standort Walsorde

You can drop off/pick up your child at the following times:

  • Arrival: SUNDAY 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
  • Departure: SATURDAY 10 a.m. to 12 noon

If you are unable to drop off or pick up your child at the times specified, please contact us and we will work out an alternative solution together.

As we have many guests arriving independently in Walsrode, we ask for your understanding if there are delays on site. To keep these delays to a minimum, here is a brief overview of the check-in process:

  1. Our team will welcome you at the entrance to our premises. There you will receive a large envelope. Please put your child's health insurance card/confirmation, copies of flight/train tickets (if available), pocket money, medication + dosage instructions and all electrical devices and valuables (mobile phone, iPod, etc.) in this envelope.
  2. After leaving your car, please go directly to check-in (our staff will show you the way) and hand the envelope to our staff. Only take your hand luggage with you to check-in. Please leave the rest of your luggage in the car.
  3. After check-in, we will collect the luggage together and show you the way to your child's tent/hut.
  4. Our camp leaders will then be happy to give a tour of the entire camp to anyone who is interested.
  5. All parents must leave the site by 6 p.m., as this is when the adventure officially begins for our campers😊
emergency number

We are available around the clock on arrival and departure days, as well as in genuine emergencies (e.g. delays, illness or family emergencies). Please only use the emergency number for urgent matters outside of our office hours – the line must remain free for acute cases. It is only active during the camp season.
You can reach our office Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feel free to leave a message – we will call you back as soon as possible.
Office: +49 40 8080 576 00
Emergency number: +49 40 8080 576 11

Mobile phone, smartwatch and telephone

Contacting the camp by phone:
There are no landline phones at the camp. If you would like to call your child, please give them a mobile phone with roaming enabled and, if necessary, an international SIM card. Wi-Fi is often not available at our German camps, so please make sure you have a suitable tariff.

Rules for mobile phones and smartwatches:
On the day of arrival, we collect all electronic devices. This allows all campers to focus on the real holiday experience. In case of illness or discomfort, we will of course contact you. No call means your child is fine.
During siesta (after lunch), all children are allowed to use their devices briefly. Afterwards, they are collected again. On excursion days, they can keep their devices for the duration of the excursion.

In emergencies, you can reach us around the clock on our emergency number.

Emails and post

Unfortunately, it is not possible to call the respective teamers. The best way to reach our camp management team on site is by emailing the respective camp address (see below). This allows us to respond quickly and directly to all concerns.
As phone calls to your child's home can cause homesickness, we generally recommend sending an email instead. That is why we offer an email service that allows you to send your child one email per day. We usually print these out in the morning and then forward them to your child.
Please note: No attachments such as pictures, videos or comics – unfortunately, we cannot print or forward these. This service is one-way – your child cannot reply to you by email. But a message from home is sure to put a smile on their face! If you miss your child and would like to be called during siesta time, simply send an email to the camp.

Letters and Postcards:
Keep in mind that letters and postcards can take several days to arrive.
Important: Make sure to include your child’s full name and the camp date in the address line so we can correctly assign the mail.
Please send letters early – ideally one week before the camp starts. Unfortunately, we cannot process packages or returns.
You’ll find the camp addresses listed above under the section “Address.”

Click here to download the packing list to print out and tick off.

Note: Please pack max. 1 large piece of luggage (20 kg) – you’ll need to carry it yourself during transfers. For self drop-off/pick-up, you can instead bring a box like the Ikea “Samla” (79×57×43 cm / 130 l), which fits perfectly under the tent podium.

For the journey/check-in at the camp:

Please pack documents, medication and pocket money in a sealable bag labelled with your child's name and the camp they are travelling to. We will collect these at check-in and keep them safe for your child. We do NOT require a vaccination certificate or swimming certificate.

For the toiletries bag:

The following items are prohibited in the camp:

Helpful Packing Tips
  1. Make sure to label all clothing and personal items – many campers bring similar-looking clothes, and labeling is the only reliable way to match lost and found items.
  2. For dirty laundry, we suggest using a cloth bag or pillowcase. Avoid plastic bags, as damp clothes can cause discoloration or mildew.
  3. To stay organized, it’s a good idea to pack clean clothes in separate, color-coded bags – this makes it easier to find essentials like underwear without unpacking everything.
  4. Please leave expensive tech gadgets and valuables at home. We do not take responsibility for items valued over 500€.
  5. Recommended pocket money:
    • Germany: around 20€ per week
    • England, Spain & flights: around 50€ per week
    • Teens aged 15–17: up to 200€
Travel insurance

If your child is travelling with us to a country other than their home country, we strongly recommend that you take out travel insurance to cover medical repatriation in the event of an accident or serious illness. If your child does not yet have travel insurance, you can book our travel insurance package, which includes international health insurance, liability insurance, accident insurance and assistance insurance. Please note that non-EU insurance policies are usually not accepted by hospitals and doctors, who will require payment in cash. Therefore, please always take out EU health insurance.

