"Grensesprengende" is the "motto" for an international scout camp - but the point is not so much the internationalism (although that's part of it) as the opportunity to try new things/meet new people/new challenges etc.

In this context, particularly as as part of a advertising, catch-phrase, this should be a one-word answer, though even limitless doesn't quite match the literal translation "boundary exploding"
Example sentence:
Welcome to a limitless week of activites, both on land and at sea.
