Four to seven is when a first camp starts to make sense: old enough for a day of swimming, riding or football with new friends, young enough that short days and a gentle pace still matter. We gathered the camps that take kids in this age band, from sports schools to farm and riding camps. Each camp sets its own age rule, so check the listing before you book.
A holiday day camp at Hågelby 4H-gård, the children's farm in Hågelbyparken south of Stockholm. Kids help run the stable, mucking out and caring for the farm's sheep, goats, rabbits and horses, then play and learn outside. Lunch is a packed one eaten outdoors with no microwave, so it suits kids who love animals and don't mind the cold.
