We are waiting for you in our kayaking adventure camp, during the summer holidays, in the magical region of Lake Tisza!

The camp is basically organized as a summer camp for upper elementary school students.
The focus is on children aged 10-15.
The location of the camp is Sarud, on the northern shore of Lake Tisza, the address of the accommodation:
Matula Youth Hostel, 3386 Sarud 026/2 hrsz
The price of the camp is HUF 125,000 / 5 days.

The goal of our camp is to introduce children to safe touring kayaking (not competitive kayaking!). This includes all topics that are part of touring kayaking, such as knowledge of equipment, partner rescue and self-rescue, navigation.
In addition to this, the other goal is to introduce and make young people fall in love with the aquatic natural environment.
We strive to impart the necessary amount of theoretical knowledge and then develop it to a skill level through many interesting and playful exercises. Every day of the camp there will be education and practice, and we will introduce the children to the different areas of Lake Tisza (backwaters, islands, viewpoints, beaches) by following a different hiking route every day.
In addition to kayaking, every day there will be an opportunity to go to the beach, play ball games, and learn about the use of SUP.
