About
A week-long tent camp run by volunteers from YMCA Schilderskwartier in The Hague, held in Paleispark Het Loo, the royal forest estate outside Apeldoorn. Kids sleep in tents of three to five, eat in a marquee and spend the days on scavenger hunts, night walks, forest games, swimming and campfires, ending with a talent-show evening. No phones or game consoles. It suits kids ready for a week away from home.
