Santa’s magical sleigh will make a stop at the School of Vamvakou this year before the start of the enchanted journey to flood it with the Christmas spirit. As of November 30th, the basketball court will be covered with ice and transformed into an enormous Ice Rink ready for figure skating and swirls at a 1000 m mountain top altitude. Meanwhile, a six-seater trampoline will spring up on the schoolyard for leaps towards the sky alongside giant inflatable games that promise wild Christmas adventures, creating the most fun-filled holiday memories for the children!
And if that’s not enough, the indoors of the school awaits you for creative Christmas activities, free playtime for all those who feel like a child, crafts, Christmas visuals, letters to Santa Claus, chess, board games, Ping Pong, Lego and endless virtual rides that take us to exciting 3D worlds through Oculus Quest 2. The Christmas atmosphere is enriched by thousands of sparkling lights and decorated Christmas trees, while the festive setting is complemented by educational programs, gastronomic quests, dj sets and theatrical performances.
And if you get hungry, sweet-smelling vamvacookies and melomakarona from the Women’s Cooperative of Vamvakou, “Vamvakia”, delicious snacks and hot drinks that even Rudolph will smell from afar, await you in the canteen of Vamvakou Santa School!
The School of Vamvakou changes and transforms into a fun workshop of Christmas dreams for the first time in its history, ready to welcome the young and old this holiday season. We hope to see you!
