Camp 2025
1st – 7th August
⋅ Summercamp for kids ⋅ Kindersommerlager ⋅ Letní tábor pro děti ⋅
We are looking forward to inviting kids and teenagers, who love to be in wild nature, who are not afraid of foreign languages and who actively want to use their language skills, for example English, no matter how good or bad it might be.
The place is situated about one hour behind the Bavarian border, hence, it is a good option to share a car or to take the same train. We can help with the organisation by email or phone.
Where?
Our beautiful, large garden is in a remote, secluded location out in the countryside near Horažďovice. We have meadows for the tents surrounded by wild forests and rocks. In August, trees hang low from sugar-sweet pears and plums, and about 10 different types of butterflies flap through the air. Everything blooms in full magnificence.
When?
on Saturday, 27th of July, arrival at 12 o’clock
until Friday, 2nd of August, departure at 12 o’clock
Age
10 – 15 years 
(More important than the age is the independence of the child.)
Important things to know
- we cook vegetarian food only
- we sleep outside in tents and sleeping bags
- we mainly speak English at the camp, but we both know German and Kaya knows Czech, so no child will be lost in translation 😉
- we will be walking a lot, so a suitable condition is needed
Journey Here
We can help with the organisation of carpooling, as soon as we know where you come from. Another good option would be to travel (together) by train, see for example the Bayern-Böhmen-Ticket.
Price
119,- € / 2.900 Kč until 30th of June
this includes activities, meals and camping costs.
Please bring enough pocket money for occasional visits of souvenir shops and ice cream parlours.
