On the ridge above Como, the Parco Regionale Spina Verde unfolds across limestone hills, chestnut woods, and sunlit clearings — the setting for Centro Estivo 2026, a full-day summer program running from Villa Imbonati in Cavallasca and the Campo Solare in Drezzo. Designed for kids aged 6–13, this is the park’s first entirely park-operated summer camp, a hands-on introduction to outdoor skills, local natural history, and cooperative play.
Each morning begins at the designated meeting point—Campo Solare Drezzo - Villa Imbonati Cavallasca—where trained naturalist guides welcome small groups for five days of active learning. Days are structured around field games, short hikes, habitat exploration and practical workshops led by local experts: basic map-and-compass orientation, invertebrate surveys, native plant ID, and safe, age-appropriate climbing introductions on park-approved terrain. Emphasis is on respect for the landscape; children practice low-impact techniques tailored to Spina Verde’s limestone ridgelines and chestnut coppices.
What makes this camp stand out is its integration with the park itself. Activities take place across four community locations—Como (Camerlata or Albate), Colverde (Drezzo) and San Fermo della Battaglia (Cavallasca)—so campers experience multiple microenvironments, from scrubby karst outcrops to shaded groves. The geology here is readable: exposed calcareous layers, small sinkholes and stone terraces tell a human and natural story, and instructors use those features as outdoor classrooms.
The practical side is well organized: camp operates Monday through Friday with check-in procedures handled online—parents pick weeks via the calendar, select payment type and complete registration, or send bank transfer proof to the listed administrative email for confirmation. Discounts apply for multiple weeks and siblings (first week €180, second €160, third €140, fourth €120), a structure that encourages longer seasonal engagement while keeping costs predictable for families and transparent communication.
Practical details keep parents comfortable: the program runs 7:45–17:30 with picnic-style lunches, professional guides with educational credentials, and clear safety protocols. Pricing tiers reward repeat weeks or siblings, making multi-week stays affordable. Registration is digital through the provided booking link; participants can pay by card, PayPal or bank transfer with simple instructions for confirmation.
Local cultural notes are woven into the schedule—short stories about Lombardy’s rural traditions, the park’s role in regional conservation, and occasional visits from heritage artisans. The camp balances freedom and structure: kids test boundaries on trails and games while learning cooperation, basic navigation and a curiosity for local flora and fauna. For families staying in Como or nearby Casnate Con Bernate, Centro Estivo 2026 offers an efficient, ecology-first summer option that keeps children outdoors and learning. Whether your child is already an eager explorer or new to the woods, the program’s mix of naturalist expertise and hands-on activities builds confidence and lasting appreciation for Spina Verde’s rolling limestone landscape.
