CHILDREN’S DAY CAMP “WATER ADVENTURES”

22.06 – 26.06.2026
06.07 – 10.07.2026
03.08 – 07.08.2026

Kayak, SUP, or sailing boat – if you are wondering which one your child would enjoy most, the best option is to try them all!

During the 5-day “Water Adventures” camp, children will have the opportunity to learn how to operate a sailing boat and discover the basic principles of sailing. They will test their balance skills on a paddle board and, of course, paddle a kayak!

The camp is conducted by the experienced coaches of Bulsailing Sports Club at the Iskar Sailing Base. Activities are organized in the form of varied training sessions, including the children’s active participation in rigging and preparing the yachts, short warm-up exercises for general physical fitness, maneuver simulations on a training simulator, and water activities involving sailing boats, kayaks, and paddle boards. Specific activities are adjusted according to weather conditions. Training sessions last approximately 6 hours, starting around 10:00 AM and ending around 4:00 PM. Return to Sofia is around 5:30 PM each day.

Oh, and don’t forget to bring your swimsuit, because during the August heat there is nothing better than cooling off in the water!
