Youth Survival Camp (ages 12–17)

Many people have experienced the tremendous power that wilderness education unleashes in seminars. As we sit around a campfire with like-minded people, we feel alive, connected, peaceful, and creative. Yet when we return to our everyday lives, we are often left with the feeling that we are living in two separate worlds. It can be challenging to bring the power of wilderness education’s core elements into our present-day lives, which follow different rules. This very process of transferring them is at the heart of our innovative year-long course. When we bring wilderness education into our everyday lives, we experience not only personal joy, resilience, and direction. Wearing the Coyote’s cloak, we also become inspiring role models for others. As we put the core elements of wilderness education into practice in our own lives and develop them further with the people around us to meet today’s needs, we become pioneers of a future Earth culture that sustains life. The training comprises five consecutive modules, with a total of 20 in-person seminar days, transfer exercises in between, and supplementary videos. Training topics 1. Friendship with nature2. Gift exchange3. Sharing reso

In this training, we explore through our own experience what such communities are founded on, so that we can foster their growth as mentors.

The Sahara is the largest desert on Earth. Like a sea, the sand dunes stretch to the horizon, creating an inspiring space of silence. Bedouins still live here today, connected to their traditional ways of life. In a caravan, they will travel with us and their camels across the vast expanse, so that we can encounter their culture, the desert, and ourselves.

Wilderness can also be experienced in and around cities. Over five consecutive days, children aged 7 to 12 discover nature at a day camp and spend the nights at home. Through creative play, exploring together, and small-group activities, they gain experience with plants, mammals, birds, tracking, and survival techniques. We accompany the urban foxes as they discover the secrets of nature.

Many of us reach for our phones before we even get out of bed. This weekend invites you to step away from constant stimulation, spend time in nature, and explore reducing overstimulation from our daily lives also known as dopamine detox through simple experiences, reflection, and practical tools you can continue using in daily life.

Together, we immerse ourselves in the wild landscape around Traunstein, grow together as a group, and enjoy games and a sense of community that show us how to live in deep connection with nature. We cook over the fire and learn practical skills that were helpful to people long ago when living in nature.

Experience five days of adventure in nature – explore the forest and meadows together, try out camp life, and cook your own meals over the fire. Experience a sense of community – each day brings a new adventurous challenge. Excitement, fun, and learning – ideal for children aged 8–12.

When we think back to our childhood, we will remember not so much the words that were said, but the experiences so memorable that they stay with us forever! Our Parent-Child Camp during the summer holidays is designed to create the setting for just such a wonderful memory. It is intended for children aged 7–14 and their parents (Mom, Dad, or both). Younger children are of course very welcome too. The minimum age of 7 is simply meant to indicate that from that age, children can take part in absolutely everything “for real.” The camp is limited to a maximum of 30 people. Together, you’ll spend five days in our wilderness camp in the forest with like-minded people, while learning all kinds of wilderness skills, games, and adventures along the way. We spend the evenings around the campfire, telling stories or making music. Anyone who likes may bring their instrument along.

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.
