In late July 2026, two football camps in Croatia reached full enrollment. The Zadarnova Football Camp in Konavli filled its 18 spots within a week, while NK Uskok’s week‑long camp in the club’s main field hosted 30 children, both concluding with diplomas and positive parental feedback.

A week later, youth film camps wrapped up in the region. Croatia’s Gunja Summer Film School hosted 35 participants from several Balkan countries for six workshops, producing short films such as the post‑apocalyptic drama “Nulta točka.” Simultaneously, the International Youth Film Camp in Nova Gorica, Slovenia, gathered 17 young creators from Slovenia, Italy and the diaspora, emphasizing collaborative storytelling and media literacy. Both sets of camps highlight a growing demand for organized, intensive summer programs for young people across the Balkans.
