Children’s Camp Holiday Program Traunstein on May 18, 2027 in Traunstein

The quiet time begins. Darkness is present everywhere and already carries the light within it. We invite you to a day camp at the Riedlhof wilderness site. Together, we’ll make a fire, welcome the Rauhnächte (the Twelve Nights), and cross a threshold through the veils of time. Traditional incense herbs will accompany us throughout the day, and together we’ll create an incense blend for the Rauhnächte. You’ll receive an incense blend to take home, to accompany you through the Rauhnächte. Circle culture, along with singing and making music together, forms the framework for every wilderness camp at Riedlhof. Along the way, you’ll also learn various wilderness routines and skills. Healing through connection is our guiding principle at Riedlhof. Interwoven with all areas of community life, it is also the overarching motto for our activities beyond the farm.

FOR ALL “CURRENT” AND FORMER FOREST SCOUTSDo the Forest Scout afternoons sometimes seem too short to you too? That’s why this summer, let’s spend a whole week together again exploring, building, playing, cooking over the fire, telling stories around the campfire and, above all, sleeping together under the starry sky, by the fire or in shelters we’ve built ourselves. At this gathering, Forest Scout group mentors and children from all over Bavaria come together. It’s a unique opportunity for children and mentors to share their skills, games and knowledge—and to challenge themselves and grow along the way.

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.

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.

Dive into the world and knowledge of the Youth Scouts. The holiday camps for young people aged 12 to 16 cover the skills and abilities needed to live in the wilderness, as well as animals and tracks, birds, plants, weather, trees, wood, and survival. Each camp has its own focus and can be booked as a standalone event. Beginners can also take part in any Youth Scout Camp.
