Summer Camp 2.0
August 1-5, 2018, in Skellefteå, Sweden
Are you between 6-100 years old? Welcome to the second Next Level Camp in Sweden. Our goal is to create a meeting point for taekwondo and hapkido players from all over the globe, and with all levels of experience, by arranging a summer camp out of the ordinary. Prepare yourself for five days of world class training, high quality education and having fun!
There are lots of things to do and see in northern Sweden
If you would like to witness a moose these are commonly seen in dusk or dawn. The moose is a big animal, weighing up to 550 kg and measuring 2 meters in withers. Taking the car at a slow rate into narrow forest roads with occasionally open fields hands you a good chance to spot one.
If you would like to witness a moose these are commonly seen in dusk or dawn. The moose is a big animal, weighing up to 550 kg and measuring 2 meters in withers. But don’t worry – it eats grass. Taking the car at a slow rate into narrow forest roads with occasionally open fields hands you a good chance to spot one.
Skellefteå is a bubbly, close to nature town with about 70.000 inhabitants, placed in the northern part of Sweden. Being 2 hours in car from the polar circle gives the city a magical midnight light from June to July – and multiple northern lights in winter. During your free time in Skellefteå you could do shopping, go fishing, clubbing, pay a visit to the beach, try the adventure park, enjoy a good lunch by the river or sit down at any of the several pavement cafés.
