Aspnäs camp is beautifully located by the paddling-friendly Vegsjön in Aspnäs, 20 km west of Härnösand. Surrounding the camp are beautiful nature and we have access to a lovely swimming area with a sauna.

During the summer of 2026, we will conduct day camps and week-long camps for children aged 7-14 years. The camps run from Monday to Friday.
