A team of dedicated volunteers, counselors, nurses, teachers, mentors and motivational speakers work together to encourage and nurture the campers. City Kids Camp gives the kids the opportunity to become more independent, self-confident, learn new skills and make new friends.
*Valid passports are required to travel. Airfare is not included. The cabin and sailing date are set and cannot be changed. A 3-night pre-cruise stay in Lisbon may be added for an additional cost.
