Sign Up for Wunder Camp 2026 @ Lake Charlevoix, MI August 5th - 9th
Stage 1: Lago Garda
Stage 2: Dolomites
Stage 3: Lake Bohinj, Slovenia
Stage 4: Venice (Hotel)
Often called the crossroads of stone and sky, Northern Italy’s Dolomites and the Slovenian Alps rise in dramatic limestone peaks, emerald valleys, and storybook villages. This is a land shaped by ancient mountains and borderland cultures—where alpine calm meets bold adventure.
Interested?: Reach out to Dave or Aaron
There are 2 choices for this trip: Campervan (sleep + drive) or Rental Car + Camping Cottages. Most campgrounds in Europe have both and we will accommodate this so you can join if a campervan is not your cup of tea.
Check out an example camp site:
Sailing on Lago Garda, Biking up the Slovenia Alps, Cable Trams to the top of the Dolomites, White water rafting to Glass Blowing in Venice
Since we will have limited space, each family will need to plan food for 6 breakfast mornings and 3 dinners. We will try and eat out as a group or two groups 2-3 nights. Kids snacks and simple lunch items will help for on the road.
Flying to Venice is the best bet. Venice is 1.5 hrs to Lake Garda. 3 hrs to Dolomites. 3 hrs to Lake Bohinj in Slovenia. There is also campervan rentals 15 minutes from the airport.
Pack light and focus layers. It could be 80 degrees or 40 degrees depending the moutains vs ocean. 1 carryon per person. Bags you can stuff in the van (avoid hard sided suitecases)
