SUMMER CAN COME - WITH THESE AWESOME RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS AND YOUNG PEOPLE

Every year, summer and the holidays that go with it are characterized not only by vacation, sun, and fun, but also by the difficulties that parents have finding childcare for their kids. The school vacation in summer lasts for nine weeks in Austria and not all parents can take time off from their jobs for this entire time, or count on relatives or friends to take care of their children.

For precisely these reasons, there is a wide range of cool recreational activities and summer camps for kids and teenages in Villach and the surrounding region. Whether focused on sports or on culture, lots of fun, action, and adventures are guaranteed.
