Galeb Summer Camps is organized through three program formats:
GALEB
SUMMER CAMPS
30+ years of tradition. One system. International standard.
For more than three decades, Galeb Summer Camp has brought together athletes from the country and abroad, developing them through a system that combines experience, continuity, and top-level competitive standards.
Today, Galeb Summer Camps represents a platform of multiple specialized summer camps — tailored to different ages, levels, and athletic ambitions.
This is not just a camp.
This is a development system.
The Visionary and Leader of the System
- The concept of Galeb Summer Camps was created and is continuously developed by Dragan Jović, one of the most successful taekwondo coaches of today. His training system, preparation methodology, and long-term vision for athlete development form the foundation of the Galeb Summer Camps concept.
- For athletes and coaches coming from other countries, this very continuity and proven professional authority are among the key reasons for attending.
A Tradition Behind Elite Results
Galeb Summer Camp has been developed within a system guided for more than 30 years by the same sports philosophy and consistent methodology.
The continuity of professional leadership has enabled the development of generations of athletes — from beginner level to the Olympic podium.
The methodology that has shaped elite results is now integrated into every camp program.
This means that every participant trains within a system that:
- understands long-term athlete development
- knows the path from the first training session to the world’s biggest competitions
- builds mental stability as much as technical precision
- prepares athletes for real international challenges

International Dimension and Elite Level
Over the course of three decades, particularly through the High Performance format, the camp has brought together athletes from more than 40 countries and has become recognized as a high-level international training center.
More than ten Olympic medalists, along with numerous World and European medalists, have trained through this camp. This means that within the Galeb system, athletes who later stood on the highest podiums of the world’s greatest competitions prepared and developed their performance.
The international structure of the camp enables:
- sparring with elite competitors of different styles
- realistic simulation of competition conditions
- exchange of experience between clubs and national teams
- a professional, stable, and controlled training environment
Galeb Summer Camps is therefore not just a summer camp — but an international high-performance sports platform with a proven continuity of results.
