Overview

The Trekking Hellas Summer Camp in Pertouli, situated at an altitude of 1,000 meters, is nestled within one of the most beautiful forests in Greece. At the foot of Kerketeio Mountain (Koziakas) — known for its unique variety of wild herbs — lies the Pertouli University Forest, a protected area within the NATURA 2000 network.

Since 2008, the camp has offered every summer a safe, well-organised, and joyful environment where children can experience adventure and the magic of nature through unique outdoor activities. Each day is filled with exploration, play, and new experiences — always guided by experienced staff.

Our philosophy is based on experiential learning, encouragement, teamwork, and, of course… fun! Activities for each age group are designed to match the abilities of the children, ensuring everyone feels comfortable, safe, and proud of what they accomplish.

Hiking, hiking to the summit of Koziakas, river trekking, rafting on the Aliakmonas River, exciting excursions, mountain living, and many other thrilling activities enrich the campers’ days.

Children have the opportunity to live unique experiences and will return home with new friendships and memories that will stay with them forever!
