Nature, creativity, and adventure

In the historic setting of Ankkapurha’s Culture Park, old and new blend together. The camp programmes combine adventure, history, and nature. School camps are executed in a relaxed way, so that every child and young person can participate according to their own abilities and skills. A camp can last a single day or a full week, providing an adventure that the whole group enjoys.

Careful planning and execution of the camps support school curricula and children’s independent learning. Camps are organised throughout the year. In their free time, participants can utilise sports equipment, guided trails, or even a 20-hole disc golf course.
