Czech and Slovak Sokol MN has a tradition of supporting educational, cultural, social, and athletic activities. This year, we are offering our twelfth, annual youth day camp. Because some schools are ending later and other responsibilities, we are dividing our camp over two weeks. Our program will provide campers with the opportunity to learn about Czech and Slovak heritages. It will foster personal growth through cultural enrichment and social and recreational activities. We welcome campers from all backgrounds.
Staffing
Our dynamic staff of experienced 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.
Program Enrollment
Czech and Slovak Sokol MN Cultural Day Camp enrollment is limited. Program group size will not be more than 40 campers this year. With our many volunteers, we have a very low child-to-instructor ratio.
