Old Times 2025: 14 - 19 July

Gamla Tider is our very popular craft camp where you choose a craft to try during a wonderful holiday week.


You come to Gamla Tider to learn something new, enjoy the summer, the food and the good company, without demands but with the possibility of an active holiday. You come to Gamla Tider alone or with the rest of the family. For the children, their own activities are arranged. Many of our participants come again year after year and during the more than 30 years that the course has been conducted, we have had over 2000 participants. If you also want to take part, it is safest to register in good time, the course is often fully booked!

Welcome to Old Times!

Old Time program

The course starts on Monday 14 July at 13.00 with check-in and lunch at 14.00. Then we have a short introduction before going to our craft groups. You participate in a partial course throughout the week.

At the same time, the Emil & Ida group has its first collection. In the evening we gather for camp night for old and young. Tuesday through Friday, the days begin with a morning gathering in the chapel, after which we work in our craft groups between 9.45 - 15.30 with breaks for lunch and coffee.

Friday evening we have our big barbecue with exhibition of our craft, the evening ends with a family Mass in the chapel. The course ends on Saturday 19 July at 10.00.

Our sub-courses - 2025


At Gamla Tider you participate in a sub-course throughout the week. This year we have nine different courses to choose from. In order for the sub-course to be carried out, five adult participants are required and several sub-courses have a maximum number of participants, so it is necessary that you indicate at least two different requests for sub-courses. You can also participate during the week without choosing any craft.
