School trips

Our creative and adventurous class trip programs are characterized by their variety of programs and well coordinated experiential educational content. Our goal is to strengthen the class community, to awaken the team spirit. We achieve this, among other things, through individual supervision of the students. "Back to the nature" is one of our mottoes. We consciously decide to be "offline" for a few days and to relax.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which languages are spoken in camp?

The main language in all our camps is English. In addition, there is the language of the country in which the camp takes place. As we have our headquarters in Germany, German teamers are always present in all camps. All announcements and explanations are therefore always in German and English. Of course, all our teamers with their different nationalities are also available for individual translations.

Who are the camp counselors?

Every year our team is made up of an international mix. The non-profit association Camp Europe e.V. with headquarters in Hamburg and a branch office in Canada takes care of the acquisition of national and international applicants. Since we have about 50% German-speaking children, there are also German carers in every location. But many also come from other countries, such as England, Spain, Australia, Canada or Australia, to name just a few.

Should 12-year-olds rather go to Junior Camp or Senior Camp?

This question is not easy to answer and depends on the individual stage of development of your child. Therefore, as parents, we leave you the opportunity to decide for yourself. In the Junior Camp they belong to the older ones and can explore a lot in a playful way. In the Senior Camp they are the younger ones, who have role models through the older ones, whom they can emulate.

How is my child accommodated in camp?

In the Creative, Sports & Adventure Camp in Neuburg the participants are accommodated in tents with 6-7 persons. These are equipped with a floor and a wooden gallery. The participants can make themselves comfortable with sleeping bag and sleeping mat. In Walsrode the Juniors (7-12) and the Seniors (12-16) can choose between tent and hut. The wooden cabins are equipped with bunk beds and can accommodate 4-8 children each. In the other locations, participants are accommodated in shared rooms in youth hostels, sports centres or boarding schools run by private schools. Detailed information about the accommodation can be found at the various camps.

How do you provide safety for the kids?

Before our camp counselors start working with us, we check their police clearance certificates. You must be at least 19 years old to work for us as a teamer. They must also have a "First Aid Certificate", which must not be older than two years. In the camps we try to make sure that only adults from our camp or familiar faces are on the campground and that all our carers look after strangers.
We have many different camp sites. Some of them are fenced in, others are not. There are no armed guards or the like in our camps, as we believe that these conditions create a very insecure feeling. We do not have a high security zone in Germany, Northern Ireland or England, but we keep our eyes open and do everything we can to ensure that all participants have a great time.

Where do kids and camp counselors come from?

Camp Adventure attaches great importance to internationality. The participants and supervisors in our camps come from many different countries. Last year, for example, we had participants from over 60 different countries and supervisors from 25 different nations. Of course we don't know where they will come from this year. So we are at least as excited as you are.
Every year, our team is made up of an international mixture. Through our office in Hamburg and our branch office in Canada, we reach motivated and committed advisors from all over the world. Canadian and Australian teamers can therefore be found as well as German or Spanish teamers. Due to the different experiences and cultural backgrounds an indescribably fantastic, international atmosphere is created.

How is the choice of activities/courses in the camps made?

If your child would like to participate in a paid profile (e.g. horse riding, language course, GEOlino), this must be booked in advance when registering. In principle, no extra profiles have to be booked. A program with a variety of activities is of course available to the participants in all camps. The various activities can be chosen by the participants on site in the respective camps. We present the offers to the participants, so that everyone gets an insight into the different courses. The children can then register in the lists of the respective courses.

How big are the camps? How high is the caregiver key?

Capacities range from around 30 participants in smaller language camps to a maximum of 350 children. However, the maximum capacity is not reached every week. However, a minimum number of participants must be guaranteed in order to run the camp.
It is important to us that all children are always grouped in small groups of 5-8, with a supervisor as contact person. This way homesickness does not get a chance and despite the size of the camp in their group family, they experience a strong cohesion on which they can count!

When do I have to pay the price for the booked camp?

The deposit must be paid within 7 days of receipt of the booking confirmation. The remaining payment for the booked camp is due 4 weeks before the start of the camp at the latest. Further information can be found in our Terms & Conditions.

About
Our Team

from 30 different countries

We are not a huge company or a group of companies - we are a family business. Our founder, Jan Vieth, knows all team members personally and trains them together with our coaching team. We have approx. 150 team members from approx. 30 different nations in action per year, who are on average on duty for 4 weeks in our camps. Our international office team consists of 15 employees who work in Canada, Spain and Germany. Every year we have participants from more than 60! different nations and our recomer rate of over 70% also speaks for itself.

We attach great importance to consider each child as an individual and therefore do not make mass camps with 1000 participants. We are also no "booze party beach" youth tour operator. All forms of violence and drugs - including alcohol and cigarettes - are excluded for all participants, regardless of age.
