You might be wondering what is on offer to keep your kids amused<br />
through July and August. Czech kids are pretty well-catered for in<br />
this department with a range of activities from outdoor sports to<br />
music and language. But what about the younger expat set? What’s<br />
on offer for them? No worries, there are a range of camps to suit<br />
the tastes of both your creatively inclined offspring as well as your<br />
budding sporting types. Eurocamp, which has been running for 15<br />
years, offers 11 day camp programs through July and August in<br />
Southern Bohemia near the Lužnice River. Activities offered include<br />
canoeing, hiking, volleyball, football, ping pong, Frisbee and forest<br />
games as well as one-day trips. It’s all supervised by English-speaking<br />
camp leaders. Greenways Biking Summer Camp for Youth is run as<br />
a joint project between Kučera Znojmo and the Czech Environmental<br />
Partnership Foundation. The camp is open for kids aged 6 to 14<br />
and, as the name suggests, the emphasis is on cycling. The camp<br />
is located at a campsite in Malý Ratmírov. Barbara Benish is an<br />
American artist who has been living in the Czech Republic since<br />
1993. The emphasis of her camp, Art Mill, is creativity. For a day<br />
camp in Prague, try RC Andílek or a similar community center with a<br />
focus on family activities in English.<br />
