Summer in the nature for children 7-15 and 12-17 years old
About: MILIAS CAMPS summer camps have been operating since 1997, offering children and teenagers accommodation, activities and sports close to nature, always accompanied, supervised and guided by teachers and experts, in conditions of maximum safety.
During their stay at the camp, the children have the opportunity to walk on beautiful mountain paths, cycle on dirt roads between fields, green slopes and streams, swim in frozen river waters but also in the large swimming pool of MILIAS VILLAGE, explore one of the caves in the area, climb on an artificial climbing track but also on routes in a nearby rock field, play, test their archery skills and feel victorious when after a long effort they reach one of its highest peaks of Greece, in Liakoura and Gerontobrachos of Parnassos, in the Pyramid of Giona and in Korakas of Vardousia.
Children return home more mature, tougher, fitter and more independent, happy and with a love for the natural environment and all we can do in it.

It should be noted that the parents who will bring their children they do NOT stay on our camp for more than a few minutes, as much as is necessary to inform us about any particularities of their child. The same applies when picking up children. For practical reasons, they will not be able to stay on the MILIAS CAMPS premises except as long as necessary, in order to pick up their children.
Arrival: 17.00-19.00
Departure: 10.00-12.00
NOTE: Children's arrival and departure times should be strictly observed so that there is time for cleaning, disinfection and ventilation of common areas and rooms.
Our rules
1. In absolutely necessary transports by bus, van or car, the instructions of the state civil protection are followed.
2. During the hours when we do not have activities, the children move around the common areas freely or stay in their room, and they are not allowed to stay in other rooms, except their own.
3. Το κάθε παιδί πίνει νερό από το παγούρι του το οποίο έχει στο ψυγείο του (το κάθε σπιτάκι έχει το δικό του ψυγείο). Σημειωτέον ότι αν και στο camp υπάρχει η δυνατότητα αγοράς εμφιαλωμένου νερού, το νερό του δικτύου είναι πόσιμο και εξαιρετικής ποιότητας.
4. In the toilets of the rooms there is cream soap (but no shampoo or toothpaste), while the attendants of milias camps subtly check the children and intervene with advice (when necessary), on matters concerning their individual cleanliness and hygiene.
5. During the overnight stays on the mountain, an attempt is made to sleep children who stay in the same room in the same tent.
6. The pool is used daily by groups and operates with chlorine.
7. Each child will bring with him a light sleeping bag, two sheets, a pillowcase, camping mat and towels for the pool but also for cleaning, preferably all colored so that everyone can easily recognize theirs and there is no confusion between them.
8. Regarding the communication between the parents and the children, the camp has a landline phone that the parents can use to talk to their child at a time when this is easy. The time periods in which we eat are recommended (morning 8.30-9.30 and lunch 14.00-15.00). In the evening it is good to avoid communication, as it causes the children worry and homesickness. If the phone sometimes does not answer, parents should not worry as the camp program depends on various factors and changes with the safety and fun of the children in mind. It should be noted that the children will not have access to the phone, that is, they will not be able to contact their parents at any time, unless there is a real need, in which case someone responsible from the accompanying teachers will call the parent himself.
9. Mobile' s use:Although they are not prohibited, we recommend that parents do not give their children mobile phones or tablets. However, if a child has a cell phone with them,in which the parental control application must necessarily have been activated by the parentsupon arrival at the camp, he hands it over to the person in charge and takes it back every noon after eating, for two hours, that is, until the start of the afternoon activity (around 3-5pm every day). It should be noted that although there is WiFi in the area, its code is not given to the children.
10. At the end of the week, we upload all the photos we took during the camp to Google drive and then email the link so parents can download the photos and videos from that period. Thus, parents will have the opportunity after the end of the week to watch them with their child and be happy with everything he did and learned at the camp.
With all the above facts, the children who will participate will have the opportunity without problem and without discounts to walk on beautiful paths, play and swim in a small river in the area, have fun in the pool, go mountain biking and get to know climbing techniques on specially equipped rocks in the area and on our artificial track. Archery, shooting etc. will complete the program while outdoor camps will be organized in the beautiful meadows of Parnassos, Oita and Giona.
