Hut Building Camps

The Hut Building Camps are super popular classics of Arkki’s summer season. Basic and advanced camps, lasting four or five days, are held in June on the lakeside meadow of Ruukinranta in Espoo, from 9 AM to 4 PM. Two-day family camps are held at the same location on weekends from 10 AM to 3 PM. Camps are conducted in Finnish, Swedish, or English. Meals are not included in the price, so participants should bring their own snacks. Pancakes, however, are made daily.

Check out hut camp offerings below and sign up! The description of each camp is written in the teaching language of that camp.

Basic Camp

Majaleiri

2.-6.6.2025 | klo 9-16 | 5 päivää

Leirillä ideoidaan ja rakennetaan majoja puusta ja muista luonnonmateriaaleista. Perusleiriläiset oppivat tekemään pitäviä solmuja, käyttämään erilaisia työkaluja ja toteuttamaan monenlaisia rakenteita. Jatkoleirillä syvennetään aiemmin opittua sekä kokeillaan uusia tekniikoita. Millainen mielikuvituksellinen majakylä mahtaa syntyä leiriviikon aikana? Oppilaat jaetaan 8-hengen ryhmiin iän ja kokemuksen mukaan. Huomioithan, että leiriin ei kuulu ruokailu, vaan mukaan tulee ottaa omat eväät.
