International Camps Network

This was my second time at camp, and I am already looking forward to go back for summer 2024 as a third year returnee. It's incredible how different it feels when you come back expecting that it will be the same as the previous year. My advice: go with an open mindset, ready to face challenges and create new friendships, but overall, ready for improving as a human being (self growth is huge at camp). This time I felt much more confident when running activities for kids and teens, and I also got the chance to travel around Europe during my week off together with some international friends. It somehow all worked out great, and I feel so greateful for it. At this point, camp is now part of my summer family and I am willing to drop by whenever I can cause it fills me with so much joy.

Just come :) You won't regret.

So much fun, adventure, chaos and energy. I was at camp for a month, and it went by so quickly, because I was so absorbed in the moment! I was never an adventurous person but I went for the experience and I have no regrets. It's a great place to step outside of your comfort zone and throw yourself into a challenge. I've left camp with more energy, more friends, more confidence than I had going into camp. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to try something new, something adventurous, and meet some cool people.

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!
