YEPP is excited to invite young people aged 9–17 to our four-day October Camp in Helsinki!
This year’s camp explores the themes “Growing Up in a Multicultural Home” and “Hacking Your Parents.” The camp provides a welcoming and interactive space where young people can meet others, share experiences, explore different cultures, have fun and learn from one another.
