TVS organises at least one Study Camp a year at Hobbiton for children and teachers from schools in the Tyume Valley. The study camps provide a unique opportunity for children to learn personal development and life skills such as Team Building. The study camps are also an opportunity to consolidate TVS' regular local school programmes, though additional IT and English activities. As a core philosophy, all activities offered at Hobbiton must be voluntary and fun!
