Summer camp for children and youth in Croatia -Euroclub Šolta

CAMP POSITION

ACCOMMODATION

The location of summer camp Euroclub is ideal and safe place for its purpose. We are not a large touristic place, but the camp dealing only with children and youth.

Students are accommodated in bungalows above the beautiful pebbled beach. There are 15 bungalows under one hundred years old pine trees. Each bungalow has four rooms with 4-6 beds, two toilets and shower.

 

• Beside the clearest sea and wonderful beach with Sea park Extravaganza, there are four sport courts (sand, artificial grass and concrete), playroom, mini adventure polygon, target shooting polygon (air gun and archery), miniature golf, computer room with free open air internet connection, pizzeria, restaurant with 250 places and disco club (free – only for students). The Sea Park has waterslide, trampolines, sea pyramid, ice berg, water polo, water volleyball, canoes, pedal boats, rolling trotter and sea walking ball. During their stay, all the students are insured.

• For their safety there are guards 24 hours a day, beach guards, medical care on the island, and constant care of their teachers, counsellors and other staff.

RESTAURANT

• Food
  • The meals are organized in the 'self service' restaurant. For breakfast they choose from butter, marmalade, honey, soft cheese, pate, cereals and tea, milk or cacao. For lunch they have a soup every day, followed by main course with salad. For the main course, they choose from three different menus. For dinner they also have a choice of three cooked menus. We have a number of complaints from students concerning food – 99% of them without a real reason. I used to be so frustrated because of this until my own children grew a bit and I realized – that's it! They always complain about food no matter what! At least one of the three menus should be to student's liking, so they should be fine. The teachers will be with them during meal time, and if they really don't like something, they should talk to them and ask for help.

PARENTS

• Who is the camp for?
  • The camp is for children and youth 7-18 years of age. In the beginning, the groups are 'younger' tending to get 'older' as the summer progresses. So, there are no very young children in August, as there are no older teens until mid June
• What can they learn in 7 days?
• It would be great if one could learn the language in 7 days! Most of us could be polyglots in that case. Unfortunately, Euroclub can not provide this. However, it provides a great opportunity to start USING THE KNOWLEDGE OF LANGUAGE. Passive knowledge, usually learned in schools, surrounded by friends and teachers (half of them being foreign) – becomes active. There will be some revision, some new staff will be learned. All in all, bear in mind that they will have more lessons in a week than they usually have in one semester in regular school. It is important to understand that the camp is primarily about communication and use of language, with grammar structures and writing coming only after that.
• Are the lessons obligatory?
  • YES, THE LESSONS MUST BE ATTENDED?

Besides being one of the aims of the camp, we take attendance as sort of check up on students. We do not allow them to sleep during the day and then make mess throughout the night. We believe we provide very understanding bed time, and it has to be honoured. The exceptions are those students who are told by the camp doctor to stay in room.

• Are the meals obligatory?
• YES. Even when not in the mood for eating, students must be present during meals. Their teacher has a chance to notice this, find a reason and react to it if necessary. Parents of the students with special eating habits, needs or food allergies need to contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and inform her about it.
• What is the accommodation like?
• The first day upon arrival, students are divided into groups and settled into their rooms. The accommodation is organized in 15 bungalows – girls only or boys only in each. We pay attention to their wishes and try to have students of the similar age in rooms. The houses in general have four rooms with four to six beds and two toilets, wash basins and a shower. The accommodation is adjusted to student standard – colourful, but with no luxury. We ask of students to take care of their things, to make up their bed in the morning and keep the rooms tidy, allowing that way the cleaning staff to be efficient.
• What is the organization like?
  • This camp is not army style, but certain rules have to be obtained – wake up call, daily routine, lesson time table, meal time table and bed time. There is plenty of free time during the day when they can do as they wish – do some sport or fun activities, quizzes, workshops, tournaments... or simply enjoy the sun and the beach. They get their teachers the very first day. The teachers are required to take care of their group during the whole time, with help of other staff members, guards, beach guards and night guard. The doctor or a nurse also lives in the camp with students and can provide first aid.
• Food
  • The meals are organized in the 'self service' restaurant. For breakfast they choose from butter, marmalade, honey, soft cheese, pate, cereals and tea, milk or cacao. For lunch they have a soup every day, followed by main course with salad. For the main course, they choose from three different menus. For dinner they also have a choice of three cooked menus. We have a number of complaints from students concerning food – 99% of them without a real reason. I used to be so frustrated because of this until my own children grew a bit and I realized – that's it! They always complain about food no matter what! At least one of the three menus should be to student's liking, so they should be fine. The teachers will be with them during meal time, and if they really don't like something, they should talk to them and ask for help.
• Tidiness
• We take special care of the camp hygiene. Being a student camp with many children and teenagers, sometimes it gets to be really hard (picture the teen room in your house). We ask of students the minimum engagement – to make up their bed, tidy their stuff in rooms and not to throw rubbish on the camp floors. The cleaning ladies clean the rooms daily, and they clean the toilets and showers at least twice a day (even more when necessary). If there is a problem concerning hygiene or anything else in houses, students are advised to make a complaint to their teacher and he or she will make sure it goes to the right person and the problem is solved.
• Phoning home & mobile phones
  • Almost all students have cell phones, so we are not forbidding their use. However, it is limited to quiet time during the day (after lunch) or emergencies. Please, arrange with children to contact them during this hour. Also, they are not supposed to take them out or to the beach (because we find a number of cell phones in the sea every day, or someone sees it on the beach towel and takes it along). We are not responsible for any lost or stolen goods, so please make sure the gadgets students bring are cheep and simple – no need for expensive stuff. For the smartest ones – there are two phone boxes within the camp. They just need to buy a phone card at any news stand or post office. This is the cheapest, and you have no problem.
• TV, computers, internet
• Students can use the computer room or watch during free hours. However, taken into concern their way of living at home and a number of hours they spend in front of TV or computer daily, we strongly advise to take this week off – and enjoy the friendship, sea and open air activities. There is an open air internet connection, too.
