Report from the Family Sports Holiday in Zubrzyca Górna – Session 1
Family sports holidays combine relaxation with active time spent among those closest to us. The youngest participants have the opportunity to experience camp life in the company of their family. Organized activities for children and parents take place every day. This year, the weather was not kind to us, but nobody was bored anyway. See for yourselves!
Orawski Dwór is a guesthouse located in a picturesque area with views of the Tatra Mountains and Babia Góra. The place is wonderfully arranged with families with children in mind. Outside, there is a huge open area, a sports field and a playground. Of course, whenever the weather allowed, the group actively enjoyed the charming grounds.
Every day after breakfast together, the children had a total of 3 hours of sports, arts and educational activities. A particularly special task turned out to be designing their own T-shirt. Participants had fabric paints and a white T-shirt at their disposal, which they painted according to their own vision.
The swimming-pool activities also took place at noon. This session was attended by children aged 5 to 8. Their swimming skills varied, but progress in learning this activity was visible every day. The coaches tried to make the children as comfortable as possible in the water and help them overcome their fear. The exercises were performed in groups and individually, with equipment such as pool noodles and kickboards proving helpful. The activities were definitely a success!
After an afternoon rest, training sessions were held for the children and for parents who wished to participate. This is a fantastic initiative, as parents do not have to wonder who will look after their little one. The classes for older participants are general-development sessions with elements of taekwon-do, and are therefore intended for both beginners and advanced participants.
Many people faced their weaknesses during a trip to the “Wypasiona Dolina” high ropes course. The venue offers options for the youngest children as well as slightly older ones :) There was plenty of fun!
Taking advantage of the wonderful weather, the group went on a trip to the open-air museum in Zubrzyca. The museum is located in the Orawa Ethnographic Park. To make the visit more varied, the children took part in a quest whose answers indicated the way forward.
The evening routine for the children consisted of a mini disco and reading stories. Each camper could end the day dancing to the best-known children’s hits and listening to a favorite story while cuddling their teddy bear. After a day full of attractions, falling asleep quickly is guaranteed!
