You can also write blog posts or make a video blog about the camp and our anniversary year. Interest in photography and making videos are useful.

Our organization has a membership magazine, Kotkaviesti, which is published twice a year. You will participate in the creation of the second issue of the anniversary year. You will also have an opportunity to contribute to the camp program if that is something that interests you.
