Slovenian World Congress organizes 20^th Youth camp for Teenagers of Slovenian Origin from Abroad from July 30 to August 6 2016 in CŠOD Planinka, close to Maribor.

The main purpose of Youth camp is to bring Slovenia closer to minds and hearts of youngsters who live abroad. Divided in small groups of 6 teenagers and one group leader – animator, we discover the beauty of landscapes and different cultural monuments, culture and national identity of Slovenia. Mornings are reserved for slovenian language lessons in more relaxed atmosphere. Organizers and group leaders encourage the use of slovenian language among participants in mondane conversation. Teenagers with no previous knowledge of slovenian language are also most welcome to the camp. Making new friendships whit peers who share a common bond and come from all around the globe is an adventure and a great life experience.
