Ferienhort Allround-Camp — two weeks on Lake Wolfgangsee

The Allround-Camp condenses the Ferienhort experience into two weeks for participants aged nine to eighteen, and is aimed at those who want to fit as much as possible into a short stay. Sport, creativity, nature and adventure run into one another across a daily rhythm of five programme units, two in the morning, two in the afternoon and one in the evening, from which participants choose their own activities. Water sports are taster-led, with stand-up paddling, monster tube rides and introductory sailing and rowing sessions on Lake Wolfgangsee. Experienced participants can take sailing further: advanced crew training and an inland sailing licence course are offered on this camp only.

The camp price covers accommodation on the camp site, four meals a day and supervision by the camp team, together with the full activity, water sports and creative programme, the evening highlights and the excursions in the surrounding area that form part of it. The maximum ratio on this camp is ten children per group leader. A supervised group coach transfer from and to Vienna is offered separately and is not part of the camp price. Reductions of between a quarter and the full camp price are available through the association's social fund where there is social need.

Participants live on the camp site in the main building. Each group has its own living area with bedrooms and washrooms, and groups are allocated by age and gender. Younger groups sleep in dormitories of sixteen to eighteen beds with their own washrooms, showers and toilets. Older participants stay in rooms of two to eight beds with more privacy, sharing a shower and toilet with the neighbouring room. On this camp there are eight groups of up to fifty-four children each.

The camp has its own kitchen team and prepares four fresh meals on site every day: a breakfast buffet, a hot lunch, an afternoon snack and dinner, with a soup of the day and a salad bar that changes daily. A vegetarian selection is available. Baking cookies and grilling bread on a stick over the campfire are part of everyday camp life, and meals are taken together on the camp site.

Water activities include stand-up paddling, monster tube rides, swimming and cliff jumping from the diving board or the small cliff, plus taster sessions in sailing and rowing with the association's own fleet and advanced sailing training for experienced participants. On land there are football tournaments, volleyball, basketball, baseball, tennis, a fun court, disc golf and archery, indoor halls for wet weather, mini golf and table tennis, climbing, bouldering and high-ropes elements, and camp classics such as 360-degree football, Quickball and Russian skittles. Creative options include crafts, painting, body painting, jewellery, friendship bracelets and tie-dye in the creative workshop, music on piano, drums and guitar with singing and karaoke, photography, film, radio and event technology. Excursions in the surrounding area are part of the programme, and evenings bring the talent show, campfires, movie nights, a torchlight walk, a beach rave or a disco.

The camp stands on the association's own site of 400,000 square metres on the shore of Lake Wolfgangsee, in a quiet location outside the village and surrounded by lake, forest and mountains. There is private lake access and the association's own boat harbour. Sports provision includes outdoor pitches for volleyball, basketball, football, baseball and tennis, a fun court, a disc golf route and archery, indoor halls for wet weather, mini golf and table tennis, and a climbing wall with bouldering and high-ropes elements. The creative workshop, known as the Villa Kunterbunt, is used for crafts, painting, jewellery and textile work, and there is a music room, a large stage, a multi-purpose hall used for group meetings and indoor games, and campfire areas. Accommodation and catering are in the main building on the site, which can host up to 420 children and young people.

Two weeks are enough for a full camp arc: settling in, trying a wide spread of activities and closing with the camp's own highlights. Days follow a clear five-unit rhythm with group meetings after breakfast, at midday and in the afternoon, and a midday break for rest. Participants live in group living areas separated by age and gender, so younger and older camp members each have a setting that suits them. Children may keep a mobile phone with them and have time each day to call home, usually during the midday break, within a frame agreed by the group leaders and the educational leadership. Parents have a named contact in the educational leadership team throughout the stay.
