Looking for an affordable and enjoyable summer activity for your child? We’ve put together a list of trusted organisations and places where children can have fun, make new friends, and develop new skills throughout the summer.

- InBáze organises one-off and regular activities for children and young people with a migration background as well as their Czech peers. Their summer programme is published gradually, so it’s worth checking their website regularly.

Last-Minute Day Trips and Youth Clubs (NZDM)
- If you haven’t found a summer camp, low-threshold youth clubs (NZDM) are a great alternative. During the summer, they organise day trips, sports tournaments, workshops, and other activities. Most programmes are announced shortly before they take place, and participation is free.
