Welcome to Summer Camp in Karlskrona

Karlskrona is situated in the south eastern corner of Sweden by the Baltic Sea. The city was founded in 1680 by the king Karl XI. It is characterized by its maritime history, which also has given the city its character with the ever-present sense of the archipelago and the various forms of naval activities. Karlskrona is considered even so unique that UNESCO has placed the city on the World Heritage List. It is a pleasure to be able to invite twelve 17-19 year old students to our unique city. We will take you around the world heritage sites by boat and by foot. There will be lots of fun both in and on the sea. The week in Sweden will be a combination of culture and nature.
