Our camps are a fun mix of a bit of everything!

We stay at Haijainen activity center in Luonnonmaa Naantali. The building is an old village school that is surrounded by great grounds for outdoor exercising. The building consists of a large hall that is separated into two; the campers side as well as the kichen and the staff side. In addition there are two toilets, a shower and a hallway. Our training happens on a large grass based field. The nearest beach is a 2km walk away where we get to refresh during our beach hike. There are no stores near the camp ground.
Our camp kitchen can execute different special dietary requirements but do note that absolutely gluten free meals are not possible.

People who makes your summer awesome and takes care all of you!
Ada Filppa, Finland
Hi gang! I'm head of Agades Camps. I've been enjoyed camps so long than I can remember, so naturally I started work with camps when I was fifteen. Now days I had experience work with camps in Finland but also in USA. I've been graduated youth instructor and now I'm study physiotherapy in uni.
My full heart is for hobbyhorses. I've been competing in Finnish Championships (2015-2018) dressage, and won one gold 2017. Last year I also compete in Slovakia and Czech Republic. I really enjoy dressage and show jumping. Side competing I'm coaching, organize competions, camps, doing social media and help SKHH'ry.
I will be everywhere in camp also coaching show jumping and dressage. I'm strict, positive and very many-sided coach. Some campers calling me Mom or big sister. That's close the truth. In camps I take care of everybody, but also told if something is wrong. I can't wait meet y'all
Tuuli Salminen, Finland
Hiya, I'm Tuuli a 21 year old camp veteran! My camp journey started just like you all the way back during Ada's forst ever camp as a camper and as the years have gone by I first became an assistant and finally one of the main organizer. Now I run the kitchen and prepare all of our delicious meals. Sometimes you might see me organizing side activities as well as behind the camera.
Best thing about summer is being able to provide and give unforgettable experiences to all of you!

Helmi M, Finland
Hello!
My name is Helmi and I'm 16 years old. I have worked in Agades summer camps since 2022!
Personally I only do only showjumping and I have competed in the Finnish showjumping championships now two times a row, next summer I will compete for the third time. With that being said I only coach showjumpers, because I do not know anything about dressage…
I hope you come to have fun with us to the international camp, can't wait to meet you all!
