What Eesti Laagrikorraldajate Liit does

Eesti Laagrikorraldajate Liit (ELKL), legally MTÜ Eesti Laagrikorraldajate Liit (reg nr 80590808), is an Estonian non-profit association founded in 2020 and headquartered at Staadioni tn 3, 10132 Tallinn. The organization functions as the unified representative body for Estonian youth camp organizers, uniting 14-17 legal entity members and operating within a broader network of approximately 100 camps active in Estonia. ELKL's mandate is to advocate for the interests of camp organizers, contribute to youth field policy development, and promote quality, safety, and professional standards in the camp sector, drawing on a national camp tradition that spans over a century. Its core activities are not commercial products but membership services: representation in regulatory working groups, cooperation with Haridus- ja Noorteamet (HARNO) and Haridus- ja Teadusministeerium (HTM), co-development of camp quality criteria and an impact assessment system, and the dissemination of information through training, seminars, info days, and the quarterly Laagerdaja Teataja newsletter. ELKL has no proprietary technology platform; its digital footprint consists of a WordPress website, a Facebook presence, and the newsletter. The business model is a flat membership subscription: a one-time 50 EUR joining fee plus a 50 EUR annual membership fee charged only to legal entities (juridilised isikud), with membership open year-round. Governance rests with a five-member board chaired by Kaur Kötsi, with seats allocated to member organizations including Eesti Spordiselts Kalev, MTÜ Noortekeskus Vihasoo, MTÜ Estlike, and MTÜ Võimlemisklubi Piruett. There is no parent company, no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, and no commercial revenue diversification beyond membership dues.
