Home/Camp Program

Seven days that change your view of the world

The daily rhythm of the camp is carefully designed - from morning prayer and a shared breakfast, through art workshops and excursions, to evening gatherings and song. All with one purpose: for the child to return home with Serbia in their heart.

What a typical session looks like

Follow how a week at SerbianCamp unfolds - from arrival, through art and history, to the closing celebration.

  1. Day 1

    Bonding & Getting Acquainted

    Settling in, first contact with peers, a shared dinner. An overview of the whole session's program - what lies ahead, who the leaders are, and the rules and rhythm we bring.

  3. Day 4 & 5

    Excursions in the Footsteps of Our Ancestors

    Visits to holy sites, landmarks, historical monuments and natural beauties nearby - monasteries, fortresses and national monuments, where history lessons are absorbed in the very places where that history was written.

  4. Day 6

    Sports and Folk Games

    Organized sporting games, tournaments and competitions - from popular sports like football, basketball, volleyball and relay races, to folk games such as tug-of-war and sack races. The best are recognized with fitting awards, but the emphasis is on fair play and the cultivation of a sporting and chivalrous spirit, not on winning at any cost.