We would like to point out that participants without adequate international insurance cover must be prepared to pay any medical or hospital bills themselves. Camp Adventure will not cover these costs. For this purpose, a security deposit of approximately €500 in cash or a credit card with sufficient coverage should be brought along.

Detailed information about our travel insurance package can be found here.

Handling medication

We collect all medication at check-in and give it to your child as needed/instructed. All medication should be placed in a sealed bag labelled with your child's name. We also ask you to include a brief description of the treatment required and dosage instructions. Important medications such as asthma inhalers should be brought in sufficient quantities, as they may not contain exactly the same substances abroad and a prior visit to the doctor may be necessary for new prescriptions.
We also ask for all details about your child's medical and social needs in a questionnaire. We will send this to you in the ‘Final Travel Information’ email.

Homesickness

First, the good news: Homesickness is completely normal and part of growing up! Our Teamers are very familiar with this issue and will take good care of your child.

If your child is travelling without you for the first time, we recommend our ‘Anti-Homesickness’ guide, which contains some very effective tips!

You can find it as videos on YouTube or as a pdf!

Drugs and social behaviour

For legal reasons, out of conviction and in cooperation with the organisation Keine Macht den Drogen (No Power to Drugs), all camp participants are strictly prohibited from possessing or consuming drugs of any kind, including cigarettes, vapes and alcoholic beverages. Any violation of this rule will result in expulsion from the camp. In this case, the legal guardians will be responsible for any costs incurred.

We are convinced that our varied activities and the great camp atmosphere offer much better alternatives anyway!

We also attach great importance to respectful interaction. Discrimination, bullying or violence have no place here. Our goal is to ensure that all campers, regardless of age or origin, have a happy, relaxed and safe time.

Internationality

We are proud to have such a diverse and international team at our camps! Our counsellors bring valuable experience from their travels and previous camps, contributing significantly to the unique Camp Adventure experience.

Together with our participants from many different countries, they create a cosmopolitan community where different cultures can be discovered and friendships with children and young people from all over the world can be formed.

The camp languages are English and German – depending on the location, the local language of the respective camp may also be used.

Pictures

We know how valuable it is to capture unforgettable memories! That's why we take as many photos as possible during the camps. However, our focus is on providing the children with an eventful time filled with exciting activities. Please understand that we cannot guarantee that every child will be captured in a photo.

Your child is welcome to bring a digital camera. It does not need to be handed in at check-in, but this is at your own risk.

As the internet connection on site is not always ideal, we are unable to share all photos on social media or our website during the camp. From autumn onwards, you will find all the photos on our website, where you can relive the best moments.

standort Adventure Camp

If you have booked a place in the tent or in one of the tiny houses, you will be accommodated at the Adventure Camp on the campsite:

Address: Badstraße 18, 94209 Regen

Tip: Enter ‘Camp Adventure Bavaria’ in Google Maps.

standort BLSV Sportcamp

If you are staying at the BLSV sports camp, please check in there as well:

Address: Raithmühle 2, 94209 Regen

Tip: Enter BLSV Sport-Camp Regen in Google Maps

Most parents bring their children to the camp themselves. This gives them a chance to get to know our team and the location. You can drop off and pick up your child at the camp at the following times:


Arrival: Sunday 4–6 p.m.
Departure: Saturday 10 a.m.–12 noon

Please note that our camp in Regen consists of two locations, the BLSV Sportcamp and the Adventure Camp.
Both camps are very close to each other and the activities take place together during the day and, depending on the activity, at both locations.

However, when you arrive, it is important that you check in at the location where your child will be staying!

Emergency number

In emergencies or on the day of arrival or departure, we are available 24 hours a day. Please use the emergency number only for truly urgent situations such as delays or medical emergencies. This line is only active during camp hours and should be kept free for serious cases.
Our office is open on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Outside these hours, you can leave a message on our answering machine and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Office: +49 40 8080 576 00
Emergency: +49 40 8080 576 11

Mobile phone, smartwatch and telephone

Availability during the camp:
As there are no landlines at the camp, your child should have their own mobile phone with them. Please ensure that roaming is activated and, if necessary, that they have an international SIM card. As WiFi is rarely available at the German camps, it is important to have a suitable data plan.

Use of mobile devices:
At the start of camp, we will collect all devices so that all children can switch off digitally. We will of course inform you immediately in the event of any health problems. No call = everything is fine!
Devices may be used briefly during siesta time. We will collect them again at the end of this break. During excursions, devices remain with the children throughout the day.
Emergencies? Please call our 24-hour emergency number.

