Camp Adventure Academy's Location

Specialist in Outdoor Education & Adventure Sports

Welcome to Camp Adventure Academy in the Lüneburger Heide

The Camp Adventure Academy was founded in 2002. As a specialist in experiential education and outdoor sports, many students and professionals have used it to expand their skills in the fascinating fields of outdoor and adventure and/or to grow together as a team. Since 2015, the Academy has been an independent GmbH and has found a new permanent home in Germany: in the Lüneburger Heide in Vethem/Walsrode. Due to its diversity and size, the site is suitable for a variety of activities and events. In addition to class trips and youth camps, the Camp Adventure Academy also offers the right location for training and further education, company events, trade fairs and survival courses.

Perfect organization, great support, fantastic location!

Location

The Camp Adventure Academy in Walsrode is set in the beautiful Lüneburger Heide national park, between the cities of Hamburg, Bremen and Hannover

With more than 15 acres of fields, woods, several lakes and even a beach, our northern camp location is the perfect holiday destination for children and teenagers looking for a summer adventure. Our spacious site is made up of several different zones, with various activities to suit every camper. If you want to go kayaking, build bridges, or jump high on a water trampoline, the Beach and Water Area is for you. If team building activities and high ropes course are more your thing, you should head over to the Survival Area. Whether you are an adventurer or more of a creative spirit, Walsrode has got plenty to offer!

Program Options & Active Worlds

Beach & Water

Our very own swimming lake with a white sandy beach, invites you to swim and romp around. On the lake we have created great possibilities with a water trampoline, water slide, and a water polo field. There is a non-swimmer area that is separated from the swimmer area, so that everyone has a lot of fun in the water. Our lifeguards always make sure that everyone comes out of the water safely. In the beach area we have set up sunbeds and sun sails for you and a great beach volleyball court for hours of fun. For whose who like to paddle in the water, we use our other lake. Whether it´s canoes, kayaks or stand up paddle boards - here you can choose from different boat categories and show what you are made of. Of course you will always be guided by our coaches who will show you the best tricks.

Catering

We cook fresh - always! We don't serve premade or boring food. Our menus are freshly prepared and our travels always start with a big barbecue. Of course, breakfast includes fresh bread rolls, cold cuts and a wide selection of fruits and cereals. For drinking we have juices, cocoa and tea. Coffee is of course available for adults. Still and sparkiling water is available from our water machines around the camp site during the day. Fresh food is available throughout the day in case you get peckish. We offer hot meals for both lunch and dinner - with snacks being an exception. Of course, water and fresh salads from the buffet are also available with these meals.

Our dining hall is centrally located on the site and offers enough space for a meal together with your whole group. When the weather is fine, the covered outdoor area is perfect for a barbecue and to relax in. And if it gets colder, you can look forward to cosy evenings in front of our indoor chimney. The construction of the new dining hall is part of our continuous expansion of the site and was supported by funds from the ERDF Multi-Fund.
