The summercamp at the school of the Salvatorian Sisters has become a tradition and enjoys great popularity.
Every year during the holidays the school grounds will be transformed into a large sports and leisure arena.

For almost everyone who takes part, it is the only holiday activity. Nowadays it is not unusual for both parents to be working and often they have little time for their children.
For holidays with the family, at home or even abroad, often the family budget is not enough. In order to shorten the long holidays for the children, to provide some variety and distraction, we invite them to these holiday camps.

Especially this year the summer camp is particularly important. Even though the violent clashes and war are taking place in the south of the country, the consequences of the crisis and the conflict can still be felt in the north and in our school. Many children suffer from poor concentration and anxiety. Many families are suffering from the economic repercussions and there is great tension among parents and in society.

The summer camp at our school offers an important distraction and opportunity for the children to play carefree and spend time with friends. Games of skill, archery, the climbing wall experience, but also simple games spur them on.  Swimming and a trip to the seaside are great highlights.

This year we are planning our summercamp with 400 children, aged between 4 and 12 years. The daily activities offer games, fun, exercise and a variety of learning experiences. Football, volleyball and basketball are very popular. Also the sports activities strengthen the children's team spirit and self-esteem

Our sport teachers, many volunteers, mostly older and former pupils, are role models for the younger ones and help to motivate them. For the parents, it is reassuring to know that their children are well looked after and kept busy.
The summer camp takes place in two groups, each lasting two weeks and with 200 children each day (Monday to Friday) from 07.30 - 15.30.

The beneficiaries are 400 children and their parents.
The costs for materials, carers, games and lunch are around 8.00 euros per child per day.
Where possible, the children pay 5.00 euros per day, a total amount of EUR 60 for a fortnight. Not every family can afford this.

A total of 9.500 euros must be raised through donations to help approximately 150 families.
