Walsrode
Welcome to Walsrode – Your Adventure in the Lüneburger Heide!
The Walsrode location lies right in the heart of the Lüneburger Heide and offers more than 150,000 m² of space for movement, outdoor adventures, and shared experiences. Surrounded by forests, meadows, and water areas, the camp is the ideal setting for a diverse summer camp in Germany—far from everyday routines yet still easily accessible.
The spacious grounds feature sports fields, a swimming lake, and numerous outdoor areas that can be used flexibly for different activities. The nature-focused environment creates a relaxed atmosphere where children and teens quickly feel comfortable and grow together as a group. This unique combination of open space, nature, and community makes Walsrode one of the most popular Camp Adventure locations.
Accommodation
At our international summer camp in Lower Saxony, you can choose during registration between staying in a tent or in a cabin or house. Both accommodation options are located close to the sanitary facilities, which are of course separated for boys and girls. Each accommodation group—whether tent or cabin—is supervised by a dedicated counselor. Our counselors live right next to the accommodations and are available at all times for questions, wishes, or concerns—24 hours a day.
Tents
Our tent villages consist of spacious tents with six to seven sleeping spaces. Equipped with wooden flooring and a loft area, they offer authentic camp feeling and a cozy atmosphere. With a sleeping bag and sleeping pad, campers can settle in comfortably.
Cabins / Houses
Alternatively, you can stay in comfortable cabins or houses with four to eight beds. These shared accommodations provide solid beds and seating areas and are also centrally located on the campgrounds, so you are always close to the heart of camp life.
For your stay, you will need a pillow, bedsheet, and sleeping bag to make your space comfortable. Bed linen can also be conveniently added during booking. Accommodation in a cabin or house is available for an additional fee.
Meals
We make sure everyone is well taken care of: meals are freshly prepared every day—no instant soups or ready-made products.
In the morning, you can enjoy a hearty breakfast with fresh bread rolls, cold cuts, fruit, and a variety of cereals. Juice and tea are also available. Throughout the day, water—still or sparkling—is always accessible, as well as fresh fruit for small snacks in between. Lunch and dinner are usually warm meals, with occasional cold meals. Fresh salads are available at every meal from the buffet.
Vegetarian meals are always possible, and we are happy to accommodate allergies or special dietary needs after prior consultation.
At the Creative, Sports & Adventure Camp, every day offers the perfect mix of nature, action, new friendships, and real international camp spirit. The day begins with optional Morning Sports: relaxed games, small challenges, or energizing warm-ups that wake you up and put you in a great camp mood.
One of the most popular traditions is our Polar Bear Club—where brave campers jump into the lake every morning, no matter the weather. You can also start your day actively with calisthenics, a short jog, or a yoga session.
In the morning, your first major activity block begins. You have the choice: dive into your selected profile and focus more deeply on the topic that interests you most—such as Survival, Husky, Soccer, Creative, or English. Alternatively, you can join the core profile “Adventure, Sports & Creative,” where you create your own daily schedule from a wide variety of activities—from sports and outdoor adventures to creative workshops.
After lunch and a short siesta, the varied afternoon program continues. Now the entire camp is open to you: participate in different sports, try creative workshops, play team games, or challenge yourself with outdoor activities like archery, canoeing, or the high ropes course. Our team creates a diverse program every day, so there is always something new to discover.
In the evening, the whole camp comes together. During Evening Activities, camp truly comes alive: enjoy campfire nights, big all-camp games, shows, talent nights, themed parties, or our legendary camp disco. Every evening is different—and that is exactly what makes camp life so special.
If you stay for two weeks, a special weekend highlight awaits you: our famous Camp Adventure hike. This exciting overnight adventure through nature is already included in the camp and is a true outdoor experience where teamwork becomes especially meaningful.
Alternatively, instead of the hike, you can book an optional trip to Hamburg and explore the historic port city with its famous landmarks.
On Sunday, everyone visits the swimming pool together, followed by a relaxed trip to Walsrode on Monday. If you want even more action, you can instead book a visit to Heide Park Resort.
This creates a daily camp experience in Walsrode filled with variety, adventure, and unforgettable moments—with plenty of time for new friendships and authentic camp experiences.

Well taken care of in every way—and more
Our staff members come from all over the world and are there for you around the clock—with genuine enthusiasm, a willingness to listen, and a smile. Every camper has designated staff members who are available at all times. Our staff-to-camper ratio ranges from 1:5 to 1:9, depending on the age group. All staff members are carefully selected, specially trained for our camps, have a current criminal background check, and work according to our safety guidelines.
The best part: English is spoken naturally throughout the camp. Whether during sports, around the campfire, or while chatting with new friends from all over the world, the language becomes a natural part of your daily life—without pressure, but with plenty of practice.
The camp isn’t just about fun and adventure, but also about personal development. We give children space to have new experiences—even if things don’t always feel easy right away. Homesickness, minor conflicts, boredom, or something that doesn’t work out on the first try are all part of the experience. At the same time, we provide support, a clear structure, and a strong sense of community at camp.
Step by step, this leads to a sense of accomplishment: small steps forward, learning together, new skills, and the pride of having achieved something. This is exactly what builds self-confidence—the feeling: “I can do this.” Many children return home after camp more independent, braver, and with new friendships.
Special Features for 15–17-Year-Olds
For older participants, the camp offers some extra freedom: dedicated tent areas or the Camp Academy with a chill-out area specifically for this age group, later bedtimes, and special night activities like flashlight canoeing or moonlight climbing. This way, you have your own space—while still enjoying the full camp experience.
At all our camps, the rule is: No drugs, no alcohol—just fun! And our digital detox approach ensures that cell phones are only handed out during siesta time. The rest of the day is all about camp life—and your new friends.
