2012 Adventure Day Camps

Adventure Day Camps are for younger children (ages 6–11) who may not yet be ready for a sleep-away camp experience, or for younger siblings of Salolampi villagers, there is now a way to take part in Salolampi. Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at the Finnish Language Village near Bemidji. Combine a “stay-vacation” in Minnesota’s north woods (for you!) with an experience at Salolampi’s Adventure Day Camp (for your children!)

Tervetuloa! Welcome! When you cross the border into Finnish Adventure Day Camp, you might take a Sauna followed by a plunge in the lake or play jalkapallo (soccer) or learn kankaankudonta (weaving) on a floor loom. You might see a Reindeer in the woods or a midsummer bonfire on the surface of the lake or make a “graduation cap” and celebrate the national holiday of Vappu! You’ll be surprised at how quickly you learn while having fun at the Finnish Adventure Day Camp.

Lunch is included.  Extended Day sessions and transportation from Bemidji are offered.
