Eight to twelve is the age when a week away starts to sound exciting instead of scary. These are the camps that take kids in that band: day camps with sports, languages, art and robotics close to home, plus sleepaway camps in the mountains and by the sea. Each camp's own age rule decides who's on the list, so open a camp for its dates, price and transport.
A week of winter break spent entirely in English, in small mentor groups at Equilibrio Kids language centers around Belgrade. Days mix language games and group games, creative and conversation workshops, music, dance and sport, with time outdoors in nearby parks and an excursion. Each winter brings a new theme, like recording a music video in a studio. Kids need some English already, since everything runs in it.
A sleepaway winter camp at Gočko, a children's lodge in the beech and fir forest of Mount Goč, above Vrnjačka Banja. Days mix snow tubing, snowball fights, a zip line, buggy driving, fencing, zorbing and bubble football with chess and drama, dance and music workshops. Evenings bring parties, karaoke and a costume ball. Kids travel by coach from Belgrade with teachers and animators, and sleep in en-suite rooms.
A sleepaway ski trip to Kopaonik, Serbia's biggest ski resort, run by the Moj Super Raspust team. Kids travel together by coach and stay at the Srebrnac lodge in rooms of four to six, each with its own bathroom, with a sports court on site. Teachers and coaches lead the groups, with medical cover around the clock. Suits kids ready for a week away from home.
A sleepaway camp at the Gočko children's lodge, deep in the beech and fir forest of Goč mountain above Vrnjačka Banja.

Suits kids ready for a few nights away with school friends.
A week-long ski camp on Kopaonik run by Bushido Kids, a Belgrade sports school. Kids sleep at the Mašinac lodge, high on the mountain at Pajino preslo, and spend six days on the slopes working on their technique.

A winter camp at Hotel Beli Bor on Tara, the forested mountain in western Serbia. Days mix snow play (snowtubing, snowball battles, a zip line, buggy rides) with fencing, zorbing, bubble football, chess, drama and dance workshops, and scout-style walks and orienteering. Evenings bring parties, karaoke, a costume ball and quizzes.
It suits kids ready for a week away who like a busy, group-based program.
A screen-free winter break camp run by Dečiji inovacioni centar (DIC) at its own Belgrade centers. Kids build and program LEGO robots, work through electronics and physics workshops and run science experiments, with outdoor games when the weather allows and two outings to nearby museums or science institutions. Groups are small and split by age and experience, so beginners and kids who already code both fit.
A sleepaway ski trip to Kopaonik, Serbia's biggest ski resort, based at an apart-hotel in Brzeće. Each day kids ride the gondola up to the slopes, where licensed instructors sort them into groups of six to ten by level and ski with them for about three hours. Animators and coaches run winter games in the day, and evenings bring a costume ball, a disco, a talent show and karaoke.
A sleepaway ski camp on Kopaonik run by the STEPA sports school, based at Hotel Junior in Brzeće. Kids ski with instructors from mid-morning to mid-afternoon, then rest at the hotel and join evening workshops. The first two sessions are for kids who already ski. The third also takes beginners, who start on the hotel's own slope and move up to the main resort once instructors judge them ready.
