Tabere Straja – A story about the summer camps

Out of love for the mountains, for movement and for healthy food, out of a desire to give new generations the childhood of times past, with the help of passionate specialists, we created Tabere Straja. Our hosts are the guesthouses at an altitude of 1400 m, in the Straja resort, in the heart of the Vâlcan mountains, a mountain group of the Retezat-Godeanu Mountains.
"Tabere Straja changes destinies" – a bold statement that children, parents and instructors alike have made in turn. We all know that positive change happens when we step out of our comfort zone. That's why our program is made up of a wide range of activities, carefully chosen by specialists from different fields: physical-education and sports teachers, mountain rescuers, ski and snowboard instructors, psychologists, nutritionist-dieticians, art, music and dance teachers, doctors and athletes of national and international renown.
From the very first hours of camp, the participants get to know their surroundings: the slopes where they ski in winter, the Heroes' Cross, the adventure parks, the Straja Hermitage, Baloo the bear, the sheepfold, beech and fir forests, and they take in the peaks of over 2500 m, Păpușa and Peleaga.
Children of all ages, arriving from all over the country, get to know each other through games as well as through free conversation. Games have a powerful appeal for children and teenagers and an educational value through their wealth of ideas, by heightening emotions and engaging the intellect and the spirit of organization — that is why they are a core activity in our camps, alongside the adventure park trail and the hikes.
The children's artistic side is developed through stone painting, dance choreography and gymnastics, but also through the nutrition and psychology lessons. In the evening, we enjoy fun activities: a campfire, parties, an open-air film, a talent show and cabin games. We place great emphasis on keeping to the schedule, mutual respect, discipline and hygiene, with the participants being equal in front of the instructors. Of course, safety comes first at Tabere Straja.
