Karlskrona 3H has been organizing holiday camps for young people and young adults with disabilities for nearly three years. The initiative began after the organization identified a lack of activities for this target group during holidays. The camp's schedule was packed with activities such as Floor Curling, Frame Running, and circuit training.
The camp has participants from Karlskrona, Ronneby, Sölvesborg, Karlshamn, and Hässleholm. The camp's popularity is spreading within the county and even outside it. According to SVT Blekingenytt, Bella Lundberg described the camp as a place where she feels understood and accepted, and she also noted the fun of trying new sports.
It's nice to be in a place where they understand and accept exactly who you are.
Anne Berglund, project leader at Karlskrona 3H, emphasized that the most important aspect is not the activities themselves, but that participants have a place to go, meet friends, and try new things. According to SVT Blekingenytt, Berglund further described how such experiences foster personal growth. The specific disabilities of the participants and the funding sources for the camps remain unclear, and it is unknown whether similar camps exist in other regions of Sweden.
It's fun to try new things and learn new sports.
