Havmiljøvokter-camp 2026
Stor interesse for Havmiljøvokter-camp N.O.R.D 2026
Stiftelsen Vårt Hav har mottatt svært mange søknader til Havmiljøvokter-camp N.O.R.D 2026 på Helgeland. Interessen for årets camp er stor, og det er betydelig flere søkere enn det er plasser.
Vi opplever dette som en tydelig bekreftelse på at tilbudet treffer godt, og at behovet for trygge og meningsfulle sommeraktiviteter for ungdom i regionen er stort.
Etter søknadsfristen 20. april skulle søkere få mer informasjon og svar om plass. På grunn av det høye antallet søknader trenger vi noe mer tid i gjennomgangen
Svar på søknader vil derfor bli sendt ut i løpet av neste uke.
Vi takker for tålmodigheten, og for den store interessen for Havmiljøvokter-camp N.O.R.D.

Nature - Ocean - Responsibility - Development
The Havmiljøvokter Camp is an inclusive summer program for young people aged 12 to 15. The camp is part of Bufdir’s national scheme for the inclusion of children and youth, and provides a safe, social, and educational holiday week. Here, youth from different municipalities come together to experience community, nature, and coastal culture - while learning about the environment, cooperation, and sustainability.
What happens at the camp?
-
A week of outdoor activities, ocean experiences and coastal culture
-
Friendship and community across municipalities and backgrounds
-
Training in environment and sustainability through hands-on activities
-
Older youth and young adults serve as mentors - “youth leading youth” in practice
-
A safe environment with adults present, low threshold for participation and no required prior knowledge
Why Havmiljøvokter Camp?
-
Many young people have few options during school holidays. The camp offers activity, safety and a sense of development.
-
Participants build friendships and community across municipal borders - especially important in small communities.
-
Youth feel seen, heard, and included.
-
The camp helps prevent loneliness and social exclusion.
Sustainability and Inclusion
The Marine Environment Guardian Camp supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals 3, 11, and 14, as well as the EU Youth Goals on inclusion, participation, and sustainability. It gives young people a voice and experience with democracy and collaboration.
The Road Ahead
From 2025, the camp will rotate between municipalities in Helgeland so more youth can participate each year.
The goal is to make the camp a yearly highlight - a meeting place that creates memories, personal development, and motivation for the future.
Bærekraft og inkludering
Havmiljøvokter-camp støtter opp under FNs bærekraftsmål 3, 11 og 14, og EUs ungdomsmål om inkludering, deltakelse og bærekraft. Den gir ungdom en stemme og erfaring med demokrati og samarbeid.
