What is it about?

The Passau Child Protection Association’s summer camp takes place during the first three weeks of the Bavarian school break on the grounds of Freudenhain High School in Passau. As part of the camp, a wide variety of fun workshops in sports, games, art, crafts, cooking, music, dance, theater, nature, and more are offered daily for students up to about 12 years old.

What do I need to do?

During the summer semester, you and your team members should design one or more workshops for children aged 5–8 and/or 9–12, and then hold them on a date between August 3 and August 21. You will plan and organize everything independently as a team, in consultation with the Child Protection Association. At your first meeting with the Child Protection Association, you will agree on a suitable date for the workshop and its content.

  • The workshop’s content can be freely designed, but should, of course, be tailored to the age group.
  • AYCD teams often offer workshops with intercultural themes, such as painting cloth bags in different languages, mini-language courses, regional studies, cooking, and even “Programming with Scratch” has been included.
  • Classrooms, a small kitchen, a soccer field, a volleyball court, a gym, and green spaces are available. There is also a wide selection of various play and craft materials.
