About Camp Spando


SPANDO SUMMER CAMPS FOR CHILDREN were born out of a passion for working with children and our love for nature, and are the extended format over a period of 5 days of the school trips that I organized whenever I had the opportunity, until then, as of physical education teacher. Our experiences as Leaders of camp activities in the United States of America and Croatia, the training and improvement courses within the American Camping Association that we followed, and our participation in the Work and Travel training were fundamentally theoretical and practical, which gave us gave confidence that we can do at least as well compared to others what we are doing now.

The satisfaction in the children's eyes every time they overcome new challenges, when they ask for involvement, and the glimmer of joy they have when they are appreciated for a job well done or personal achievement, gives us the strength to move forward, to improve continuously and the certainty that we have chosen one of the most beautiful jobs that exist: that of training people.
