“I am very happy Teta Nadi convinced my parents to let me come to camp. 
I was tired of always staying home and doing house chores. At camp I made 
new friends, played fun and interesting games, learned new things and read 
a lot of stories and books! I was never tired and always happy!”
, said Xh. a 
12 year girl from Elbasan.
“I am happy to see my kid happy. I hope this camp will continue for many 
years to come,” 
responded the father of a camp participant.

SUMMER CAMPS GUIDELINE
 
6.1 Important Aspects of Planning Activities with Children
The CPU in cooperation with the summer camp personnel should take into account 
that the summer camp activities in addition to meeting the objectives of summer 
camps should reflect the perspective and needs initially expressed by children, 
parents and Community Counselling Groups. Furthermore, summer camp personnel 
members should be able to adapt daily program and the program of the following 
week according to the group dynamics, needs and problems which may be identified 
and presented by children during the time they participate in the camp. In principle, 
it is recommended that planning activities include all of the following aspects 
simultaneously:
 
Learning and entertainment aspect.
 
Sensitizing a about child protection issues, and development of self 
protection knowledge
 
Informative aspect about child’s rights. 
 
Promoting participation of children.
 
Involvement of children without discrimination (race, gender, ethnicity, 
socio-economic level). 
 
Adapting activities to the children’s age group and developing capacity 
related to duration of activity, level of difficulty, dynamics, intensity, etc. 
 
Positive contribution for children to be able to increase self-confidence, 
cooperation with others, open communication and integration. 
 
Be informative of the value of schooling by preparing children to return 
to school after the summer is over. 
 
Positive promotion of cultural traditional values. 
An activities calendar should be drafted in detail on a daily and weekly basis and be 
placed somewhere visible so that children, parents/caretakers can always be informed 
about all relevant information.
