Meet Denmark - From Viking age to Modern age

From the Viking Age we will take you up through the Danish history to present day – where Denmark is a modern in- dustrial and agricultural country. Also we will see and hear about Danish democracy as Denmark for many years has been a very stable democracy. You must be interested in history and nature as we will visit a number of museums, as well as you will feel on your own body, how it is to row an old Viking ship – also we will visit a modern Danish farm and agricultural businesses. Furthermore you must be interested in how a country / municipality is run – as Danish democracy will be the second main subject. Last but not least there will also be relaxing activities – among other things a visit to the first original “Legoland” Expectation is that you are genuine interested and will contribute to making the camp a success.
