CRETE, GREECE · SUMMER 2027
A great summer for them.
More clarity for you.
Sessions, daily routine, accommodation and staying in touch.
Who organises the camp?
Crete Camp brings together coaches, counsellors, organisers and our local team on Crete. Petr Yarmak is the camp organiser and Yurii Poltorzhynskyi is the camp director. Together we prepare the programme, support the children and manage daily life.
How do the sessions differ?
1–10 July is Sport Plus with two training sessions a day. 10–20 July is Sport at a gentler pace. 20–30 July is Sport Light, combining sport, games and rest. 1–10 August puts more emphasis on outings and excursions, with less training.
How much does it cost, and what about flights?
See Pricing for current fees. Flights are paid for separately, and we can help plan the journey. Children can join from different countries; flight choices and airport collection are agreed individually. Alternative arrival dates or stays may be possible if the session arrangements allow.
What is included?
Residential camp combines accommodation, meals, training, games, walks and the care of our team throughout the day. Sport Plus on 1–10 July includes two daily sessions, three meals a day and all programme excursions. The exact meal, trip and activity arrangements for other sessions are set out in their terms. Flights are separate; transfers, insurance and any additional charges must be checked before payment.
Where do children stay?
At Manos Apartments in Agios Nikolaos: four children per apartment, two per bedroom. Coaches, counsellors and organisers stay on the same site. It is our shared base after training and outings.
Is there a break during the heat?
Yes. From 14:30 to 16:00 every day we rest somewhere cool. Children can nap, read and recharge before returning to the pool, games and the afternoon programme.
Can a child join without knowing how to swim?
Absolutely! We start with simple pool exercises, building water confidence, breathing and basic movements at the child’s own level. There are also games, excursions and new friends to enjoy. Sea sessions begin only once the coach considers the participant ready.
How are children supervised?
Coaches and counsellors accompany children during activities, trips and daily life. Older participants may occasionally have limited free time in small groups, for example three, while staff are also in the town centre. This depends on age, parental consent and camp rules. Boundaries, meeting place and return time are agreed in advance.
Can I contact my child?
Children normally have time to use their phones and call home in the evening. For urgent information, contact the responsible counsellor. We provide the session contact details and communication arrangements before departure.
Do children help with meals?
Yes, taking turns with age-appropriate tasks. They help the cook, set tables and tidy up, with an adult nearby. It is part of sharing camp life and learning responsibility.
What should we pack?
Swimwear, goggles, a towel, comfortable shoes, a sun hat, sunscreen and a water bottle. We send the full packing and equipment list before the trip.
How do I reserve?
Choose a session and format, enter the details and review the summary. Residential participation has a planned 499 zł prepayment. Online payment is not connected yet: you can currently save a request without being charged. A request confirmation is not a paid reservation.
