National Park Youth Camp (5 days)

Without shoes, a ranger and two teenagers squat in the stream looking for aquatic life

Wilderness, adventure, freedom

Mon 27 - Fri 31 July 2026

In the middle of Austria's largest forest wilderness, we spend a week together in the national park WildnisCamp. You will learn everything you need to know to find your way around in the wilderness. On our forays through the wilderness, we will learn about the way of life of lynxes and our native wild animals. You will learn to recognize and interpret their tracks in the forest and will soon notice that you feel more and more at home in the wilderness. Look forward to evenings around the campfire and exciting games. And if you're brave enough, you can even spend the night outdoors. Do you dare?

This is what awaits you!
+ Strong together: exciting games to get to know each other and team tasks that require cohesion.
+ Wilderness up close: discover the secrets of the forest on forays - track down lynxes and other wild animals and find out which plants are edible
+ Master outdoor skills: Lighting fires like real adventurers:inside with a drill bow or flint, building cozy sleeping places in the forest, carving useful things and even burning your own bowl. Orientation in the terrain becomes child's play!
+ Mountain stream adventure: Discover the mountain stream habitat together, feel the cool water and get to know the fascinating creatures of this special world.
+ Nights full of magic: Marvel at the starry sky and find the courage to spend a night under the open sky. Whether it's sneaking around, camouflage maneuvers or a night hike - the wilderness shows itself from a whole new side.
+ Campfire time: listen to stories by the fire and try out a real outdoor cooking technique with pit cooking.
