Holiday camps
Activities that take place during the school holidays for one week and include unforgettable experiences, new friendships, fleeting young love, and learning new skills.
Young Dragons in Shelter
We work to educate young people about the issue of abandoned animals, the right way to raise and care for dogs and cats, and responsible pet ownership from a variety of perspectives.
The one-week camp exposes participants to a wide range of animal relations through various activities like making toys for cats, learning about myths and misconceptions about black animals, learning about the careers of an animal caretaker and a veterinarian, and visiting a police dog unit. The camp experience includes sports and creative activities, as well as the preparation of wholesome meals. And if the parents behave well, we invite them to the shelter following the camp so that the children can show them around and teach them what they learned.
The shared knowledge and abilities of the Young Dragons and the Shelter Ljubljana in the areas of animal care and responsible ownership are a priceless investment in the future.
Mepi Camp
A holiday activity that we have been organising in collaboration with the GAHA for many years. Through camping activities, young people participate in a seven-day adventure programme where they learn how to survive in nature away from technology and outside of their comfort zone. Young people at the adventure camp must face challenges like pitching tents, cooking meals over the magnificent campfire, playing orientation games, and hiking. Swimming is also included!
Young Dragons successfully collaborated with the GAHA association for the thirteenth time in 2022! The activities of the adventure camp vary from year to year, and the camp’s goal is to re-establish lost contact with nature and to take a break from the digital content that shapes our daily lives. It promotes informal socialisation through various teambuilding activities, which strengthens their self-image. The programme is designed for students in the last three grades of primary school and high school.
