Funside Balaton international camp 2023

4 new classes and 12 new activities this year!

Funside Balaton turns 13 years old in 2023, and we are bringing you all sorts of new stuff this summer, including 4 new classes, 4 brand new weekly themes and 12 new activities! We are preparing 26 different classes for you to choose from (you may select two for each week), which is still the widest selection in the region. Our overnight summer camp is for kids and teens of ages 8 to 17, welcoming local children, as well as campers from close to 30 different countries. This year's sessions go from July 2 to August 5, at our usual Lake Balaton venue in Hungary.

At Funside, we are proud of having a young and well-prepared team of camp leaders, carefully chosen and trained in order for us to provide the best camp experience to our campers, also underlined by our exceptional 5 to 1 kids to adults ratio at camp. Funside Balaton is a bilingual camp, with English and Hungarian both being official languages, while all our staff, including local camp leaders, speak English as well. Our camp is open to any children meeting our age requirements and language requirements, just choose from our long selection of classes below to get started! You may share the same room with your friends, if you request it on your sign-up form and meet the criteria. Check out the Top 10 countries represented at the camp here. Check out our Facebook reviews from parents and campers here.

Update: registration has begun and places are limited. Follow this page to see which sessions and classes are still available.

Camp Schedule and Activities

In 2023, we’re looking forward to welcoming our campers with 4 brand new weekly themes (and the already announced Campers’ Choice week) and 12 new afternoon and evening activities! Every day from Saturday, March 11, for 5 days we will unveil a new weekly theme and its detailed programme each dqy on our Facebook page! After that, you will also find all the important information about the new themes and programmes on this page!

Sessions start on Sundays and end on Saturdays. When staying for multiple weeks, your stay also includes the Saturday nights between the sessions. Learn more…

The afternoon and evening activities are the same for all of our campers, regardless of which classes they choose for the mornings. For example, if you are attending the combination of English and Dance Camps, and you have a friend who is attending the Music Camp, you will still see each other at the afternoon and evening programs and may even share the same room if you request it on your sign-up form and meet the criteria to share a room.
