Programmes for kindergartens and primary schools

The School in Nature camp at the RKS Debeli rtič Health Resort is designed for children in kindergartens and primary schools to build on and encourage movement, learning in various authentic environments, cooperation and networking. The School in Nature camp provides an opportunity to build on the compulsory and extended curriculum of the primary school and to achieve certain curriculum objectives. The School in Nature camp provides children with: – personal growth and development, – a stimulating and creative learning environment, – learning to coexist, – exercise, physical performance and a healthy lifestyle, – earning a culture of eating,– learning about a healthy and varied diet, – developing independence, – care for safety and exercise, – developing a culture of behaviour and coexistence, – developing independence, – cooperation and networking, development of critical thinking.

The camp is divided into several thematic areas. You can choose between three free activities for a 5-day stay and two free activities for a 3-day stay.    Evening animations are offered twice a week for all schools, weather permitting, and are not available as part of the free activities. There are no restrictions on the choice of paid activities. Playgrounds are available at all times or for the duration of the booking. Evening socials are organised for all schools.   The offer is summarised in an activity catalogue, which is sent to interested parties by e-mail. 

The RKS Debeli rtič Health Resort has developed the “My Classmates, My World” camp with social skills programme for primary school classes 7 to 9, which takes the form of a “team-building” activity for teenagers. The programme for the last three grades has been enriched with workshops aimed at building a good self-image, improving relationships between students and, as a result, fostering a positive climate in the classroom. The workshops are structured in four strands to help teenagers identify basic emotions and explore the differences between the concepts of emotion, feeling and mood. They will also focus on discovering and choosing the values that are important to them and on recognising their own power and powerlessness. In addition, a workshop of linking games encourages cooperation and teamwork. The aim of these workshops is to strengthen students’ self-awareness and healthy self-image, enabling them to cope better with life’s challenges. Our experienced team will use socially-interactive games to encourage students to work together, respect each other and strengthen their relationships. The themes are: My Map (emotions workshop), My Compass (values workshop), My Super Power (self-esteem workshop) and Hand in Hand (bonding games).

Miško Kranjec Primary School

Last week we were at your camp. On behalf of the whole team, I would like to thank you for all the kindness, all the facilities, all the hot and cold 🙂 meals, all the warmth and care you have shown us. 🙂 Truly, our thanks and praise goes to every employee we have come across. The kitchen staff were very friendly, accommodated all our requests and needs (although I wouldn’t say there were that many, but still :), the food was good. One of our pupils even said, “This is a good restaurant.” 🙂 We will be happy to come back.

So again, a big THANK YOU.

We were delighted from the first contact to the last! The staff went out of their way to make us feel extremely comfortable. The environment is wonderful, the children have plenty of space to move and play, and above all they are safe at all times. The pedagogical part is uniquely done. The cooking staff do their best for everyone, the food is good. One pupil even said: “This is a really good restaurant.” 🙂

Thirty years ago, I used to go to Debeli rtič with groups of children, which makes me even more excited about the resort now. How beautifully landscaped the surroundings are, the park, the playgrounds, the motivational boards… All praise! The buildings are also beautifully renovated and meticulously maintained. You can really feel the care and vision of the resort’s caretakers. Truly commendable!

The children had three unforgettable days in your beautiful surroundings. For most of them, it was their first experience of being without their parents for so long, and they all got through it without any problems. What they liked best was playing on the beach, throwing and stacking rocks and exploring the coast. Thank you for these unforgettable moments that will remain in the children’s memories for a long time.
