Summer camps 2024

We finished our summer camps at Polana. This year, 70 participants aged 7-16 spent their holidays with us. It was an unforgettable two weeks, moments spent together and great adventures, new friendships and sympathies that will remain in the memory of the kids and our staff forever. The camp program included many attractions: a trip to the Healesville Sanctuary where we could admire Australian animals, a full-day trip to the Funfields water park and a trip to Maroondah Dam. Children actively participated in other activities, such as: discos, bonfires with sausage roasting, walks around the neighborhood, trips to the local swimming pool, competitions, games and integration activities. All participants returned to their homes rested and smiling. We would like to thank all children, young people and parents for their trust and interest and we cordially invite you for next year. In particular, we would like to thank the caregivers for their professional care of the participants and pleasant cooperation. We are glad that everything worked out and we invite you to cooperate with us in the future.
