The theme for the camp is ”Sea scouting 2020” with UN`s Agenda 2030 with Sustainable Development of our world as basic theme.
We will sail, canoe, snorkle, hike, learn about maritime safety and much more.
This camp is for those who want to sail, hike, swim in the archipelago, experience nature and paddle canoe or kayak. Whether it is the first time or one in a thousand, it becomes a unique experience.
