School camps and accommodation in the heart of nature on Strynø

An island school camp offering tranquillity, togetherness and nature

Strynø Naturcamping provides the perfect setting for a school camp centred on outdoor life and community. The campsite is situated peacefully in the centre of the island and close to the Archipelago Smakke- og Naturcenter, where pupils can learn about coastal life, biodiversity, sailing and seaside activities, amongst other things.

There is plenty of space here for both children and adults, and the surroundings invite you to slow down and get closer to nature – with the option of staying in tents or cabins.

Accommodation, a campfire hut and outdoor activities

The campsite offers access to a shelter area, a campfire hut and activity areas. This makes it possible to combine learning and socialising with meals and outdoor activities.

Among other things, pupils can pick fruit in the old apple orchard, gather firewood at the edge of the forest and gaze at the starry sky away from the city lights. The sea is just a short walk from the campsite

Close to the Archipelago’s Taste and Nature Centre

Just a few minutes’ walk from the campsite lies the Øhavets Smakke- og Naturcenter. Here, pupils can try their hand at traditional ‘smakkejoller’ (small rowing boats), take part in workshops or learn about the Archipelago’s flora and fauna. Strynø is part of the South Funen Archipelago UNESCO Global Geopark, and the area offers a unique cultural landscape and a rich natural history.
