During the summer months we are offering an 8 -week-long summer program in the Villach Ossiacher See region, starting at 7:30 a.m and finishing at 4:30 p.m. Each camp day has a different core topic, such as water, arts & crafts, sport, nature, dance & music and so forth. Kids spend time together exploring the core topics, play games and sports, learn new things about each other and participate in excursions around Carinthia. We place particular emphasis on a varied program that is geared towards the needs of the children.
