Children’s Camp

Summer 2024 Camp Dates: July 14 to August 11, 2024!

The aim of Camp Sidrabene is to provide each camper with the opportunity to meet his or her needs in a broad based program in a Latvian atmosphere. A broad range of activities in a safe environment will provide positive support for children to strive for personal achievement, to cultivate positive relationships with campers and staff, and to develop respect for nature and the environment. The maintenance of valued camp and Latvian traditions, a Christian atmosphere, new ideas and activities and recognition of the needs, talents and personalities of each child will serve as the framework for camp each summer.

The camp is bilingual (Latvian and English), runs seasonally every summer and is for children ages 4-13. Campers 14-16 are welcome to join our CIT (Counsellor-in-training) program to prepare for becoming part of our staff group as of age 16!
