Once again it is time to assemble in the Aarnimetsä Academy to share one's knowledge of arts and sciences. This event focuses specially on classes and different kinds of workshops. The events open on Friday at 6 p.m. and closes on Sunday at 1 p.m.
Site:
The site of this event is the beautiful camp site of Sorja (Mörrintie 4, 38100 Karkku) in Vammala, near Tampere (and owned by Tampereen kesäsiirtola ry). Sorja is in the best country side of Pirkanmaa province and on the shores of a lake. On the lake shore is Sorja's sauna, which is heated with wood.
Sorja also has a neighbour, an educational institution for agriculture, but this shouldn't be considered as a problem.
Sorja can easily be reached by train, bus and car. The nearest airport is the Tampere-Pirkkala airport. The shortest - and easiest - routes to Sorja are from Helsinki (by train), Turku and Tampere.
Meals:
On Friday is served an evening snack, on Saturday we have a breakfast, lunch and feast and on Sunday a breakfast.
