During the five days of the camp, the children were able to attend lectures and practical classes at the Petrozavodsk State University, got acquainted with the expositions of the leading museums of the republic, participated in master classes and games, met interesting people and, under the guidance of experienced mentors, talked about the preservation, development and popularization of indigenous languages and cultures.

The organizers of the camp were the Ministry of Education and Sports of the Republic of Karelia, the Ministry of National and Regional Policy of the Republic of Karelia, the Department of Baltic-Finnish Philology of Petrozavodsk State University and the Republican Resource Center “Rovesnik”.
