The Vanaivan centre is run by Koprivnice´s branch of Junak (Association of Scouts and Guides of the Czech Republic) and was established between 2008-2011 with the financial support of EU and Koprivnice, a town in the Silesian-Moravian Region of the Czech Republic.
The Vanaivan centre consists of two main parts – a modern building and outdoor facilities. Inside the block you can find several clubrooms, a lecture hall, small gym, computer room, sanitary facilities (toilets and showers) and a kitchen as well. The outdoor sport and recreation area offer a climbing wall, rope centre, fitness area, small amphitheatre, playgrounds and a camping site. The centre also has wheelchair access.
The Vanaivan centre can be used for managerial meetings, organising a range of seminars such as Leadership, Teambuilding, Ecological training courses etc. The facility also serves as a free time activities centre for schools, youth organisations and the general public. During school vacations it is also used for organising summer camps.
