Parkinson Camp in Spain
Nordic Table Tennis
We invite all players diagnosed with Parkinson’s to this fall’s best table tennis experience! This fall,
Nordic Table Tennis is organizing the most exciting table tennis camp of the year, where you can combine a week-long vacation at a hotel right by the sea with world-class table tennis training! This year, we’re bringing back our popular Parkinson’s camp in Spain.
For 7 days (5 training days) in November, senior players diagnosed with Parkinson’s will gather in Spain to train and improve together. Sweden’s current men’s national team coach (Marcus Sjöberg) and former elite player (Anton Åkesson) will be on hand to ensure your stay is the best and most rewarding camp this fall. Not only will this be a top-class table tennis camp, but the sun, swimming, and warm weather—combined with great food—will make this your best table tennis experience ever!
Guardamar is a small, charming coastal town located about 35 km south of Alicante Airport. The town has about 20,000 residents, and the hotel is situated right on the incredibly beautiful, long beach and close to both the town center and the boardwalk.
Our goal for the camp is to ensure it’s of the very highest quality, and regardless of your skill level, you’ll get the most out of this camp. In addition, there will be plenty of time for you to enjoy fun activities together. No matter your skill level, we’ll make sure everyone has a great week of training and a fantastic experience!
