If your kid is a nature lover and enjoys spending time doing outdoor activities, then we got exactly what he/she wants. The Cyanotype and vertical dance workshop for kids merges few school subjects together in one unforgettable experience that your kid will talk about for many months to come.

Surrounded by the most spectacular rocks of the Velika Paklenica canyon beside them, young participants will get a chance to explore the historical Cyanotype photo process through the lens of local flora and textures!