Emails and post

Since phone calls home can cause homesickness, we generally recommend sending an email instead. That's why we offer an email service that allows you to send your child an email once a day. We usually print these out in the morning and then forward them to your child. Please refrain from sending attachments such as pictures, videos, comics or similar. We cannot print these out or show them to the children. This is a ‘one-way service’. Your child cannot reply to you, but they will certainly be happy to receive a little message from home.

If you miss your child and would like to be called during siesta time, simply send an email to the camp. The camp location's email address is also the best way to contact our team on site directly if you have any organisational questions, for example.

The following items are prohibited in the camp:

Tips and tricks
  1. Please label your laundry/clothing, as several campers often have similar items with them and this is the only way to identify lost items.
  2. We recommend a pillowcase/cloth bag for storing dirty laundry – damp laundry can stain plastic bags.
  3. It is helpful to pack clean clothes in different coloured bags so that you can quickly find your underwear, for example, without having to search through all your clothes.
  4. Please do not bring any technical devices or similar items or valuables worth more than 500€. We accept no liability for these items.
  5. Pocket money: We recommend approx. 20€ per week for camps in Germany. In England, Spain and for trips by plane, 50€ per week. For older children (15-17 years), max. 200€. In England, please bring pounds sterling or a prepaid credit card.

During the week, you can reach our office between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM. If we don’t answer right away, feel free to leave a message.

Camp Office: +49 40 8080 576 00

Mobile Phone, Smartwatch, and Telephone

Phone Availability:
There are no landlines at the camp. If you’d like to speak with your child, please make sure they bring a mobile phone with international roaming or a foreign SIM card. Wi-Fi is usually not available at our camps in Germany, so be sure to choose a suitable data plan.

Electronics Policy at Camp:
All phones and smartwatches are collected upon arrival to help kids fully unplug and relax. If your child becomes ill or there are any issues, we’ll contact you immediately. No news means everything is fine.

There is a short window for device use during siesta time. On excursion days, devices may be kept a bit longer.

For urgent matters, please call our emergency number.

Emails and Mail

Since phone calls home can sometimes trigger homesickness, we generally recommend sending an email instead. That’s why we offer an email service that allows you to send your child one message per day. We usually print these out in the morning and hand them to the children shortly afterward. Please do not include attachments such as images, videos, or comics – we are unable to print or share those with the kids.

This is a one-way service – your child won’t be able to reply, but they’ll definitely enjoy receiving a little message from home.

If you’re missing your child and would like a call during siesta time, simply email the camp. The email address for your specific camp location is also the best way to reach our on-site team with any organizational questions.

Helpful Packing Tips
  1. Make sure to label all clothing and personal items – many campers bring similar-looking clothes, and labeling is the only reliable way to match lost and found items.
  2. For dirty laundry, we suggest using a cloth bag or pillowcase. Avoid plastic bags, as damp clothes can cause discoloration or mildew.
  3. To stay organized, it’s a good idea to pack clean clothes in separate, color-coded bags – this makes it easier to find essentials like underwear without unpacking everything.
  4. Please leave expensive tech gadgets and valuables at home. We do not take responsibility for items valued over 500€.
  5. Recommended pocket money:
    • Germany: around 20€ per week
    • England, Spain & flights: around 50€ per week
    • Teens aged 15–17: up to 200€
DJH Membership

To participate in the camp, you’ll need a DJH family membership!

Travel Insurance

If your child is travelling with us to a country other than their home country, we strongly recommend that you take out travel insurance to cover medical repatriation in the event of an accident or serious illness. If your child does not yet have travel insurance, you can book our travel insurance package, which includes international health insurance, liability insurance, accident insurance and assistance insurance. Please note that non-EU insurance policies are usually not accepted by hospitals and doctors, who will require payment in cash. Therefore, please always take out EU health insurance.

We would like to point out that participants without adequate international insurance cover must be prepared to pay any medical or hospital bills themselves. Camp Adventure will not cover these costs. For this purpose, a security deposit of approximately £500 in cash or a credit card with sufficient cover should be brought along.Detailed information about our travel insurance package can be found here.

Handling of Medication

We collect all medication at check-in and administer it to your child as needed or according to the instructions provided. All medication should be placed in a sealed bag labeled with your child’s name. Please also include a brief description of the treatment required and clear dosage instructions.

Important medication – such as asthma inhalers – must be brought in sufficient quantity, as the same formulations may not be available abroad, and obtaining new prescriptions often requires a prior visit to a doctor.

We also ask for details about your child’s medical and social needs in a questionnaire, which you’ll receive via email titled “Final Travel Information.”

