Caretta Camps
Our Caretta Caretta Camps in Demre offer an unforgettable nature experience for young people. These camps aim to increase awareness of nature conservation by providing an environment where young people can come together, engage in various activities, and build social bonds. Here are some benefits our camps offer:
1. Development of social skills: Summer camps help young people interact with each other and develop their social skills. This increases their self-confidence and helps them communicate better.

4. Discovering natural life: In this area, which is the habitat of Caretta Caretta turtles, you will have the opportunity to learn about natural life. You can reinforce your environmental awareness with nature walks and beach cleaning activities.
5. Healthy activities: Support your physical and mental health with activities such as gathering around the campfire, sleeping under the stars, and hiking in nature.
6. Learning and development: You can acquire new skills by receiving training on topics such as turtle tracking and conservation techniques. Additionally, these activities are a great opportunity to instill nature conservation awareness in children.
