Children`s camp

Children’s Creative Camp at HOTEL North Star Ilomantsi

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.

What awaits children at the camp?
