Pure joy and outdoor activities for young people 16-25 years old

Úti Hamarinn is a project that anyone aged 16-25, who is interested in getting to know the outdoors, new people and the natural treasures around the capital area, is encouraged to participate in. The project is managed by the Hamarinn youth center and participants take part in shaping the program themselves with ideas for outdoor-physical activities, and places to visit.

Outdoor activities in nature nearby

The most important goal of Úti Hamarinn is to introduce outdoor activities and the nature nearby to young people. There is no cost to participate except for appropriate clothing and lunches that are the responsibility of the participants. The project ends in June with a 2-3 day camping trip.

Supervisors are Margrét Gauja Magnúsdóttir, head of department for youth centers, and tour guide, and Stella Björg Kristinsdóttir, director of after school leisure programs and prevention officer. This year’s project has received a lot of funding. A total of ISK 1.4 million from the immigration fund, 500,000 ISK from the Public Health Fund and 600,000 ISK from Oddfellowstúkan Gissur hvíti. This year’s budget ensures not only that Úti Hamarinn will be held this year, but also next year.
