Oslo, the capital city of Norway, is not only known for its stunning natural beauty but also for its diverse range of summer camps that provide children with a unique and enriching experience. These camps offer a wide array of activities that cater to various interests, ensuring that every child can find their perfect summer adventure. In this blog post, we will explore some of the best summer camps in Oslo, where children can learn, grow, and create lifelong memories.

1. Skimore Oslo – Summer Park (June 29 – Aug 18)

Skimore Oslo – Summer Park is divided into 12 trails with varying degrees of difficulty. There are over 200 elements in the park, which also includes more than 1,000 metres of zip-lines. Entry into the climbing park includes all the necessary equipment and training for a safe and thrilling day high in the treetops. The park’s ultimate thrill is probably Tigerspranget (“The Tiger Leap”), where you will experience a 13-metre free fall before being lowered gently to the ground.

You are free to bring your own food to the park’s barbeque and picnic areas.

2. Oslo Tennisklubb Kids Camp (June 23 – August 11)

Tennis training teaches children discipline and dedication to reaching the goals in sport and in life. As most physical activity, tennis classes for kids are very beneficial for health and well-being of children.

OTK Junior tennis camps tend to accommodate children of ages between 6-16 and all levels of ability. Tennis summer camps teach campers proper footwork and the required body mechanics in addition to other fundamental skills required for this sport. Campers learn how to play not only as singles but also as doubles. In our camp the main focus is tennis but we also offer other activities such as swimming, kids Olympics, fitness training among others, to make the program more fun and interesting for kids.
