Summer camp for teenagers focused on linguistic and social integration of Ukrainian refugees lodged in the High Tatras region into the Slovak society and on reconnecting teenagers affected by war with nature. Teenagers will have an unique opportunity to spend time in nature with activities such as interesting games and expeditions. The program is designed to enliven and to make ecological education with outdoor activities in nature more attractive first of all to children and teenagers and to raise their curiosity for nature as well as to help with resolving their problems of passivity, depression and post-traumatic syndrome, typical for refugees.
We believe that thanks to the green nature of the Carpathians and outdoor adventure the Ukrainians affected by war – not only teenagers, but also their parents will be happier and more optimistic and may for the time being forget the horrors of the war.
