A camp that transforms young Poles into ambassadors of Polish heritage
Nowodworski Foundation invites you to the Summer Camp “Living History Lesson 2026” – a unique educational program that combines a journey through Norway and Poland with language learning, history, and discovering one’s own talents. Date: June 26 – July 11, 2026.

What makes this camp unique?
This is not an ordinary holiday trip. The camp program integrates several key areas of a young person’s development:
- History in action – participants personally visit battle sites, castles, and museums – in Norway, among others, the Museum of the Battle of Narvik 1940 with the participation of the Polish Podhale Brigade, fjords, and Oslo, and in Poland – Czorsztyn, Krakow, Łańcut, and Zubrzyca.
- Polish language in practice – journal writing, historical discussions, songs, skits, and language competitions. Learning Polish without stress, in a natural environment.
- Art and creativity – sketches from trips, workshops of various artistic techniques at the Open-Air Museum in Sidzina near Babia Góra, and finally – an artistic portfolio and participation in exhibitions in Poland and at the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in New York.
- Sport and fitness – Dunajec river rafting, hiking, outdoor activities.
- Friendships for life – shared experiences with peers from various US states create irreplaceable bonds.
Youth who complete this camp return to their schools as proud ambassadors of Polish heritage.
