Summer camp "Experience nature creatively" at Werkhof Bistrica in Feistritz ob Bleiburg for girls and boys -

Being creative has many sides, some of which we want to discover together at the summer camp "Experience nature creatively". In the morning there is the possibility to either get to know improvisational theater in the theater group or to work with clay in the ceramics group and thereby create various objects. EACH CHILD IS ALLOWED TO DECIDE WHAT THEY WANT TO DO IN THE MORNING WHEN THEY REGISTER!!! In the afternoon we will go together on a search for traces in the forest, discover the forest life, build camp and fire places and create objects with natural materials. The final event on Friday will be the exhibition of the works of the ceramics group and a performance of the theater group for young and old on a natural stage.

The Explorer Camp - WHEN NATURE CREATES KNOWLEDGE - is aimed at young people between the ages of 8 and 12 who want to follow their spirit of discovery into nature. During the three days we will visit various landscapes where nature creates knowledge. Large contexts will be made visible and experienceable on a small scale. In the course of hikes, stories, scientific research methods and experiments, as well as awareness exercises, first-hand experiences are created that strengthen the personal (nature) connection. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, while deceleration awakens awareness.
