WHERE?
WHAT! Summer Camp takes place in beautiful Folgefonna, located in the south west part of Norway. The glacier is snow proof and has a gigantic park with many different features. All campers stay at the cozy Folgefonn Gjestetun www.folgefonn-gjestetun.no in Jonsdal, a short ride from the glacier. The hotel is located in an amazing setting right by the sea (fjord).
