From June 16 to 27, Vamvakou Summer Camp will host a hundred children ages 6 to 12 from Sparta and the wider Laconia region for two weeks of games, learning, and time travel with a view of Mount Parnon.
This year's summer camp, organized by Vamvakou Revival as part of the Vamvakou Revival initiative with exclusive support from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF), incorporates sports, STEAM, archaeology, and contact with nature.
From mythological tours and dance to robotics workshops, film, theatre play, botanical expeditions, and bee seed bombs, the program offers daily five-hour sessions of learning, imagination, and creativity.
Educators and cultural institutions are flocking to Vamvakou this summer. ATTHICF - Athens International Children's Film Festival will return, joined by the Goulandris Natural History Museum, The Bee Camp, and the Sparta Public Central Library.
