Stretching from July to September, the Czech summer holiday can feel like an eternity when you’re at home with bored youngsters. Most expat families take their cues from Czechs who traditionally send their kids to camp.

A range of camps, or letní tábory, exist in Prague and the Czech Republic for a range of ages and interests, many of them combining language learning – Czech, English, and beyond – with every kind of activity imaginable.
