Camp Activities
We will explore the beautiful cities of Cologne, Bonn, and Koblenz along the Rhine River! You�ll also discover the nature and culture of South-Westphalia and the Westerwald. Highlights include the Cologne Cathedral, Phantasialand theme park, the German Aerospace Centre, Eltz Castle, and a boat trip along the Rhine.
Your camp stay will be at the Freusburg Youth Hostel near Siegen, an old castle offering a mix of medieval history and modern comfort. Most travel will be by public transportation, so participants will need to buy the Deutschland-Ticket (58�/month in 2025). We�ll help you with instructions for purchasing the ticket a few weeks before the camp. The ticket is valid for the whole of July, which is perfect if you arrive early or stay later!
Before the camp, you�ll need to prepare a 15-minute presentation about your home country and culture. This is a great chance to share your story with fellow campers and learn about others. Host families come from the South-Westphalia and Westerwald areas, giving you a true taste of local life.
Get ready for an unforgettable experience filled with adventure, culture, and new friendships!
