Camp Europe was honestly a great experience. I met loads of people from all over the world, made good friends, and had a lot of laughs along the way. Camp life is busy and sometimes challenging, but that’s part of what makes it memorable. Living and working together with people from different countries creates a really fun atmosphere, and the experience pushes you out of your comfort zone in a good way. There were plenty of moments you’ll always remember, whether it was activities with the kids, evenings with other staff, or just the overall camp energy.

Overall, it’s a solid experience if you’re open-minded, enjoy meeting new people, and don’t mind getting stuck in. Definitely something I’m glad I did. One of the best parts of the experience was how quickly everyone bonded. You arrive not knowing anyone, and within days you’re surrounded by people who feel like friends you’ve known for years. Because everyone is away from home and sharing the same routines, conversations and friendships form very naturally. There’s always someone to talk to, whether it’s during activities, meals, or late evenings after a long day.

The work itself keeps you busy, but it’s also rewarding. Seeing the kids enjoy themselves, improve, and gain confidence makes the effort feel worth it. Every day is different, and there’s rarely a dull moment. Even when things are tiring, there’s a sense that you’re part of something bigger, and that shared experience brings people closer together.

Outside of work, there are plenty of moments that make the experience special, like joking around with other staff, sharing stories from different countries, and learning about different cultures. You definitely come away with new perspectives and memories that stick with you long after the camp ends.

Overall, Camp Europe is about the people you meet, the memories you make, and the personal growth that comes from stepping into something unfamiliar. It’s not always easy, but it’s genuinely fun, social, and unforgettable.

6 months full of love, growth, happiness! I was feeling so loved by kids and friends and it is the best feeling ever. The camp always makes you feel at home and I miss it already! I also grew so much both in professional skills and personal development, which I really appreciate since they make me who I am now. The journey was a bit challenging but totally worth it when you look back at it. I will always remember all the joy I gained from these six months! And if you get the chance to experience this program, don’t hesitate to do so!

Working for Campadventure has been a fulfilling and exciting experience. I worked as a teamer in an adventure camp for kids and teenagers in Germany. Being a teamer means taking care of a group of kids, explain and run the daily outdoor activities with them.
Never was there a moment where I felt bored, everything was a challenge for the kids and for me as well. Thanks to a strong community I have always felt supported, also during stressful times, and never left alone. I made really good friends, because the people working for Camp adventure have all something in common- that is, love for nature, for being active and a desire to step-out from the comfort-zone to find your true-self. In Camp you learn to think about life in a more easy and spontaneous way, that is why a lot of flexibility is required from the teamers: everyday is different and you need to be ready to face every kind of situation. Apart from running great outdoor activities like archery, canoe and kayak, raftbuilding , shelter-building, fire-making, high ropes, you get the chance to grow as a person and develop strong bonds with people from all over the globe. Overall I consider myself lucky to have had the chance to join the Campadventure community for the Summer 2021 and hope to be part of it again in the future.

The thing the stands out the most for me is the amount of fun that I had. With the kids, the teamers, the activities, the campfires, and everything in between! It's not an easy job, the days are long, we don't have a lot of free time and it's not for everyone but I will most definitely come back next year! You create such close bonds with your group of kids and I really felt like I was a big sister to my teenage girls, it's always sad to see them leave. It's the perfect opportunity to meet different people from all over the globe and to make true friendships.

Camp is so wonderful that you end up getting drawn back year after year! Coming back this year was like being welcomed back home by a wonderfully large family! Whilst overall organisation may not be the strongest at camp they make up for it in wonderful directors who support you with all your worries and queries throughout the summer, creating a incredibly strong and united teamer team who really are there for you whenever you may need it. If you're someone who enjoys the challenge of working outside and in nature with children and a wonderful team of young people and adults then camp is for sure the place for you!

I found Camp Adventure when I was bored at work and was looking for ways to travel in the summer. I got to Germany two months later and now I never want to leave. I have met so many cool people from around the world and made so many memories with the campers this summer. I have really enjoyed my time getting to go to four different camps throughout my placement and I even extended my stay for two more months. I wish I didn’t have to leave. I am already looking forward to camp next summer to make more friends and memories!

Since the training week to the last week, I enjoyed every minute, every day and every activity, of course we had some highs and some lows, but that didn’t stop us from being teammers and do great. rain, cold and Quarantine where only regular situations we were dealing with and at one point those things were just words that didn’t stop us from making someone else grow and learn. The way we impact some kids it’s just incredible, they just see us as role models, every detail, what we eat, how we laugh, when we are happy and when we’re ready for a great time.

I had an amazing time and really look forward to returning next year. I met amazing people who shared so many interests with me and got to do so much more than I imagined. The camp atmosphere was amazing and everyone was extremely welcoming. If you enjoy being outdoors and working with kids, this is the perfect opportunity to experience both together. My placement location allowed me to see the beautiful landscapes of Bavaria while also being able to visit the local town in Southern Germany. Camp Europe was a great way to spend my summer abroad.
