Summer Urban Camp: PIrates school!

These days we are organazing, preparing and working on a summer urban camp to develop on July in Slobozia. 

A Summer Urban Camp is an alternative for children to enjoy the summer in a creative and healthy way.

Why?

Summer is a long period for the kids which is used to have a break of the formal education time, enjoy the family, the weather, be relaxed, go on travelling, and discover new things… But it’s complicated to conciliate all this good experiences for the kids, and the full time occupation of the families (they don’t have a 3 months holiday break!) The families can use a public local service to give the kids a varied free time when they are at work. The kids will be playing, learning and discovering with other kids until the evening in a known placed close to their houses.

Where?

A summer urban camp is developed in the schools to offer the children healthy free time through non formal education methods and activities during holidays to complement the formal education time.

How?

Each fortnight we will develop a different topic which involves different activities. Every chosen topic will be interesting, attractive, educative and funny.
