General information

Life at camp will be simple and we will learn how to live and spend our days in a calm and peaceful environment using only necessities in the heart of the forest.

Please ask your children to prepare their own bag with your help, but please don’t prepare it for them. This way they will know exactly what they have with them, they will easily locate what they need and learn to take care of their own belongings. The recommended equipment (on the back) is necessary for the camp. This does not mean that you must buy the specific items we propose. You can use what you have at home that fits the description. If you are not sure about something you have at home, please ask us. 

Equipment purchase

You can purchase the required equipment at our own store Get Out outdoor store.  We carry all the equipment and everything one needs for adventure and outdoor sports and we offer 20% discount for your purchases.

Camp Equipment list:

• • Duffle bag 50 Litres max:  Duffle bags are soft yet durable, can fit in a lot of things, and can be easily stored in the tent without taking up a lot of space. They are very convenient with a big opening to facilitate easily locating things. One bag per child. Please check the dimensions to be no more than 60cm X 35cm X 25cm height. Only soft duffle bags with no wheels, no bulky travel luggage please. It should fit everything except the sleeping bag (compact sleeping bags fit as well) and sleeping mat (those can be carried in a big nylon bag that can be folded and saved). In case your luggage doesn’t fit the above mentioned dimensions you will be asked to buy a duffle bag from us on the spot and fit your things inside. 

• Hiking backpack 20L: Fits on the shoulders with two slings and ties around the waist. Preferably with anatomic back support system to provide a pleasant hiking experience. Any comfortable backpack from home will do. 

• • Sleeping bag: Summer light sleeping bag. Quality sleeping bags don’t cause allergic skin reactions while allowing the skin to breathe when sleeping. 

• Foam sleeping mat (or self-inflatable sleeping mat): The mat must be a camping mat and not an exercise mat. The quality of the mat reflects quality of sleep. Please check that the dimensions of your child’s sleeping mat are not more than 185cm length X 060cm width X3cm height. (We need a proper camping mat, not those inflatable beds that are to be inflated with a pump)

Contact during camp

Campers will call you once on Wednesday afternoon. If you need to urgently contact your child, you must call the Camp Leader. Too frequent contact with your child is not necessary and intervenes with your child’s adjustment to life at the camp. Please only call Marios in case of an emergency. HE WILL call you if your child is having a real problem or to clarify something if necessary.

Contact number before Camp: 22254612 & 99441585 (Louisa)
Contact number during Camp: 99359214 (Marios -Camp Leader) (send SMS please if not urgent)

Emotional support

Most of the children are going to camp for the first time. Remember: they are old enough to be doing this.  And they are ready, but they also need your support. We need two things from you: your trust in us as educators and your support and encouragement to your child. Your camper will call you on Tuesday afternoon. Please note that especially children who are going for the first time have mixed emotions on the first day(s) and might get emotional when they call you. Marios and the team are there for them to guide them and help them with love and respect, each and every one of them individually. If you are tough for them too, you will get them back stronger and tougher ☺ Please only call Marios in case of an emergency. He WILL call you if your child is having a real problem or to clarify something if necessary. Please remember no news is good news. You can also text or call me (Louisa) if you have any concerns during camp. 

We remain at your disposal for any assistance you might need or any questions. Our team is looking forward to welcoming you for an unforgettable adventure!
