16 years of raising strong children in the mountains

We're the team behind the camps at Straja, a place where children learn to ski, to manage on their own and to love being active outdoors.

Our story

It all started from a simple belief: a child grows up well when they spend time in nature, stay active and learn things they can't pick up at a school desk. Așa au apărut taberele Straja, la munte, la peste 1.400 de metri altitudine, în stațiunea Straja din Munții Vâlcan.

For over 16 years we have organized ski, adventure and health camps for children and teenagers. In that time, over 20,000 children have skied for the first time, made new friends and gone home more confident than they came.

"We don't just run camps. We build memories and healthy habits that stay with children for life."

We work with certified ski instructors, supervisors and medical staff, at a ratio of 1 instructor to a maximum of 10 children when skiing and 1 supervisor to 10-20 children in summer, so that every child is safe and gets genuine attention. Accommodation is with full board, in verified conditions, close to the slopes.

Today, Tabere Straja means summer and winter camps, our own ski school and dedicated programs, including for children who want to take up a healthier lifestyle.

What guides us

Four values we believe in and that shape every camp we run.

Safety

Certified instructors, medical staff and clear rules. The child's safety always comes first.

Education

Children learn a new skill, skiing, along with life skills: independence, respect, teamwork.

Health

Activity in fresh air, good food and a real break from screens. Come back to HEALTH.

Joy

Laughter, new friends and memories. A successful camp is, above all, one where the child felt good.

Behind every camp lies a passion for the mountains and for children. Marius started this project with the wish to bring as many children as possible onto the slopes and to show them that sport and nature can transform them.

Under his coordination, a team of dedicated instructors and chaperones has taken shape, welcoming thousands of children to Straja year after year, many of whom come back season after season.
