SPORT AND LEISURE
Currently we offer students a diverse WaterSports programme in the afternoons, together with varied sports activities, competitions and tours on weekday evenings. We also offer different sporting excursions and trips out at weekends. These are our flagship programmes which you will not be able to find anywhere else in Croatia. We take quite a personal approach to every student following their progress carefully, so that he or she can not only try out different sports but also develop and improve their technique.
AFTERNOON ACTIVITIES
Our students spend their afternoons predominantly by or in the sea. Activity in water is similar between age groups, but there are a couple of differences between the different groups:
WaterFun (ages 6-8) includes towables (such as an inflatable banana-boat, doughnut, armchair etc.), water polo in shallow water, beach volleyball, swimming (beginners), snorkelling, water relay, water games, floating castle and so on.
WaterSports (ages 9-15) includes waterskiing (20 mins daily), wake boarding (20 mins daily), towables (banana-boat, doughnut, armchair etc.), paragliding (13 years +), windsurfing and kitesurfing as well as water polo, beach volleyball, swimming (beginner/ intermediate/ advanced), snorkelling, water relay and various other water games. On Fridays every week there is a trip to the shallow waters and sand dunes of Nin - the ideal location to learn kite and windsurfing as well as build sand castles and enjoy mountain views of the highest Croatian massif (Velebit).
WaterSports (ages 16-18, Parents) In the morning, you can try out different water sports such as wake boarding, waterskiing and jet skiing, 4 days a week (30 mins per session). Various towables are also available (banana boat etc). On the fifth day, there is a weekly trip to the ancient town of Nin with its sandy shallow beaches and strong winds, to try and master kite/ windsurfing (a half-day trip with mountain views of the highest Croatian massif, Velebit).
These programmes are designed to immerse children and parents alike in adrenaline-pumping fun on water, while developing their physical abilities, coordination, agility, strength and spirit. Team bonding is also a very important aspect of our programme as it requires making a lot of exercises together with a partner or in a group.
EVENING ACTIVITIES
During their stay with us all students can take part in the "Olympic Games" such as tennis, football, basketball, beach volleyball, table tennis, mini-golf competitions, on weekday evenings and at weekends. Furthermore each week we offer two trips out to bowling, karting, paintball, laser quest or a cycling tour. Please note that all evening trips out are sold separately (usually €20-30 per trip).
