TOMBA CAMP
DREAM, EXPLORE & DISCOVER !
Our camps give young people a strong starting point and the space to grow outdoors, developing skills across a wide range of adventure activities such as hiking, rafting, kayaking, and survival training. From helping a 10-year-old learn how to start a fire to teaching a 16-year-old to navigate single-track terrain, we build confidence, resilience, and determination—empowering a new generation to thrive in nature.
Our camp guides are professionally qualified in outdoor recreation (or equivalent fields) and bring extensive experience working with students in residential camp environments.
MEET TOMBA
For more than 30 years, since 1995, Dutch outdoor professional Tomba Holleman has been exploring and working across the globe, turning his passion for nature into a lifelong mission. With a rich and diverse background in outdoor programs, he has developed a distinctive approach to nature education—one that blends adventure, survival skills, and personal growth into unforgettable experiences.
Known for creating life-long memories, Tomba inspires young people through a powerful mix of outdoor challenges and hands-on learning. After a seven-year journey around the world, he settled in Turkey and founded Do It! Adventure Turkey in 2003, followed by the launch of TombaCamp in 2016.
Today, Tomba runs the camp together with his wife, Gonca Holleman, while their 16-year-old daughter, Noa Nehir, proudly joins as part of the next generation—already stepping into her role as a junior guide.
MEET TIM
Tombacamp co founder / Australian/ ICCA Antalya / Cambridge teacher Tim Pringle is no stranger to outdoor adventure. With more than 25 Outward bound camps in the Australian wilderness under his belt, he knows the positive impact an adventure camp has on kids & teenagers. Tim designed the ‘Practical English Outdoor education program’ for Tombacamp, whereby kids learn to practice their English speaking skills in a natural environment. Living in Antalya & married to a Turkish wife .Tim is by far Antalya’s best humanity teacher connected with very best private schools. He joins the camp often as instructor / teacher in the outdoor education program.
MEET ANJA
Anja joined the Tomba Camp team in 2025, bringing with her an incredible energy and a deep connection to the youth we serve. While she leads our marketing, sales, and promotion efforts for the Russian and Ukrainian community, her role goes far beyond that.
Together with her daughter Alina, Anja is an active part of camp life — joining the camps, engaging with students, and filling each day with laughter, warmth, and meaningful activities. Their presence creates a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere that truly resonates with teenagers.
Anja has become a key figure in building trust with Russian-speaking families, managing all communication with parents and students, and ensuring everyone feels understood, supported, and at home.
We are truly grateful for the positivity, care, and joy Anja brings to Tomba Camp — her impact on our campers is both visible and lasting.
