Family Summer Camp 2025

In Greece near the sea

It is a gathering of yoga-minded families in a climate of sun, beach and playfulness in Greece. We will live a week together in a scout center, living in bungalows or tents, practicing yoga in a forested area of 40.000 square meters, going swimming, and having a space for discussions about family and spirituality, creativity, and handcrafts workshops. We are also planning a one-day sightseeing visit. Three vegetarian/Mediterranean meals a day are catered so that families can use their time for maximum play and be together.
