Holiday course during the autumn holidays for children aged 6-11 years
October 19th to 23rd, 2026 in Achim
Come join other children and experience the tribal life of ancient indigenous peoples. Sit together around the fire, tell stories, and try your hand at traditional crafts. We'll roam through forests and meadows, explore exciting things in nature, and collect a variety of natural materials and wild plants. With these natural treasures, we'll return to camp, where the "wild" life of community awaits you.
Experience the diversity of traditional crafts, just as they were known to ancient indigenous peoples. Practice ancient skills such as carving, leatherworking, basket weaving, and cord making.
Discover the vibrant world of wild plant dyes and make paper from plant fibers. Create useful and beautiful objects from natural materials with your own hands. Let your creativity run wild and discover all the things you can create with nature's bounty.
We'll discover which of nature's treasures you can eat and what amazing things you can make with them. On the last day, we'll prepare lunch together and cook over an open fire!
Feel connected to nature as you experience camp life with other children. There's so much to discover! We look forward to being part of the wild tribe with you and sharing the secrets of nature.
