In the camps and workshops, Anita and Harald focus on specific goals that are appropriate to the tasks and the situation. In this way, they want to show the participants new ways and enable them to experience exciting adventures and learn something new in the process.

They use nature as our playground because it offers us plenty of space to discover and explore. Whether indoors or outdoors, they design the activities in places that are desired and focus on different themes.

Nature is a great place to learn and develop! 

"... the forest is a miracle and has these in store for us."

The children can and will experience nature with all their senses - feel, touch, hear, see and taste. They can let off steam, scream, run around, but also find peace and quiet, find a nest for themselves, build a cave for themselves. Nature is a protective space of experience that allows mistakes to be made and makes learning possible. Children will draw new strength and ideas and strengthen their immune system at the same time.

Please call 0664/4173083 to register for the offers (minimum 6 persons).

We open our barn door for a special kind of experience. School on the farm gives children and young people a genuine, hands-on insight into agriculture and, in our case, the dairy industry. Experience what it's like to milk a cow with your bare hands and drink the freshly milked milk directly from the cow's udder. The children and young people are actively involved in farming activities. The hands-on experience and the enjoyable tasting excites both younger and older children and promotes healthy, responsible eating habits. "Food is more appreciated when people experience how much effort and responsibility goes into its production. The active farmers teach young consumers how to treat the natural environment responsibly, to understand animal welfare and the quality of regional food".

Experiences are lessons learned that remain.
