Accomodation

Kids and Youth

We have nice newly renovated wooden houses in the farm, for the children and the youths to stay in. We use separate sleeping quarters for boys and girls, children and youths.  The first camp day, we will ask the kids wishes where they would like to sleep. We don’t want to separate friends.

Dogs

The dogs also have their own rooms. Some dogs calm down best on small safe places like in a cage, while others like a large dog kennels. It is important that the dogs also have a nice camp week, so quality kennel for the dogs is a high priority.

We have a tight schedule for the dogs all week, so therefore it is important that they rest on a sheltered, quiet room during the breaks.

Instructors

The instructors sleep in the same houses as the children, and in the immediate proximity of the youths.

Food

Kids and Youth

We make delicious and nutritious food for the children and the youth so they will have enough energy for the whole day. We also serve small snacks with fruit and water.

Dogs

For all dogs will be offered Royal Canin dry food, adapted to their needs, but you can bring your own dog food, if you so wish or if the dog has special needs.
