They stay at summer camps or on boats together with adult, trained guides who make sure that the children have a good time, coming up with fun activities to do. Kollo is a tradition that has existed for over a hundred years in the city of Stockholm.
All children who live in and are registered in the city of Stockholm who attend school classes 1–9 can apply to go to Kollo. There are many Kollo camps to choose between. At every camp, there are opportunities for swimming, hiking, sports, games and play. Some Kollo camps also have special focuses, such as theatre, filmmaking, sailing or animals. Whichever camp your child goes to, experienced and skilled adult guides will create a safe and stimulating environment for all children in the group.
Help your child choose a camp
In order for your child to have a successful stay at summer camp, it is important that you help them choose a Kollo camp. As parent or guardian, you know your child best, and you know what he or she enjoys and needs. Before choosing a camp, it is a good idea to think about the age group that fits your child, whether your child is happier in a large or small group, and how long your child can manage being away from home.
You can read about these summer camps in the Kollo catalogue (in Swedish) and on the page Find a summer camp (Hitta kollo)
