About Sova Camp

More than a summer camp

Sova Camp is a carefully designed environment, built for the well-rounded development of a child: emotional, social and creative.

We are part of the Sova Events family, with years of experience working with children and producing large-scale events. On that foundation, we build programs where every child feels confident, safe and happy. Here, kids don't just spend time — they discover themselves.
