The Slovenian World Congress (SSK) will organize 26th Youthcamp for Teenagers of Slovenian Origin from Abroad, from Sunday, July 24, to Friday, July 29, 2022, in CŠOD Kavka, Slovenia close to Kobarid, Slovenia.
The main purpose of the youth camp is to bring Slovenia closer to the minds and hearts of youngsters who live abroad. Divided into small groups of six teenagers with one group leader/animator participants discover the beauty of landscapes and various cultural monuments, culture and national identity of Slovenia, learn and improve their use of the Slovene language. Teenagers with no previous knowledge of the Slovene language are also most welcome to attend the camp.
Making new friendships with peers who share a common bond and come from all around the globe is an adventure and a great life experience.
What are the activities? Lessons in the Slovene language, afternoon hikes and tours, fire making, setting up shelters, baking of Kobarid dumplings, sports, socializing, board games, and more!
