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.

IMPORTANT: Please pay attention to the signs near the camp, as most navigation systems will lead you to the wrong place!
UM-Service
If you use the airline’s UM (Unaccompanied Minor) service for the flight, we will provide you with all the necessary information about the person picking up your child in advance:
The following person is listed as the official contact:
Jan-Albert Vieth, Camp Adventure
Bahrenfelder Steindamm 22, 22761 Hamburg
Phone: +49 40 8080 576 11
Passport/ID No.: L1V50X531
Even if Jan is not personally at the airport, our team members are authorized to pick up your child. They will carry the appropriate power of attorney and can provide identification at any time.
Pocketmoney
For our camps in Germany, we recommend giving your child about 20 EUR per week in spending money. This can be used for snacks, ice cream, or small souvenirs, for example.
We recommend giving your child this spending money in cash, as card payments aren’t always accepted locally. 😊
Shuttle from/to the airport
Our arrival and departure shuttles to and from the camp are always accompanied by our trained Camp Adventure team. You’ll recognize our staff easily: they’ll be wearing brown CAMP ADVENTURE T-shirts, a red lanyard with a name tag, or holding a clearly visible CAMP ADVENTURE sign.
Depending on traffic conditions and group size, we use taxis, tour buses, or—if appropriate—public transportation such as the train for transfers.

You will receive the transfer questionnaire upon booking. It is also available at any time in the customer portal and must be completed in full no later than before departure.

Please give your child enough spending money or snacks and drinks for the trip on the day of arrival.
On the day of departure, the trip takes place after breakfast. For longer trips, we provide packed lunches. If your child is continuing on a longer journey, we recommend giving them some extra spending money for additional meals along the way.

Transfer Questionnaire
To ensure your child’s arrival and departure go smoothly and safely, we need the exact train connections.
You will receive the transfer questionnaire upon booking. It is also available at any time in the customer portal and must be completed in full no later than before departure.
Meals during transfers
Please give your child enough pocket money or snacks and drinks for the trip on the day of arrival.
On the day of departure, the trip takes place after breakfast. For longer trips, we provide packed lunches. For longer onward journeys, we also recommend giving your child some spending money for additional food and drinks along the way.
Travel from Your Area
As an additional option, we offer escorted train shuttles to Hanover from various locations in Germany. From there, our Camp Adventure shuttle takes you on to Walsrode and the camp.
The journey is made together as a group and is accompanied by a Camp Adventure team member. Boarding takes place directly at the respective train station on a regularly scheduled train. Parents hand their child over to our team in person there—directly on the platform or on the train.
Our team members are easily recognizable by their Camp Adventure clothing and reliably accompany the group from that moment on all the way to Hanover. There, our camp shuttle takes over the rest of the transfer to the camp.
The train connections are fixed and coordinated with our shuttle times from Hanover. After the return trip, the handover takes place again at the respective train station.
Meals:
For the trip there, please provide your child with snacks, drinks, or some pocket money. On the day of departure, the trip begins after breakfast. For longer journeys, we provide a packed lunch.

You can drop off and pick up your child at the following times:
Arrival: Sunday between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM
Departure: Saturday between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM
If you are unable to drop off or pick up your child at the times listed above, please contact us in advance—we will work together to find a solution.
Since many families drive to Walsrode on their own, there may be short wait times during check-in.
To ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible, here is a brief overview of the process:
Upon entering our grounds, you will be greeted by our team and given a large envelope. Please place all important documents and items that you would like us to keep safe inside:
- Health insurance card or health insurance confirmation
- Copies of flight or train tickets, if available
- Pocket money
- Medications, including dosage instructions
- Electronic devices and valuables such as cell phones, iPods, smartwatches, etc.
After you have parked, please proceed directly to check-in. Our staff will show you the way. There, you will hand over the envelope and officially register your child. Please bring only your carry-on luggage to check-in—the rest of your luggage can remain in the car for now.
After check-in, you’ll help our team unload the luggage from the car. We’ll then show you the way to your child’s tent or cabin.
Afterward, our camp leaders are happy to offer a short tour of the camp grounds for anyone interested.
Please note: All parents must leave the grounds by 6:00 PM, as that’s when the camp 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.
Email addresses for the camps:
Amrum:
Bath University:
Barcelona:
Bayerischer Wald:
Lauenburgische Seenplatte:
Lüneburger Heide:
Cornwall:
Sauerland:
Schloss Gadow:
Emails:
Please note that it takes about 24 hours for us to print, sort, and deliver emails. If you send your message in the morning, it will usually be handed out the next day. Emails are always distributed during Siesta time.
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.”
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:
Clothes:
What else you need:
Bed linen:
The following items are prohibited in the camp:
Helpful Packing Tips
- 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.
- For dirty laundry, we suggest using a cloth bag or pillowcase. Avoid plastic bags, as damp clothes can cause discoloration or mildew.
- 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.
- Please leave expensive tech gadgets and valuables at home. We do not take responsibility for items valued over 500€.
- 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.
