Fathers and Sons Weekend

The Fathers and Sons Weekend is designed as shared time for fathers and sons. The programme includes camp olympics, outdoor games and activities, and beach sauna in the evenings. There are no age restrictions.

Price with full board and own bed linen (accommodation and meals, shower and toilet in shared facilities):
- father 150 €
- son 75 €

For an additional fee you can get a more comfortable room with private toilet and shower (20 €/night/room) or bed linen (15 €/person). Participation for one or two days gives a -10 % discount on the course fee. Late registration incurs an additional 10 €/person.

Register by 28.9.2026. Accommodation is allocated in registration order with preferences considered - if your preferred room is full, the institute will contact you. The course will be invoiced if participation is not cancelled by the day before the course starts.

The institute occasionally receives donations to support courses. If financial circumstances prevent participation, you can apply for a discount using the institute's form.
