Pupils and students of any school often go to summer camps (''hīliveyadha'', pl. ''-ai'') during the holidays; popular places are the southeastern islands, many coastal areas in the southern rainforest, and hills and mountains along the Camipāṇḍa range, the gigantic mountain range north of the Nīmbaṇḍhāra plain. Most accomodation structures for summer camps are of standardized form in the whole country, usually five- or six-storied buildings capable of hosting usually more than 200 people (usually there are three or four groups of pupils at a time) in large rooms with either bunk beds or lots of hammocks, two common bathrooms (usually on the first and fourth or on ground and third floor) and a common canteen at ground floor. Most of such camps focus on sporting or artistic activities, but there are also excursions and activities aimed at survivalism.<br/>As an alternative to summer camps, some students choose to spend their summer holidays in a monastery, often practising martial arts and enhancing their religious knowledge. Others help in farms during the summer.

Some ''jānilšeidai'' ("legions"; non-profit private groups of laypeople promoting religious teaching), with the official endorsement of the Inquisitorial Office of International Dialogue (''galababhrausire nādældī plušamila''), organize special one-month-long summer camps in the Inquisition reserved to foreign students from their 12th to their 17th year of age (11-16), giving them the opportunity to learn Chlouvānem and experience life as Chlouvānem people do - an extremely rare opportunity for Western people, due to the difficulties of legally entering the Inquisition otherwise. This program, presently active in all countries of the ''Kayāgaprika'' (Eastern Bloc) plus Taruebus and some Evandorian countries (Ceria, Nivaren, Holenagika, Auralia, Ingvensia, Vétaní, Rašinara, Orov, Antlorija, Majo, and Bankráv), has been warmly praised in some Western countries as a first step towards a normalization of international relationships between the West and the Inquisition — at least those groups can visit the Inquisition with the certainty of being able to get back home.
=====Foreign tourism=====
Foreign tourism to the Inquisition is highly dependent on international geopolitics; for citizens of the Taiduba (the Common Movement Space of the Eastern Bloc) it is easy to travel to the country, also aided by the common proficiency of citizens of those countries in Chlouvānem as a second language. Qualdomelics, Bronics, and Fathanics are some of the foreigners that visit the Inquisition the most, with historical and religious sites being the most visited by them; the country of origin of the greatest number of foreign tourists was, however, eight times out of the last twelve years, Skyrdagor.
 
Western tourists are much rarer, both because to a greater number of restrictions from the Chlouvānem side and also because of the relative lack of advertising of tourism to the Inquisition in Western countries due to the geopolitical blocs' strained relationships. In most dioceses, non-Taiduba tourists need to be accompanied by guides and follow set paths, often of naturalistic importance, sometimes historical or architectonical (in large cities). A particular industry, mostly only appealing to Western tourists (and certain Taiduba ones), is the one  of certain custom-built resorts (mostly in the Southeastern islands) that are effectively isolated from those where Chlouvānem people travel to, and are mostly designed to appeal to Western tastes (although with elements of Chlouvānem culture therein) rather than Chlouvānem ones. Western-style resort tourism in the Inquisition was actually first developed during the late Kaiṣamā in an optic of communist social tourism: they are owned and operated by the local diocesan governments, and are especially offered in Western countries to working class members of certain trade unions, offering symbolic, heavily-discounted prices; regularly priced stays are offered to other customers, and they are mildly popular among upper middle classes in the West as they usually cost less than comparable resorts in other countries.
