Zabinki in free translation from Polish means "froggy village" - "zaba" is a frog in Polish. Therefore, we have this frog logo, that you may find here or there! Zabinki is the place where our camp is organized each year, in the middle of Mazuria region - green lungs of Poland. Check out the location of Zabinki on a map of Poland.

Zabinki camp is designed for university students, graduates, youth workers, NGO members and young professionals aged 18-30. Citizens from each and every European country are welcomed. Young people from outside of Europe can also participate but there is a limited number of places. There is also an additional registration process for all non-Europeans [see below].

If you want to take part in the camp but you are NOT a citizen of one of the European countries you will need to follow extended registration process. We will ask you to fill in the Non-European application form in which you will describe your organizational background. Along with this form we'll ask you to send us recommendations from person's with/for whom you've been working or collaborating. Once you have all the documents you'll have to send them by e-mail to 2010@zabinki.pl.

If you are a citizen of a European country, which is not a member of the European Union, you have to follow a similar procedure, however use non-EU application form.

30th of June is the final deadline for registration of participants from non-EU countries. Verification of the documents may take up to a week. After that time we'll inform you about the results by e-mail. In case your application is rejected please be understanding as the number of places for non-European participants is limited.

Because you'll not find a better place to meet and have fun in summer with young people from all over Europe [and world!]. We have so many sporting activities, parties and practical workshops - all in beautiful nature with good people. Just have a look at the camp's program and gallery. You'll find your answers there! :)

The participation fee depends on how fast you make up your mind! The price depends on the registration deadline: 240 euro [until June 15], 260 euro [until July 15] and 290 euro [until August 15].

There are few possibilities.

1) by regular bank transfer

2) by Western Union Money Transfer

3) by PayPal - quick and cheap online payment by credit card

You'll be provided with the transfer details once we receive your registration form. It is possible to pay only 70 euro before the camp begins within the above deadlines and regulate the rest of the fee on the arrival to the camp.

PayPal is an international on-line payment system, which pay on-line for the camp without leaving the zabinki website. After you decide upon the financial condition of your participation in the registration form (fee and optionally: discount and paintball fee) you will be able to immediately pay the chosen amount. In order to use this opportunity you need a credit or debit card.

The whole fee - no. However, it is possible to pay the remaining part of the fee, once you've transfered 70 EUR of pre-payment. Why is it so? There are so many applications for camp, but we have limited places. Therefore, it is so important to us to have the number of participants and their names confirmed before the camp begins. From our six-year experience in registering international participants to different projects we know that the best way to confirm somebody's attendance in the event is receiving his/her fee earlier.

Yes, it is.

Naturally, once you're a registered participant and you've paid the fee or a part of it, we're sending you the certificate of enrollment, i.e. invitation to our camp, in which we confirm that you're participating in the camp and that you'll be provided with accommodation and board on the territory of Poland as long as the camp lasts. This document is required to get the Polish visa.
