EFC is a long-term major funder of Estonian summer camps

Once again, Jõekääru and Seedrioru offered children an unforgettable summer. The two camps accommodated more than 400 participants over 4 weeks!

The campers got to study Estonian, learn folk dancing, try their hand at chess and leatherwork, practice volleyball, polish their outdoor skills, and most importantly, make friends for life! Suur aitäh korraldajatele ja peredele!
