Children are the new target of ski instructors and mountain pension owners who are this winter organising ski camps for preschoolers and school children for tariffs starting from 318 euros per week.

Florin Andrei, with a 12 years' experience as a ski instructor, is organising nine series of ski camps for children in Sinaia this winter season, during the December-late April period.
Andrei owns Sport la Monitori company of Sinaia, set up this summer. "In 2009, we decided to focus more on organising children's camps, now representing half of our business. We're also focusing on individual ski lessons, outdoor event organisation, trips, alpinism," Andrei said.
Sport la Monitori works with six ski instructors. The cost of a one-week ski camp stands at 1,295 RON (308 euros).

"Ski camps are just a travel package of our company," says Mihaela Huda, the daughter of the owners of Vest Week-End company.
