying in a very nice hotel, our various outings to very select restaurants and clubs were all amazing. I am especially happy because through this unique trip I met wonderful people with whom we lived intense moments together starting from the morning exercise, the bus rides with the radio in the crossroad, the self-defense classes, the shooting and all our evening outings. Women who all have a common purpose. To be independent and to fill their lives with experiences. I personally will continue my travels with SCAT without a second thought.. I highly recommend it to EVERY WOMAN of any age, fit or not, confident or not, married or single, with kids or not. It is undoubtedly the most beautiful gift you can give yourself.”
Olga-maria Artemiou
“…Through this trip I gained and felt more than a lot, dynamism, self-confidence, teamwork, humanity, professionalism, organisation, will, adrenaline, dignity, fun, safety and above all a WOMAN!”
Kerri Barron
“…Learning new skills in self defense is one thing but learning to shoot guns is a whole new level. I cannot wait to go back and thank you so much Katerina Sofokleous for having me on your team and giving me an experience I will surely never forget !”
