Weekend camp on June 18 – 20, 2027 in Müncheberg / OT Hoppegarten

We celebrate the beginning of spring and 13 years of Wildnisschule Waldschrat. Around the spring equinox, we come together to celebrate the light and vitality of spring. You’ll get to know our work, our camp, and the surrounding area. Come by and celebrate with us!

Unnoticed by other people, we move silently, invisibly, and without a trace through the thicket, along game trails, and sometimes in the water. We sleep in a different place every night, under the open sky. We pay special attention to the mysterious language of the birds, which are especially active at this time of year and can tell us a lot about our surroundings. We also set out in search of tracks of the Great Greys. We are all traveling together here.

In our family camps, generations meet and connect. In the midst of nature, a supportive and harmonious community quickly takes shape, one that supports and sustains, inspires and motivates its members. Children naturally and effortlessly find their way to one another, while adults can discover more room for conversation and time for themselves. For a few days, a small, wild village takes shape, and it becomes clear how beautiful, powerful, and meaningful communal life close to nature can be. Life in the Clan The demands of modern life and the lifestyle that comes with it place particular pressure on families. Parents and children spend most of the day apart, as work, learning, and family life take place in different locations. If things go well, they have mealtimes together and the weekend, when there is always one thing or another to take care of. Simply being together, flowing with the passage of time, has become rare. The Wilderness Family Camp is about simply having time together for a weekend, whether as a single-parent, blended, or nuclear family, or as an extended family group: being outdoors, making things by hand, cooking together over the fire, going on little journeys

Our summer holiday camps guarantee especially intensive experiences of nature and community, because at our wild meadow right by the forest lake, we do almost everything ourselves.

For experienced wilderness enthusiasts, we run a two-week camp in summer at our somewhat wilder site in northern Värmland, Sweden. This is where the taiga begins: the great northern coniferous forest belt, home to moose, wolves, wolverines, lynxes, and brown bears. Vast forests, countless blueberry bushes, thick carpets of moss, colorful marshes, and clear lakes are their habitat. We are fortunate to be able to explore these areas, which were settled by humans very late and are still sparsely populated, and to immerse ourselves deeply in the wilderness of Scandinavia.

The days grow shorter, the air cooler and damper, the leaves on the trees glow with colour, and whitish-grey mist rises. The plants retreat into the earth, and the animals are busy preparing for winter. We, too, feel an increasing need for rest, retreat, and sufficient nourishment. It is autumn. We make ourselves cosy by the fire, listen to adventurous stories, and devote ourselves to ancient crafts.

BY REQUEST Ideas for an unforgettable children's birthday party Watch the clouds with a blade of grass in your mouth, run through cornfields, splash vigorously through puddles, climb trees, and feel as free as a bird. These are nature experiences that have remained firmly etched in the minds and hearts of adults when they look back on their childhood spent with and in nature. We want to give your child and their guests a lovely memory like this at a children's birthday party in nature in Leipzig. Our birthday party ideas for children are tailored to their age and the season, with wonderful craft activities and nature games for children & young people. We have a selection of themes to serve as inspiration, featuring lots of exciting forest games. Forest birthday parties for boys and girls Whether you want to go on a treasure hunt, do crafts in a creative nature workshop, or play adventurous forest games—we have exciting birthday party ideas ready for boys and girls of various age groups. Celebrating a children's birthday party in the forest can have many advantages, because we can make use of the natural elements and the open space that nature offers for our special occasion. G

By the time this wilderness and nature education program begins, it is already autumn and many trees have lost their leaves. Perhaps one storm or another has given us lots of branches. We can use them for building—for example, a proper shelter or a tipi. Winter is approaching and it gets dark earlier, so we can play lots of games in the dark while staying within the safety of the grounds. This is especially exciting and sharpens the senses. You know how it is: some animals are only out at night and can only be spotted in the dark. Of course, we also use light, and the campfire will often keep us warm when we carve tools or need some hot, fresh herbal tea. If the weather is too rainy or stormy, we explore and discover nature in our project workshop in a playful or experimental way. One thing always applies: Whether it rains or the sun shines during our activities, we explore our surroundings, build, search, gather, play, paint, hide, make crafts, carve, and learn through play about our wild neighbors—the animals of the forest, as well as the plants and trees of the season. If it gets a little chilly, we warm ourselves by the campfire.

With the Woodland Explorers, you can enjoy nature adventure days in our area around the Sechs-Seen-Platte in Duisburg throughout the year. Depending on the weather and the season, we roam through the forest, along the water, or even out on the water. We practise all the important skills that could be useful outdoors in nature, and you learn how to find your way around. We are basically in “explorer mode,” following wherever things lead. Freedom to learn and free time in nature make it possible to have many different experiences in nature, even close to the city, and to build a stronger connection with the natural environment. We explore the animal and plant life in each season and, above all, spend a lot of time moving around. We won’t just walk: sometimes we’ll be very quiet, build, climb, whittle, paddle on the water in a canoe or on a SUP, or let the wind blow us along while sailing. On some dates, you can also look forward to a little forest yoga journey. It strengthens your sense of your body and gives you extra superpowers if you need to overcome a few obstacles on your next nature adventure. If you like, a badge awaits you at the end of your time as a Woodland Explorer, pro

Welcome to Fuchs Club Escape everyday life. Get out into nature. Head into adventure. Welcome to Fuchs Club – the new workshop series for children aged 5 to 15 who would rather be outdoors than sit still indoors. Here, children discover, experiment, build, play, marvel, and sometimes get a little dirty. 😉

With our forest explorer groups and forest playgroups, we create a space for children and families to spend an exciting, educational and memorable time in the forest outside childcare and school hours. The groups meet regularly outdoors, are led by a qualified forest playgroup leader and cover four age groups in total: Waldmäuse (Forest Mice): for expectant parents and parents with children aged 0 to 2Waldbienen (Forest Bees): for parents with children aged 2 to 4Waldameisen (Forest Ants): for children aged 4 to 6Waldfüchse (Forest Foxes): for children aged 6 to 12
