Inter­natio­nal Summer Camp in Northern Germany, Niedersachsen

If you want to experience exciting things and enjoy creative, sporting and/or adventurous activities, then the Adventure, Sports and Creative Camp is the right place for you. Everyone chooses the program they like according to their personal taste and interests: sometimes spontaneously, when it comes to interesting workshops, fun games in between or a few hours at the lake, but sometimes over several days, when we dive into our project worlds and start joint activities.

In addition to interesting language lessons in the Camp Adventure style, we focus on discovering new cultures with children and young people from all over the world. We teach at least 12 x 45 min per week in small groups. There is also the opportunity to use and improve foreign language skills outside of the language profiles, as the children are looked after bilingually by our team members.

Heroes of the water wanted! You see them almost everywhere where there is water. At the edge of the pool, on high seats on the beach or even on boats at the edge of the non-swimmers' area - the lifeguards. Mostly unnoticed, they ensure safety and in emergency situations they intervene and even save lives - real everyday heroes! We offer the opportunity to take the official lifeguard course during your stay with us.

Over the course of the week, the children learn basic skills that have often ensured the survival of many others. For example, we coach them in the correct use of knives. Things also get hot: nothing is more important in the wildernessthan a fire. It serves as protection from wild animals, provides warmth and is of course used to prepare food. How do you make a nice campfire without matches or a lighter? Our coaches will demonstrate this and how to cook in nature. The children are also prepared for an adventurous water crossing and the construction of a protective shelter is also part of the survival skills.

Whether technique, endurance, strength or tactics training, your children will also be trained in fair play and team spirit. But don't worry, playing soccer is of course not neglected. Fun and enjoyment are at the forefront of age-appropriate training, which is why the ball always plays a central role in all exercises. Our soccer profile is aimed at all football-loving kids, newcomers and club players who want a bit of adventure as well as soccer!

Our riding profile is just right for animal lovers! Together with our partner, the Reitsportverein Altenwahlingen e.V., we offer your children varied riding lessons on 6 excellently trained horses. You will learn both how to handle the animals safely and how to work with them as partners - both on and off the horse. Of course, we will also take care of the horsesand prepare them for training. At the end of the week we will ride in one of the most beautiful landscapes in Germany - the south of the Lüneburg Heath. The riding lessons are led by qualified and certified trainers with many years of experience in teaching children and young people to ride. We can therefore guarantee optimum support and training. This profile is not suitable for advanced riders. However, if you are a beginner with some experience, the week is a good opportunity to improve your riding skills.

Spring/Autumn
Driving a sled dog team - isn't that what many people dream of? In our spring/autumn husky camp you have the opportunity. Not only will you learn the most important things about our great huskies, but also everything about the sleds on wheels, the necessary equipment, the training of the dogs and the special feeding, but you will also have the opportunity to try everything out for yourself and get your so-called “musher's license” at the end. “Musher” - that's what a sled dog handler is called. Adventure, action and enjoyment are on the program. Alexandra and the sled dog team “Lumirunners” are looking forward to the adventure with you!

Summer
Our husky camp is just the thing for dog lovers or those who want to become one! From the peculiarities of the original dogs, the differences to “normal house dogs”, general important facts about dogs to the small 1x1 of sled dogs, you will learn everything you need to get your “husky license” at the end of your husky camp. Of course, cuddling, feeding, learning the language of dogs and joint excursions are also very important! The program includes trekking tours, splashing around in the water, playing and making real friends with your husky! Alexandra and the sled dog team “Lumirunners” are looking forward to seeing you!

If you want to experience nature from one of its quieter sides, our fishing camp is the right place for you. In this course, we will prepare you for the fishing exam together. You will learn about fishing and fishing techniques in general and can apply what you have learned while fishing together at our fishing pond. After the big catch, our trained supervisors will also go through the basics of gutting with you and show you a few delicious ways to prepare fish. Of course, the topic of animal and species protection will also be covered. Even if you are an advanced angler, you are welcome to join us for a few hours of fishing. So then, good luck fishing!

For the dance enthusiasts among you, we finally have the right course for you. In our additional dance course, we will show you different street dance styles and work with you to create your own choreography to match your chosen hip-hop song. In 12 45-minute lessons, we will try out new steps with you, rehearse a short performance and show you the fun that rhythmic movement can be.

If you enjoy crafting and designing, then you are sure to have fun at our creative camp. Our international teamers will make and decorate lots of beautiful things with you. Together you will design jewelry and create new things from old ones in a process known as upcycling. We will paint with watercolors on canvases and create a joint work of art using a wide variety of natural materials such as wood and stone. If you want to try out something new creatively, this is the right course for you.

You think the camp is cool, but would prefer to spend your time with young people of the same age from all over the world? Then the Senior Plus program is just right for you and you even have some privileges: exclusive night action such as flashlight canoeing or moonlight climbing, a later night's sleep and you stay in tents specially reserved for your age group or in our Academy with its own chill-out area.

Choose your favorite profile, e.g. Creative & Adventure Camp with many daily changing outdoor activities and creative leisure activities or a language camp if you want to polish up your German or English language skills with native speakers. You then take part in the profiles in the mornings together with the senior campers.

Or you can opt for the Leadership Camp, which also takes place in the mornings, but is offered exclusively for the Senior Plus age group of 15-17 years. In terms of content, the aim is to develop leadership qualities entirely in English. Whether presentation courses or workshops, e.g. on reflection and team leading - we will introduce you to lots of exciting content that is guaranteed to help you in your personal development! Important: a crucial part of our Leadership Profile is the 3-day overnight hike that takes you to the North Sea and brings with it a number of challenges. The perfect challenge for those of you who are looking for a new “once in a lifetime” challenge!

Of course, our philosophy of “No drugs, no alcohol - just fun!” and our “DigitalDetox” approach of only handing out cell phones and electronic devices during the siesta also apply here. So you have the rest of the day all to yourselves and your “peers” and make friends that may last a lifetime!

If your child has already been to camp as a participant and now wants to become a camp counselor themselves, then our ICIT program is just right for them. This program is aimed at young people between the ages of 17 and 19 who would like to work with children in an international environment and who have at least a basic knowledge of English. After successfully completing the two-week training course, ICITs receive a certificate proving that they have been trained as an International Camp Counselor Assistant (junior staff member). With this qualification, they can already be employed as a counselor assistant (17 years) or as a counselor (18 years and older) in our camps. The training also includes training as a first aider.
