We are the hot spot of outdoor education, where schoolchildren, families, education professionals, government and municipal education officials can explore Finnish nature and enjoy our educational services in a safe and positive atmosphere.
The Finnish Youth Centres are experts in non-formal learning, and we have for decades witnessed the success of our non-formal learning methods.
The educational visit includes introduction to the Finnish camp school system and introduction to the Youth Centres’ pedagogical approach as well as the operations. You will see and take part in 1-2 camp school activities of your selection.
