1. Spring Boost campaign 1 April – 29 April

Is this a familiar situation in the springs: there are loads of deadlines but little energy? CampusSport’s Spring Boost campaign brightens the end of the spring semester!

How does Spring Boost work? Participate in at least six CampusSport’s sports shifts in April 2025 and get our new overall patch! You get a stamp from each sports shift that you participate. Collect stamps to a stamp card and switch the full card to a patch. You can get the stamp card from the customer service in Educarium or Sport Sirkka during the customer service hours starting from Monday 24 March.
