At the end of June 2025, 93 young people and 11 mentors from the Ljubljana Firefighters' Association set off for the 25th summer firefighting school.
After arriving at the Bohinj Camp Center, just under three companies of young people from the volunteer firefighting societies of Ježica, Zgornji Kašelj, Slape Polje, Sostro, Brdo, Štepanjsko naselje, Stanežiče Dvor, Medno and Trnovo were reorganized into ten groups, or rather tenths.
Completely mixed, but comparable in size and strength, the groups measured their strength and
skills in interesting Multi-sport games for a whole week in this composition. In addition to swimming in the refreshing Bohinj Lake and participating in the games, the young people upgraded their knowledge by practicing skills, among which swimming was certainly the most popular skill, and in their free time they developed their skills by participating in various workshops.
The most fun and interesting was certainly the cooking workshop, where young "chefs" prepared desserts for all camp participants. You can imagine that preparing 110 pancakes on two portable gas burners is no small feat. Not for the fifteen young firefighters who were included in the workshop, nor for the two experienced mentors.
Also interesting was the discussion workshop, where the juniors and trainees could confide their secrets and troubles to the two trained mentors. The camping workshop, where they learned how to survive in nature and set up bivouacs, and the game workshop were also popular among the boys, while the girls preferred to go to the art tent.
In addition to the activities described, our stay at the camp was also enriched by numerous interesting visitors.
