Overnight Camps

A night camp in the great outdoors is a personal holiday and a safe adventure for your child!

Night camps mean that you spend full days and nights at the camp, from start to finish. At night camps you sleep with the other campers in a tent or indoors at the camp premises. There are things to do and guided activities from morning till night.

Kiljavan Leirikesä

The Kiljava overnight camps in the summer are traditional tented camps. The camps offer action-packed themed activities, social clubs and crafting groups, and relaxing moments at the tent village within your own group.

When the kids have free time, they engage in things such as climbing walls, jumping on trampolines, canoeing, or swimming in a lake.
Every camp day includes up to five shared meals, with a chance to do a little shopping at the camp kiosk during the day.

Night camps at Kiljava are meant for children aged 7–12 years, young people aged 13–15 years, and some camps are even available to young people of 16.

Our night camps at Kiljava also provide opportunities to intellectually disabled children and young people. Children who need a full-time personal assistant can also participate in our camps. We can provide an assistant in these cases.

Subsidised holiday at a overnight camp

Subsidised holiday for all kinds of children

A subsidised holiday means that the child can take a holiday at a night camp at a lower price. Nearly all children can apply for a subsidised holiday at a Leirikesä night camp.

Subsidised holidays are about 50 % cheaper

A subsidised holiday costs about one half of the camp’s regular price. 

We grant the discount based on social, financial, or health reasons related to the child or family. There may be one or several reasons, and the reasons do not have to be directly related to the child who will be attending the camp.

In principle, a child may attend one (1) camp per year at the discounted price, but it is possible to get another discount during the same calendar year providing that there are empty slots at the camp.

There are no limitations as to how many camps you can attend each year if you are paying the full price yourself.

Apply for a discount when signing up

You can apply for a discount at the time of signing up for a camp by filling in the discount-related fields in the child’s registration form.
