Children’s camps
survival in nature

Children’s camps are intended for children aged 8 to 13. They take place over the weekend, from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon.

The camp is held in the vicinity of Kočevje and combines survival skills, fun, games and socializing.

The program is designed as a game. They start the first day with practically nothing, then with each new skill they acquire, they are rewarded with points that can be exchanged for equipment, additional food, tools and new workshops. In this way, children shape the course of their day themselves. There is also a lot of teamwork and strategy involved in how to spend points.
