Under the shadow of the imposing peak of Mt Kaliakouda, on the edge of the alpine zone and at an altitude of 1.400m, is the Trekking Hellas adventure camp for kids & youth in Karpenissi. In an impressive natural environment and through a rich program of activities, kids are introduced to life close to nature. They learn to love and protect the environment. They develop spiritual, physical, and social skills and broaden their horizons. They gain autonomy, strengthen their self-esteem, test their limits, learn to share, rely on and trust one another. They create friendships, have fun, and dream! We here at Trekking Hellas aim to instill in our campers a love for nature while showing them the way to a more active life!
Hikes on beautiful mountain trails. Exciting mountain bike rides on forest roads. Flying fox, archery, and track climbing. Rafting on raging rivers. Canyoning in beautiful majestic canyons. Via Ferrata in the Black Cave. And of course, environmental activities, art and team sports enrich the children's daily program! Our summer camp in Karpenisi offers kids unique life experiences!
Our campsite is located 10 km from Megalo Horio (about 30-40 minutes) and 25 km from Karpenissi (about 50-60 minutes).
