Special experience

International youth camp in Denmark

The Employee Foundation of the VKR Group offers you the unique opportunity to work with your mindset, make long lasting memories with new friends from all over the world and come home with new life skills.

On the Dare to Dream youth camp, you will meet 49 international peers with whom you will do activities in groups of 10, and within the same age group. The activities activate skills within communication, empathy, emotional intelligence, problem solving and mental health.

This camp is all about connecting with others, and connecting with yourself.

Dare to Dream is facilitated by True North, a Danish company renowned for their work with personal leadership. Thousands of youngsters have come away from True North camps energized and with more self confidence – and the bonus of a new network of friends.
