About the camp
Summer nowhere to be seen, the school is giving you a headache, the weather outside terribly unpredictable - what to do during this school holiday? If you're 11 - 17 years old, worry no more! As soon as your winter holiday starts, we will welcome you to our AKS Anykščiai campsite 2 where we will celebrate the Valentine's day all together and will spend four days talking, watching movies, building new friendships and cutting out heart shaped everythings! All activities will happen in English.
The most important message about the Valentine's Camp is this: since it will be winter outside with a lot of snow (hopefully), we will not sleep in tents as we do in summers, but in the house, therefore, the number of places is very limited. Forty people can fit in the houses quite well (we tried it during previous off-season camps); if we really really try we can fit 45. So, the sooner you register, the more chance that you fit!
Price
80 EUR (last week before the camp 100 EUR), meals included. You may bring extra snacks.
Arrival
Participants take care of their own transportation. If you do not have a ride, write to us, we will try to cooperate you with other campers.
You can arrive on Thursday, Feb 22 from 18:00 or on Friday, Feb 23 from the very morning.
Accommodation
On AKS Campsite 2, in a heated house with toilets inside, hot water, electricity. Participants have to bring their own bedding (mattress, sleeping bag or a duvet, socks (several pairs) also, hats wouldn’t hurt).
It will not be cold inside, but we will go outside at times, so get dressed accordingly.
How to register
You can register by clicking HERE.
After the registration, please make a deposit of 20 EUR for the camp (it is non-refundable); upon receiving the deposit, we will add you to the list of participants.
The very last week before the camp we will send you a Camp Agreement, a Parent Consent Form, a List of Rules - please bring the signed documents to the camp or send them scanned via email. We will provide you with the list of things to bring and the directions to help you find the campsite.
You can pay the remainder of the cost by bank transfer before the camp or by cash once you arrive.
We are happy to answer any of your questions in any form – simply ask!