Homesickness

First, the good news: Homesickness is completely normal and part of growing up! Our supervisors are very familiar with this issue and will take good care of your child.

If your child is travelling without you for the first time, we recommend our ‘Anti-Homesickness’ guide, which contains some very effective tips!

You can find it as videos on YouTube or as a pdf!

Drugs and Social Behavior

For legal reasons, out of conviction and in cooperation with the organisation Keine Macht den Drogen (No Power to Drugs), all camp participants are strictly prohibited from possessing or consuming drugs of any kind, including cigarettes, vapes and alcoholic beverages. Violation of this rule will result in exclusion from the camp. In this case, the legal guardians will bear the costs incurred.
We are convinced that our varied activities and the great camp atmosphere offer much better alternatives anyway!
We also attach great importance to respectful interaction. Discrimination, bullying or violence have no place here. Our goal is to ensure that all campers, regardless of age or origin, have a happy, relaxed and safe time.

Internationality

We are proud to have such a diverse and international team at our camps! Our counsellors bring valuable experience from their travels and previous camps, contributing significantly to the unique Camp Adventure experience.
Together with our participants from many different countries, they create a cosmopolitan community where different cultures can be discovered and friendships with children and young people from all over the world can be formed.
The camp languages are English and German – depending on the location, the local language of the respective camp may also be used.

Pictures

We know how valuable it is to capture unforgettable memories! That's why we take as many photos as possible during the camps. However, our focus is on providing the children with an eventful time filled with exciting activities. Please understand that we cannot guarantee that every child will be captured in a photo.

Your child is welcome to bring a digital camera. It does not need to be handed in at check-in, but this is at your own risk.

As the internet connection on site is not always ideal, we are unable to share all photos on social media or our website during the camp. From autumn onwards, you will find all the photos on our website, where you can relive the best moments.

Aus rechtlichen Gründen, aus Überzeugung und in Zusammenarbeit mit der Organisation Keine Macht den Drogen ist es allen Campteilnehmer:innen strengstens untersagt, Drogen jeglicher Art – einschließlich Zigaretten, Vapes und alkoholischer Getränke – zu besitzen oder zu konsumieren. Ein Verstoß gegen diese Regel führt zum Ausschluss aus dem Camp. In diesem Fall tragen die Erziehungsberechtigten die dadurch entstehenden Kosten.

Wir sind überzeugt, dass unsere abwechslungsreichen Aktivitäten und die tolle Camp-Atmosphäre ohnehin viel bessere Alternativen bieten!

Ebenso legen wir großen Wert auf ein respektvolles Miteinander. Diskriminierung, Mobbing oder Gewalt haben bei uns keinen Platz. Unser Ziel ist es, allen Camper:innen – unabhängig von Alter oder Herkunft – eine fröhliche, entspannte und sichere Zeit zu ermöglichen.

We also ask for all details about your child's medical and social needs in a questionnaire. We will send this to you in the ‘Final Travel Information’ email.

Homesickness

First, the good news: Homesickness is completely normal and part of growing up! Our Teamers are very familiar with this issue and will take good care of your child.

If your child is travelling without you for the first time, we recommend our ‘Anti-Homesickness’ guide, which contains some very effective tips!

You can find it as videos on YouTube or as a pdf!

Drugs and social behaviour

For legal reasons, out of conviction and in cooperation with the organisation Keine Macht den Drogen (No Power to Drugs), all camp participants are strictly prohibited from possessing or consuming drugs of any kind, including cigarettes, vapes and alcoholic beverages. Violation of this rule will result in exclusion from the camp. In this case, the legal guardians will bear the costs incurred.
We are convinced that our varied activities and the great camp atmosphere offer much better alternatives anyway!
We also attach great importance to respectful interaction. Discrimination, bullying or violence have no place here. Our goal is to ensure that all campers, regardless of age or origin, have a happy, relaxed and safe time.

Internationality

We are proud to have such a diverse and international team at our camps! Our counsellors bring valuable experience from their travels and previous camps, contributing significantly to the unique Camp Adventure experience.
Together with our participants from many different countries, they create a cosmopolitan community where different cultures can be discovered and friendships with children and young people from all over the world can be made.
The camp languages are English and German – depending on the location, the local language of the respective camp may also be used.

Pictures

We know how valuable it is to capture unforgettable memories! That's why we take as many photos as possible during the camps. However, our focus is on providing the children with an eventful time filled with exciting activities. Please understand that we cannot guarantee that every child will be captured in a photo.

Your child is welcome to bring a digital camera. It does not need to be handed in at check-in, but this is at your own risk.

As the internet connection on site is not always ideal, we are unable to share all photos on social media or our website during the camp. From autumn onwards, you will find all the photos on our website, where you can relive the best moments.
