The Moving Sport Camp (MSC) is the unmissable event for sports enthusiasts in the city of Sya. Since 2018, this camp has offered young people the opportunity to learn or improve their skills in five disciplines: athletics, basketball, floorball, football and rugby, which has just made its debut this year. Supervised by about thirty qualified coaches, the campers were able to learn the techniques, rules and values of each sport, while having fun and exercising themselves.
