This summer, Basker International, formerly known as Zein, will run day-long summer camps for children aged 4-12 years old across multiple locations in The Hague. Camps run from Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 18:30, between 1 July to 28 August. With eight summer camp themes to choose from, there is something for every child, whatever their interests!

Grouped by age, campers enjoy age-appropriate activities and on-site specialist workshops designed to ensure every child has great fun, learns new skills, discovers new talents and, of course, makes new friends along the way. In addition to workshop activities focused on the theme of the week, each camp also includes fun sports, recreational games, field trips and outings to destinations such as art ateliers, trampoline halls, children’s museums, parks and more.
The camps are organised and led by qualified childcare teachers with training in pedagogy and safety. English is the main language spoken, but many of our teachers are international and will take the time to explain things in your child’s mother tongue, where possible and if needed.
