Confirmation camps and other youth camps

The Marttinen youth centre has organised camps in cooperation with a range of organisations for 25 years. In planning the camps, organisers can draw on the youth centre staff’s experience and skills. The organisers and camp leaders can concentrate on their jobs, secure in the knowledge that the routines of the camp are looked after reliably and with experience by Marttinen. The idyllic, culturally historic and modern environment of Marttinen suits confirmation camps, confirmation leader training, other youth camps, sport club camps and family camps.

Confirmation camps

For confirmation camps, the Marttinen youth centre, built around the Old Vicarage building, offers a wealth of opportunities, including pleasant classrooms and a chapel for silent reflection and divine service. You can also add activities to the camps to help participants experience the themes of the camp in a practical way.

At Marttinen, it is possible to organise a confirmation camp thematically, as an adventure camp or as a green one (“Vihreä ripari”).

Confirmation camp offer in winter time

Winter camp in winter time

The Marttinen youth centre has been a popular camp centre for summer confirmation camps for 25 years. However, what if there was a confirmation camp in winter — what would it be possible to do then? The learning facilities and accommodation at the Marttinen youth centre are premises and hotel rooms that can be used year-round. That means you can add a range of themes to your camp programme, for example through the wide range of activities Marttinen offers. Marttinen also has a special winter confirmation camp offer which can save you money.

Sport group camps

Sport camps in Marttinen and in Virrat

Camps for sport groups can include sport-specific exercises which take advantage of our wide range of exercise opportunities. Our multifunctional hall and outdoor pitches suit games and exercises. Our professional instructors safely help participants develop coordination and group work skills, for example by climbing on the high ropes course, indoor climbing wall, ice climbing tower, railway bridge or rock. Other forms of exercise available, which can provide some variety, are snow-shoe walking, canoeing, kicksled trips or rambling treks.

In addition to these opportunities, the nearby sports areas and sports halls, such as the Virtain Ice Arena - Erkan Areena, together with Marttinen's dining and accommodation opportunities, provide opportunities for diverse training and hobby camps.

Other youth camps

Camps for youth groups

The aim of a youth camp organiser is to be able to give the group the chance to learn new things about its hobby, strengthen the group spirit and/or develop social skills for life. Marttinen offers excellent surroundings for this through its diverse activities and the camp programmes we plan in cooperation with our clients.

The Marttinen youth centre is a good venue for larger youth camps and events of 150–200 people. In addition to the largest meeting room, which accommodates 200, there are about seven smaller meeting and group work rooms nearby, making a wide range of activities possible. We can organise activity workshops and activities for larger events, too. At Marttinen, everything is within arm’s reach and still right in the middle of nature. The Virrat traditional village (Virtain Perinnekylä) is in the same area, surrounded by water.
