Summer Camp In Greece.




Greece has not only plenty of medieval sights, but also summer camps, where your kids will spend time, as they say with benefits for the good of their soul and body. Well, today I gonna tell you about one place for your children rest – Macedonia Camp.

When we were traveling and examining Macedonia area, we find out summer camp. We took an interest in it and made inquiries about this Macedonian camp and collected information. So, there is all what we knew this one.

Macedonia Camp, this is official name of present summer camp, is very popular not merely among local kids, but also among foreign parents, who would like their children spend summer time well in beautiful spot. We asked a permission to come in the territory of the camp, and if to be honestly, we had a great desire to came back in childhood and spent time in Macedonia Camp.

There are some words about present summer camp' entertainments & cultural programs, which were told us by this camp leaders. First of all, I would like to tell you about given camp location. This place is really wonderful, charming and adorable and the name of this place is Kassandra peninsula (Halkidiki). I had already wrote about this place. Read in my blog what places of interest you may see here. So, Macedonia Camp is located in fairy place with wonderful beaches and nature landscapes in general. By the way, there are about for kilometres from camp to beach. Special well-equipped camp bus with air-conditioner brings kids on beach. And all that time, when kids romp, camp workers, doctor and lifeguards look intently at restless children.

Surely, you will be interested in camp meals. First off, meals, every possible equipment (for example inflatable beach mattresses, sport equipments, etc.) are included in the price of camp voucher (tour). What about the meal, I have remember my mom words «growing organism needs plenty of vitamins and calories». This is really true and that's why the menu, which is offered riches in various dishes. There are both national Greek dishes (Tiropita: pie with cheese; Musakas: shepherd's pie and so on and so forth) and national American dishes, such as Coca-Cola and hot dog. So, you have no reasons your child will be hungry!

There are some words about physical trainings in the camp. Two times per day, at the minimum, physical exercises are included in camp program and they are obligatory. Moreover, each evening camp leaders will organize different entertainments with fun and playful contests. I'm sure, your children will like camp pastime and will get a lot of impressions!

I think, it is of no small importance to speak about visa and documents you have to obtain and grant. As a rule, travel agency gives you full list of documents you have to grant for camp tour. It can be mass trip (with another child from your country). In such a case there will be person of the full legal age (camp leader, accompanying person, who will responsible for each child). For more detailed information, please apply to you wanted travel agency and inquire about camp trip abroad.

Unfortunately, it was forbidden to made photos and videos in Macedonia Camp, that's why I present you Macedonia, Kassandra peninsula and Halkidiki pics only.
