Fairy tale camp for the families of the Lääne-Harju rural municipality (Vasalemma)

A fun language learning camp for families whose first language is not Estonian. Parents and their children aged 7–18 years living in the Lääne-Harju rural municipality are very welcome to participate.

At the camp, we will listen to fairy tales, create fairy tales and films ourselves, play, and participate in lots of other fun activities.

The goal of the camp is to study Estonian through playing and increase the courage to speak. The activities will be conducted in Estonian.

The exciting fairy tale camp takes place on two weekends:
• on 23–24 July at 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on both days at the Vasalemma Basic School (Lemmaru village) and
• on 30–31 July at 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on both days at the Paldiski Gymnasium (56 Rae, Paldiski).

You can also participate on both weekends.

We offer on-site catering and a varied programme. Transport has been arranged from Paldiski to Vasalemma. Participation is free.
