Aurinko camp

Aurinko is one of the main projects of the «Ingermanland educational and scientific center». It is an international language camp, which was founded in 2000. Aurinko is not just a language camp with a rich history, a thoughtful and exciting language and extensive entertainment program, but a project is managed in frames of the near-border cooperation program, supported by Finnish and Russian governments, aimed at strengthening the popularisation of Finnish and international English languages.

Aurinko camp`s mission:

Creating a positive environment that encourages you to discover yourself by virtue of travelling, personal development, learning languages and cultures in different countries. We believe in unconditional acceptance of yourself and the world around.

Our camp locations are at Punkaharju, Finland and at Salisbury, England!
