How Wonderful It Was in Zubrzyca

We came back happy! This year’s edition of the Family Sports Holiday was the best so far. Although the weather was not kind to us, the excellent facilities of Orawski Dwór and the superbly planned schedule made this camp exceptional.

 

We came to Zubrzyca Górna for the second time. Our choice of Orawski Dwór was based on what the resort offers its guests. The rooms meet a high hotel standard, and their varied layouts meant that every family could feel comfortable. The building has its own valuable corners: a gym and training room, reading nooks, a TV room, a mini play centre, a playroom for little ones, a bowling alley, and tables for table tennis, air hockey and billiards.

The SPA was especially popular. We could make unlimited use of the large swimming pool and the shallow pool with a slide. There were also two saunas and a jacuzzi. An additional feature, but one particularly appreciated by the female members of the camp, was the massage room.

 

Thanks to this, we were able to function extremely efficiently. The families were divided into three age groups: Małe Smoki, meaning preschoolers; big dragons, meaning independent children; and old dragons, meaning parents and guardians.

For the younger children, we organised training sessions indoors and outdoors, educational activities during which they learned to tell the time and tie their shoes, mini-disco, reading and watching cartoons, as well as sports competitions. The older children also had swimming lessons organised in the pool.

 

The parents trained as well. Every day, training took place under the shelter, where the old dragons lifted weights, hit punching bags and boxed. Aqua fitness was also offered for those with ambition. Later in the evenings, there were also activities and integration events for adults.

 

Taking advantage of a break in the weather, the whole group visited Wypasiona Dolina. The youngest participants first mastered the mini rope park and then the boats. The older ones tackled the higher climbing and zip-line routes, successfully battling trembling muscles and a fear of heights.

 

The excellent food must not be overlooked either. Breakfast was served as a buffet from 8 to 10 a.m., and the choice of food and drinks was enormous. Lunch was truly restaurant-quality. Dinner also consisted of a wide selection of cold cuts, salads and hot dishes.

 

There is a strong possibility that we will go to Zubrzyca again next year. Then we will be able to enjoy further attractions, including outdoor swimming pools, a jacuzzi and a graduation tower.
