Ideal participant
Amazing participants are what makes SU outstanding! That’s why we're
looking for people who are active, not afraid of water or to get wet and
who are fun to be around and to talk to. It’s absolutely necessary to be
able to face ALL activities even after an all-night party. We would gladly
welcome participants who are open-minded about new experiences,
have lots of positive energy and want to make international friends.
Can you imagine summer without water? No, wait.
Can you imagine your life without water? Eating, drinking, showering, swimming… almost
every activity needs water.
This SUmmer you’ll have an amazing opportunity to not only spend the very best time of
your life but also to see the importance of water and to experience countless water
activities!
Our trip will start at the coast of the Baltic Sea where you’ll explore the most beautiful
places of so called the Tricity – Gdynia, Sopot and the maritime capital of Poland, Gdańsk.
Imagine the feeling of warmth of the sun on your skin and the smell of the sea breeze…
How about a long walk on the Seaside Boulevard or on the beach? You’ll also get the
chance to go to Hel Peninsula by water bus, to visit a museum ship ORP Błyskawica and to
discover every little corner of the Long Lane in Gdańsk.
Filled up with positive energy we will follow the Vistula river up to Toruń, where we will meet
more water attractions, take part in Polish cooking workshop and go to Barbarka Rope
Park. Before leaving Toruń you will definitely have to taste its famous traditional
gingerbread that will give your stay an additional, spicy flavour.
Last but not least part of our trip will take place in one of the better-known Polish cities,
located by the Warta river, Poznań. Get ready to spend unforgettable time at the
Strzeszyńskie Lake near Poznań, play hare and hounds on the Ostrów Tumski Island and
visit the Lech Brewery where you’ll see how the most popular beer in Greater Poland
region is produced. Every day you will face different water games and activities that will end
up with a great water balloon battle!
So… are you ready to get wet this SUmmer?
Places visited
Gdańsk
The thousand-year-old Gdańsk is considered to be the most monument-packed city of
"Baltic Europe". Most of the monuments in Gdańsk are located near the heart of its Old
Town District, around Długa Street (the Long Lane). This is the main track of the town,
where you'll see the beautiful renovated XVI - XVII century houses. All these magnificent
buildings are overshadowed by the beautiful and monumental Main Town Hall. (the
splendid interior was renovated not so long ago)
Apart from those monuments, there are a lot more. Among them you have to mention the
Green Gate, Gdańsk Harbor or the Crane. Everyone will definitely find something
interesting in this astonishing city.
Toruń
The birthplace of Nicolaus Copernicus, a prominent trade center in the Middle Ages –
