The best camp ever

Those who visit Hyvärilä tend to say, “the best camp ever”. Camp school programmes are always planned with the client and tailored to the group’s wishes. This way the camp runs safely and allows the participants to focus on the most important thing: spending time together.

At Hyvärilä, you experience both small and great moments that teach, make you laugh, make you sweat, bring people together, and, sometimes, even fill your stomach as well!

Independent visit to Hyvärilä

Yes, it’s possible! You won’t run out of things to do or hobbies to enjoy at Hyvärilä – whether you prefer being active outdoors or indoors. Rental equipment is also available if needed.

In summer, you can stay at the campsite either with a caravan or in cozy cabins. In the surrounding area, you’ll find the 9-hole Pielis-Golf course and a frisbee golf course. PielisAreena is located in the same courtyard area, and the Bomba Spa is right next door. During the summer, the large Hyvärilä lawns can be transformed into a drive-in movie theater!
