Summer holidays are just around the corner: top camps for children in Berlin!

What's going on in the world of holiday camps? The summer holidays are just around the corner in Cologne, and for many parents that means thinking about how to look after their children over the six-week holiday. The challenge of finding an exciting and at the same time safe place for the kids is often not easy. Holiday camps offer an attractive solution here. They are a great way to give the children variety and new experiences, but they cost several hundred euros. All the better that there are funding opportunities for families with low incomes that can offer financial support. This emerges from the information from Berliner Zeitung.

Popular holiday camps can be found particularly in Brandenburg, where many offers are organized specifically for children who are leaving home for the first time. Whether in Boitzenburg Castle or at various adventure camps – the selection is diverse and offers something for every taste.

Diversity in the holiday camps

There are numerous exciting offers for the coming summer holidays. For example the **holiday camp in Boitzenburg Castle** from August 16th to 23rd. There, the little guests can live in shared rooms and are fully looked after. With four meals a day and program items such as magic and circus schools, canoe trips and night hikes, there is plenty of variety. The cost of 379 euros for seven nights is quite competitive. Bookings are possible directly via the [Schloss Boitzenburg website](mailto:info@schloss-boitzenburg.de).

A very special highlight is the **Dog Camp** in Oder-Spree, which takes place from August 10th to 14th. Children between the ages of 8 and 12 can live with a camp dog here and learn a lot about dog behavior. The support is excellent, with a maximum ratio of 1:12. For 449 euros, participants receive five nights of full board and various program offers. Information is available on the Campfuchs website.

For adventurous kids aged 8 to 16 there is the **survival adventure in the Kinderland Camp** in Barnim. Exciting activities such as treasure hunts, cycling tours and even archery are offered here. The costs for this range between 469 and 509 euros, depending on the booking period. If you prefer something a little more mysterious, you should try out the **Detective Camp** in Dahme-Spree. Here children learn how to preserve evidence and analyze crime scenes. Bookings are made via the City Kids website.

Funding opportunities for children and young people

An interesting aspect for families is the support from the Sonderfonds Ferien, which specifically supports projects for children and young people. This fund is intended to support community projects launched by non-profit organizations or associations. The funding amount is usually up to 5,000 euros and in exceptional cases can even be up to 10,000 euros. However, no applications can currently be submitted for this fund as acceptance of applications is temporarily suspended. Anyone interested can look forward to information here about when applications will be possible again.

The 2025 holiday camps promise not only adventure, but also unforgettable experiences and the opportunity to learn new skills. In addition to the local offerings, there are also exciting camps in countries such as Austria, Spain and Italy that offer a wide range of activities from outdoor adventures to language camps. A good hand in choosing the right camp definitely makes sense given the diverse selection!
