Leirikesä is a nonprofit camp association backed by the capital region's scouts, running camps for kids aged 7 to 16 during school holidays. Overnight camps, all in Finnish, happen at Kiljava in Hyvinkää and Kesärinne in Tuusula; Kiljava's summer camps are tent villages with lake swimming, canoeing, climbing walls and crafts.
Scout-led day camps run near home across the capital region, with programs in Finnish, Swedish, or English and Finnish.
