Dane Camp for Little Vikings is an annual summer camp for kids! Dane Camp for Little Vikings involves five fun days of Danish culture and language in an atmosphere designed for children ages 5 to 12. (For ages 10-18 see our other camp: Himmelbjerget.)
CANCELLED: Dane Camp 2024
Unfortunately, we are without a camp director and therefore cannot hold Dane Camp 2024 at the Seattle Danish Center.
If you or anyone you know are interested in the camp director job for summer 2025, please get in touch with Emily at the office as soon as possible so we can discuss possibilities. Mange Tak!

A Typical Year at Dane Camp
Dane Camp is held at the Seattle Danish Center each August. In 2020 the camp was transformed into a virtual camp due to the pandemic, but in 2022, we are so happy to be returning to an in-person format! Dane Camp involves a mix of indoor and outdoor activities related to a rotating theme. Our little Vikings are taken on outings to nearby parks to learn Danish sports and games. For meals, everyone sits together in true Danish fashion, as they practice and discuss what they are learning. Kids are even introduced to traditional Danish food.
Northwest Danish Association hosts and sponsors this summer day camp. Sign up for our e-bulletin to stay up to date on Dane Camp and other NWDA programs.
