The focus of the Marttinen youth centre program services is in environmental, adventure and cultural heritage education. Thus we aim to promote the appreciation of traditions, reinforce people’s connection with nature and support the development of young people’s identity.
The instructors are Marttinen’s own youth work professionals or our highly skilled cooperation partners. In addition we offer students in the field the chance to participate in an apprenticeship in our safe and varied operating environment. Marttinen’s program services are developed further through interaction with children, young people and instructors.
The magnificent surrounding of Marttinen youth centre offers many possibilities to experience the different kinds of adventures. Marttinen is located in the middle of the Finnish nature with lakes and the forest and it's possible to enjoy of multitude of activities regardless of the season both in winter and in the summertime. Thanks to the Herraskoski canal built in 1907 between Lake Toisvesi and Lake Marttisenalainen and leading to Näsijärvi, it is possible to paddle around Marttinen.
In the wintertime you can try for example kick sledding in the area. You can also experience the element of ice by climbing up the ice wall or by walking on thin and breakable ice courageously and safely dressed in a rescue suit. In the summertime it's possible to descend by rope from the bluff of Toriseva and experience the charm of the natural rock faces. You can also canoe in the beautiful waters and learn for example the stand-up paddling.
Youth Centre Marttinen has constructed special environments for adventures. Marttinen’s multi-functional climbing tower and the indoor climbing wall offer safe climbing programs all year-round. All forms of climbing are exercise that develops a range of skills. Above all else, climbing builds up muscle strength, stamina and motor skills. It also trains problem-solving and concentration skills effectively.The rope is attached to the other side of the bridge from the climber and drawn under the bridge and attached to the climber. When the climber jumps down, the rope swings them like a big pendulum back and forth. This is the craziest of our height activities. It is recommended for upper-grade students and older.

Marttinen has playgrounds as well as a children’s play corner downstairs in the main building. These can be used by everyone on the island.
The trainers are Marttinen’s own youth work professionals or our highly skilled cooperation partners, who are experienced in youth work. In addition, we offer students in the field the chance to participate in an apprenticeship in our safe and varied operating environment.
When booking, it is worth telling us about any aims the group has during the camp, such as developing a common spirit, getting the quieter ones involved or preventing bullying. Our professional instructors use these aims to help plan a camp programme that will support learning and education.
When the camp starts, there will be an initial information session for the group to explain practical matters and establish the participants’ expectations of the camp. We aim for every group to have its own buddy instructor who will chat with the young people, get to know the group better and see how progress is being made towards aims.
