HOST FAMILY INFORMATION

Host families are an integral part of KONE’s Global Youth Camp. Host families will accommodate one or more youngsters (by your choice) for five days (from July 22-27, 2016) in the late summer. Host family days are a very important part of the camp experience. The campers come here to get to know Finnish culture and everyday life, and do not for example assume to have their own room. On Monday and Tuesday KONE will organize activities for the campers, in which the host families’ children can join too. This means that the parents can go to work knowing that their children are looked after and having a good time. The campers have at least elementary English skills and you can also wish for the youngster to speak some other language(s). There will be an organized joint start for Monday’s and Tuesday’s activities and we are more than eager to help you with the camper’s transportation. KONE Global Youth Camp is a unique company-sponsored event and an amazing opportunity for you and your family to get to know a new culture and to make friends across the world!
