“Social media shows you how good a life you can have, but no one shows you how to get there. You end up being a dreamer, not a doer. Here, we reflect on how to get there — what steps to take, how long it may take, and what work we need to put in.” Daniela, Canada
“A dream can become a goal. You just have to plan the process and build it step by step.” Lukas, Belgium
“It has been one of the best weeks of my recent life. You build deep connections. It is not superficial — it is something deeper and something nicer.” Vlada, Ukraine
“This place has taught me that it is important to have dreams, to work hard to achieve them, to be bold and brave — and just dare to dream.” Arina, Slovakia
“Dare to Dream is about daring to ignore the expectations of society and following the path to reach your own goals.” Alexander, Sweden
“Dare to Dream is really about asking yourself: do I dare to dream? And now, from what I have learned at the camp, my answer is yes. I will dare to dream — and I think I am going to dare to dream big, because I know within myself that I can do it.” Devanshi, Canada
“I am shocked by how I changed. Three days ago, I would never have sat here and opened up like this.” Julia, Poland
"Thanks to this programme, I think I finally have the ammunition to get my life back on track." Valér, Hungary

“My dreams are really clear in my mind now.” Léna, France
“All of us have so many dreams, and now we are going home almost being dared to say: go for those dreams, go for those goals.” Catherine, Australia

“I love the camp here — the friends, the people and the activities. It made me feel like I have never been so energetic and so confident.” Xin (Aurora), China
“Dare to Dream is about really thinking about your dreams and how to achieve them, instead of thinking: what happens if I am not good enough, what happens if I fail?” David, Italy
“It is okay to dream big. It is okay to dream small. It is okay to take little steps and take your time.” Kalina, Poland
“We learned about leaving our comfort zone because that is required to grow as a person.” Leo, Hungary
“I feel like I have this energy that I gained from being in this camp, and I am going to go home and put it into practice.” Daniela, Spain

Dare to Dream FAQs

All camp activities and communication with the Employee Foundation take place in English. You must therefore be able to understand and communicate confidently in spoken English. 

Yes, you can. 

Yes. The Employee Foundation manages all communication with participants before the camp, and at least onerepresentative is present during the camp to handle all practical matters and participant support. 

Accommodation is shared, and girls and boys are housed separately. 

No. The total cost of the camp is €200, which includes travel (flight or train arranged by yourself), accommodation, meals, and all activities. 

If exceptional circumstances such as illness prevent you from attending, the fee will be refunded. Please note that you may be liable to pay tax on the value of the camp (€2,000), depending on national tax rules. 

Participants are required to have travel and medical insurance to cover emergencies or medical treatment in Denmark. The insurance is at your own expense.

If you are under the age of 18, please check your national legislation whether or not you need to travel with a letter of consent signed by one of your parents.  This may for example be the case if you are from Poland and Spain.

This is a camp purely intended for personal development.  If you wish to explore other parts of Denmark, eg. Copenhagen, then you need to arrange this for yourself, by extending the length of your stay.

The camp programme is very intensive and designed so that you get the most out of your invested time.  There will of course be breaks and time to relax and enjoy yourself with your new friends – but you need to be prepared for long days with many activities.
