Children`s camp

For kids aged 6 to 16!

This is a space where every day is filled with joy, movement, discoveries, and fun adventures. Here, true magic happens: children unlock their talents, make new friends, and feel part of a bright and inspiring world.

“So different, yet together!”

The camp brings together children from different countries — Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Switzerland, Ukraine, and many other parts of Europe. They may speak different languages and be of different ages, but this is never a barrier. On the contrary — it’s a gift! Children learn to understand each other without words — through play, creativity, and friendship.

Lively communication and team games

Through fun, engaging, and developmental activities, children learn to:

• listen and truly hear each other
• be part of a team and express themselves
• accept and respect differences
• express emotions safely and positively

Creativity without limits

Every day includes workshops and activities that nurture each child’s creativity:

• drawing, sculpting, handicrafts
• theater productions
• singing, dancing, acting
• music, movement, improvisation

Intellectual and culinary discoveries

• chess and logical board games
• cooking workshops with hands-on preparation and, of course, tasting!

Playful adventures and sports

• outdoor active games
• sports in a fun and inspiring way
