Finding a camp a teenager won't roll their eyes at is half the battle. Every camp on this list takes kids 13 and up, from day camps in the city to overnight stays out by the lakes. Think sailing, skateboarding, sports, theater and coding, with a skill to show for the week. Open any card for the dates, price and age rule.
An overnight winter camp in the Finnish countryside near Helsinki, run in English for kids from any country. The sample program spends the days on snow and ice: snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, sledding, ice fishing and building snow shelters, plus sauna, Finnish baking and culture workshops. Kids sleep two to a hotel room with all meals included. It suits kids who are ready for nights away from home.
A school-holiday day camp at EVS, the tennis club based at Cherry Arena in Espoo's Martinkallio. Kids split the day between tennis in the indoor hall, led by the club's coaches and camp leaders, and other sports and outdoor games around it. Full-day campers get a home-cooked lunch made at the hall. Half-day places, morning or afternoon, keep the focus on tennis.
A relaxed floorball camp run by M-Team, a Helsinki floorball club, over the February ski holiday. Kids play and compete on the rink and off it, with passing, shooting and dekeing drills between games, then wind down in the clubhouse with quizzes and PlayStation.
It is open to beginners as well as club players. Kids are split into small groups, and each day is planned around their ages and skill.
