Cheap Camps, What Are the Cheapest Leisure Offers for Children?

The cost of a child's camp can vary depending on several factors such as location, duration, the program and attractions offered by the organizer, meals, accommodation, and additional transportation costs.

The location of the camp significantly impacts the price. Camps organized in popular tourist destinations or abroad are often more expensive than those in less known places. Also, the duration of the camp is an important factor. Camps lasting a few days will generally be cheaper than those that last several weeks. One of the cheaper offers is:

The 13-day trip program includes sports activities, mountain trips, karaoke, and pool games. The cost is 1899 PLN and it also includes departure from Poznań. In this offer, the daily cost is 158.3 PLN, which is significantly below the average (288.4 PLN average daily price for camps).

What is the Most Expensive Trip?

With a budget of over 20,000, you can send your child to Miami (USA):

At a price of 17490 + 4500 PLN (airfare), a teenager (12-18 years old) can spend 16 days (excluding travel) on a language course. Currently, this is the most expensive offer on our portal.

Why Are Camps Expensive?

The program and attractions offered by the organizer are another element that affects the camp's price. Thematic camps offering specialized activities, such as foreign language learning, extreme sports, or artistic activities, may be more expensive due to the costs of instructors and specialized equipment or materials.

How Much Does a Camp Abroad Cost?

A trip abroad does not necessarily mean spending tens of thousands. Our database includes camps to Greece or Bulgaria, which cost only slightly more than domestic trips and certainly offer a higher chance of sunny weather. A competitively priced offer is a trip to Bulgaria:

Price 2050 PLN + 100 euros for an 11-day stay with transportation. The plan includes a dolphinarium, a boat cruise, and, of course, beach time.

How Much Does a Sports Camp Cost?

The price of sports camps strongly depends on the level of advancement and the type of sport. Some of the more expensive camps are those with an advanced horseback riding program:

A 7-day holiday in the saddle costs 1700 PLN, the price includes a rich riding program and meals. The offer does not include transportation.

In the sports camp offerings, you will find activities like tennis, windsurfing, quad biking, swimming, running, cycling, martial arts, and many more. Year after year, camps with influencers and for gamers become more popular, with new technologies appearing in camps in the form of VR glasses activities or learning how to operate streaming equipment.

For many parents, the price is an important factor, and it's worth remembering that sending a child to camp is an investment in their development, acquiring new skills, independence, and unforgettable memories, but we should choose a trip suited to our financial capabilities.
