Workplace Description

Stockholm City arranges summer camp activities for children, young people, and young adults with disabilities. Our camp sites are located in beautiful natural environments in Sörmland and Norrtälje. Being at summer camp means a change of scenery, fun outdoor activities, and socializing with others for our participants. For relatives, it provides relief in everyday life. Many of our employees have worked at our camps for a long time and return annually.
