Confirmation camps and other youth camps

The Youth Centre Marttinen has been organizing camps in collaboration with various partners for over 30 years. In planning the camps, the experience and expertise of the youth center staff are at the organizers' disposal. Organizers and camp leaders can focus on their own tasks, as the routines of the camps are efficiently managed by Marttis with confidence and experience. Marttis's idyllic, culturally historical, and yet modern setting is suitable for confirmation camps, leader training, other youth camps, sports club camps, and family camps

Confirmation camps

Confirmation camps year around in Marttinen

For confirmation camps, the Marttinen youth centre, built around the Old Vicarage building, offers a wealth of opportunities, including pleasant classrooms and a chapel for silent reflection and divine service. You can also add activities to the camps to help participants experience the themes of the camp in a practical way.

At Marttinen, it is possible to organise a confirmation camp thematically, as an adventure camp or as a green one (“Vihreä ripari”).

For congregations’ use:
Marttinen’s own chapel, communion vessels, hymn and choir books, songbooks, guitar, grand piano, electric piano, nature walk, lean-to or hut.

Sport group camps

Sport camps in Marttinen and in Virrat

Camps for sport groups can include sport-specific exercises which take advantage of our wide range of exercise opportunities. Our multifunctional hall and outdoor pitches suit games and exercises. Our professional instructors safely help participants develop coordination and group work skills, for example by climbing on the high ropes course, indoor climbing wall, ice climbing tower, railway bridge or rock. Other forms of exercise available, which can provide some variety, are snow-shoe walking, canoeing, kicksled trips or rambling treks.

In addition to these opportunities, the nearby sports areas and sports halls, such as the Virtain Ice Arena - Erkan Areena, together with Marttinen's dining and accommodation opportunities, provide opportunities for diverse training and hobby camps.

Other youth camps

Camps for youth groups

The aim of a youth camp organiser is to be able to give the group the chance to learn new things about its hobby, strengthen the group spirit and/or develop social skills for life. Marttinen offers excellent surroundings for this through its diverse activities and the camp programmes we plan in cooperation with our clients.

The Marttinen youth centre is a good venue for larger youth camps and events of 150–200 people. In addition to the largest meeting room, which accommodates 200, there are about seven smaller meeting and group work rooms nearby, making a wide range of activities possible. We can organise activity workshops and activities for larger events, too. At Marttinen, everything is within arm’s reach and still right in the middle of nature. The Virrat traditional village (Virtain Perinnekylä) is in the same area, surrounded by water.
