Istra Outdoor Teens Camp – test your limits, experience more.
Teenagers of today are not short of content – they are short of real experiences. Instead of screens, they need challenges, a team and the real world. That is exactly what the Istra Outdoor Teens Camp offers.
It is designed for teenagers seeking adventure, adrenaline and greater independence. With real challenges, they do not participate passively – they take initiative, make decisions and push their own limits, with the support of their peers and camp leaders.
Teenagers spend their days outdoors, far from screens, taking part in adventure activities such as kayaking, ziplining, a speleo adventure, off-road driving, karting, an adrenaline park and paintball, as well as team challenges. The programme also includes educational activities in cooperation with the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service (HGSS) and other guest experts – wilderness skills, orientation, knot tying, basic first aid, as well as STEAM and creative workshops.
Through real-life situations and collaboration with their peers, they develop independence, resourcefulness, responsibility and leadership skills. Each day brings new physical, mental and team challenges that build confidence and a sense of belonging.
Evenings are reserved for socialising, pub quizzes, night walks or an open-air cinema.
The camp is based on many years of experience and provides a safe environment that encourages development, responsibility and connection. At the end of the week, teenagers leave more independent, more confident and enriched with friendships and experiences that last long after the summer ends.
