This summer of 2026, adventure meets training, friendship, and teamwork
\n"},"body":{"processed":"The “I am civil protection too” school camps, a project by the Civil Protection Department, return this summer in partnership with Regions and local and national volunteer organizations. Now in their 16th year, school camps engage thousands of young people across Italy with a shared goal: to show the younger generation how simple, everyday actions can help protect the environment, local territory, and the wider community.
\nFrom June to September 2026, more than 350 summer camps across Italy will welcome over 9,000 young people aged 10 to 16.
\nParticipants have the opportunity to take a closer look at the world of civil protection, interacting daily with people working first-hand in the field: firefighters, police officers, 118 operators, the Italian Red Cross, volunteers, and representatives of local and regional institutions.
\nIt is not just about lessons, but also about hands-on experiences, simulations, outdoor activities, and opportunities to share ideas—all of which help shape young participants into more informed and responsible citizens.

\nFor many young people, this experience has become a true passion, having a profound impact on their personal growth. Through direct interaction with volunteers and the opportunity to experience firsthand the values of solidarity and collaboration, many have chosen to continue on this path by becoming volunteers themselves.
