Education is done by highly skilled, experienced teachers
Each category is studied independently over the course of two weeks and has different levels of training. The training of the students is not standardized, meaning that each individual will receive a different program of the training adapted for their age, physical capabilities and other factors which will be taken into consideration by the teachers and will be implemented for each student. The students can then successfully practice and use their learned skills on site.
Training is also available for the guardians (parents, teachers, or companions of the students).
The campus is located close to the village Bratin Dol ,
5 km from Bitola town,
in the valley of Baba Mountain,
only 2 km from the PELISTER NATIONAL PARK,
the oldest national park on the Balkan Peninsula and the second highest mountain in Macedonia (2601m).
Participants are accommodated at
Depending on the number of students and their companions, we may accomodate them into both hotels, or in other associated hotels. The training is always in one place, either in Bratin Dol or Bitola, which allows the students to exchange their knowledge and experiences on what they achieved during their stay.
In this educational program we discovered that the best age for students is between 9 and 13 years old. At this age students are highly focused and interested in the program in all 3 disciplines. However, it is necessary for the young students to have a guardian (parent or teacher) who will stay with them most of time, because at this age children need constant supervision. This is compulsory for the course to be completed without disturbance. During the classes, the guardians can enjoy some other activities organized by the campus, or they can join the students and help them.
Accommodation is available in rooms or apartments, depending on availability and choice of the parents.
Bratin Dol Campus’ development began in 2007. The idea was to start an educational, cultural and recreational colony for young students and their parents, from all around Europe.
The Campus was founded by Tony Jolevski, an economist in tourism and hotel management and a long-time manager of various companies in Australia and Macedonia ,also supported by a number of government agencies and non profit associations from Macedonia and other countries.
The campus is located on approximately 55,000 square meters of land, including a private forest, river and accommodation buildings. There is a swimming pool for the students and their guardians, horse-riding tracks as well as hiking and biking paths. There is also a workshop equipped with modern accessories for education. There are BBQ facilities, recreational areas and child play areas. The campus owns rare old breeds of chickens, ducks, geese, pheasants, peacocks, guinea fowls, horses, mules, deer, wild boars and more. All these animals wander free around the campus at all times.

The campus is near the Bratin Dol village, which is only 500 meters away. The village is surrounded by forests, meadows, rivers, and a National Park with unique and rare species of flora and fauna, like Molika pine
and Wild Lynx.
Mother Nature was not selfish creating this place, which is very peaceful, quiet and relaxing.
The founder’s idea was to establish a campus where a new generation from various European countries can meet each other, learn to love nature, wilderness, art, culture, and work together to create a new environment where through friendship they can continue to communicate and build strong love for a better new world .
