The EMPOCA camps
We create magical moments that your child will remember for a lifetime.
We are the future!
Our camps offer living, learning and experience spaces in which children aged 6 and over and young people can understand complex ecological and economic relationships in a simple, natural way and learn social skills in the process.
In natural spaces, children and young people learn to appreciate and protect nature. We offer various programs. You can find out more about the content here. Intrinsic learning about crafts, games and cooking are the focus. A meal together rounds off the program.
program
Our varied program consists of experiential educational, creative and nature sports activities. After each action, the group reflects on and traces the experience together. During the rest periods, participants can relax actively and passively.
Intrinsic learning about crafts, games and cooking are the focus. A lot of exercise, a healthy diet and a social, mindful interaction with one another are just as important in our camps as the content of our programs.
Accommodation
Our camps take place at holiday resorts of different sizes, where only our group stays. Accommodation is in modern shared rooms and there are...
Meals
Before camp, you will buy enough food for the weekend. The participants support the cooking team in preparing delicious meals. We eat a vegetarian and varied diet.
team
Our black team members have many years of experience with children's groups and a lot of joy. You are at school, training, studying or working. Everyone is responsible for five children in the camp and for organizing selected activities. Anyone who takes part in the camp as a team member has, in addition to a first aid certificate and an extended certificate of good conduct, completed a personal interview and a training course lasting several days.
Security
The safe accommodation of the participants is guaranteed by the team’s high level of attention. One teamer is responsible for a maximum of 5 children. The general rule for our camps is that participants are only allowed to leave the holiday resort with team members.
