Camp

Similar to tennis, yet incomparable!

Many many games!

Frisbee games can be played anytime and almost anywhere.

An X-Athlon provides an answer to the question: how do you engage groups of children in a challenging and varied way without too much material expense?

Useful advice for various venues and situations

Program blocks in the camp program:

- in which all can participate

- which must "carry" over a long period of time 

- where material and location can be organized to some extent 

Four different viewpoints on orienteering:

- Wildlife and bird species in contact with orienteers
- Sensitive terrain areas
- Consequences for course layout
- Ecological orienteering calendar

The forest offers ideal conditions for hide-and-seek as well as adventure games. However, clear rules must be agreed and certain safety precautions taken

Your camp participants should have many play options and opportunities available to them in the non-programmed time in camp ("marginal times") in self-selected play groups, in pairs or alone

Enterprises are larger games and sporting events in camp, such as:

- Olympiads
- Games tournaments
- Major competitions
- Games festivals

Are you taking home 3 cans of pepper and salt again after every camp?

Do you re-buy all your spices before each camp - and then find more somewhere?

Spices have a long shelf life and can therefore be used again in the next Pfila

What to do if you have non-swimmers in your group?

Making as much oil (Coke cans) dry up as possible and being the first to reach the finish line - these are the high goals that the teens set for themselves in this game.

Who dares, wins!

What do we mean by a project?

Project programs aim to meet the needs and interests of teenagers, or simply to pursue certain activities over a longer period of time, whereby active participation / design is required.

Teenagers create one or more circus shows

As a youth group, our aim is to pass on a word from the Bible to young people and adults in addition to sporting competitions. A prominent guest is also invited each time.

Encourage the teens' existing creativity and let it come to the fore by planning, designing and realizing a joint project. It is possible and sensible to let the teens themselves work out the type and execution of a project in the competition. The joint realization of the project should lead to a sense of achievement, which encourages more creative activities (project can be combined with public relations work!)
