Program Information
Czech and Slovak Sokol MN has a
tradition of supporting educational, cultural, social, and athletic
activities. This year, we are offering our fifteenth, annual youth day camp.
Our program provides campers with the opportunity to learn about Czech and
Slovak heritages. It fosters personal growth through cultural enrichment and
social and recreational activities. We welcome campers from all backgrounds.

instructors and group leaders is ready to spend a memorable week with
you. They have diverse backgrounds and understand the importance of fun and
safety in activity programming.
