We organise overnight camps for children and young people in Helsinki during school holidays: game tournaments, quizzes, sports, mentoring and time together. Camps are led by adult volunteers.

For 2027 we are planning a camp for every school holiday: winter break, Easter, summer and autumn break. Dates and registration will be posted here and on Instagram.

CareerCraft is a monthly event series for students and young adults aged 18–29. Each event focuses on one career topic – such as CVs, portfolios and using AI in job hunting – and brings in people from the field. Participation is free.

Events are announced on Instagram.

The courses are paid, and their finances are kept separate from the association's free youth work. Ask about the courses: info@finpolarnuoriso.fi.

The young people's own podcast starts in autumn 2026. They choose the topics, interview guests and host the episodes. Episodes are published in Finnish and English.
