First Camp strengthens its Arctic presence as Camp Ripan joins the First Camp family

First Camp, the leading camping and resort group in Northern Europe, continues its successful expansion across Europe and the Arctic region with the acquisition of Camp Ripan, one of northern Sweden's most beloved year-round destinations. With this acquisition - following the recent addition of Apukka Resort in Finnish Lapland earlier this year - First Camp now reaches a total of 88 destinations across Europe.

Located in the heart of Kiruna, Camp Ripan is known for its warm hospitality, award-winning spa, local culinary traditions and deep connection to Arctic nature and culture. Guests from all over the world travel to Ripan to experience the northern lights, the midnight sun and the unique calm of life above the Arctic Circle.

By welcoming Camp Ripan, the First Camp group further strengthens its offering in one of Europe's most remarkable travel regions - giving guests even more opportunities to enjoy new experiences across a uniquely diverse region, from the Alps to the Arctic Circle.

Johan Söör, CEO of First Camp, says:
"Camp Ripan is a truly special destination with a strong identity, exceptional guest satisfaction and a deep-rooted connection to the Arctic. After our acquisition of Apukka Resort earlier this year, bringing Camp Ripan into the portfolio is a natural next step in expanding our Arctic footprint. We look forward to working with the fantastic Camp Ripan team and continuing to create memorable moments for guests from around the world."

Camp Ripan will continue to be operated by its existing team, ensuring continuity for guests, employees, partners and the local community.

With this expansion, First Camp strengthens its position as one of Europe's leading camping and resort groups, connecting more destinations, more nature and more unforgettable travel experiences across the continent.
