We have been busy mesilased preparing for LAAGER 2022!
Parent Advisory Committee Happenings…
Our Parent Advisory Committee has had 2 meetings so far this year and have done a review of Laager 2021 and are heavily invested in planning and improving Laager 2022.
We are so thankful for our committee members who so graciously stayed on from last year and the group has grown by 4 new members: Kristiina Aasa Milne, Krista Alexopoulos,Eerik Aljas, Kaili Hilkawich, Martin Kiik, Karen Must, Leikki Revesz, Rutti Yalle, and our newest members: Michelle Gray, Tiina Heap and Kairi West, and Lia Hess.
Our committee has a vested interest as their children and grandchildren are the benefactors. We are not only planning for improvements to the physical site of the camp but are constantly seeking out innovative programming for our campers to ensure a rich experience in understanding their Estonian heritage. Stay tuned!! More details regarding programming to come!
Welcome Liisa Ruus from Eesti to our Seedrioru family!

The best reasons for wanting to come to laager? Don’t take our word for it – hear it straight from the kids who have been and experienced the wonders of Seedrioru laager:
Why would any kid want to go to Seedrioru camp?
Raili: “Because it’s fun and I have lots of friends there!”
Hendrik: “Because the boys are there and we can play basketball”
Sander: “You get to swim and they have dinosaurs there!”
Oliver: “The activities are great and you learn about Eesti and Robert says that you learn how to shoot… and that is cool.”
Aili perfectly sums up why you must come to camp this year: “Because it is going to be the BEST CAMP EVER!!!!”
ELAGU SEEDRIORU!!! SEE YOU SOON!
