Discover the Wilderness of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern!

Every step an adventure, every route a story:

With the wind in your hair, you’ll explore the picturesque surroundings on varied cycling and hiking tours. A real highlight awaits you in the evening: Under one of the clearest skies in Germany, you can admire the sparkling Milky Way – far away from disturbing light pollution. By a crackling campfire, you’ll experience the magic of autumn nature in its purest form.

Experience animals, discover nature:

Our camp is the perfect place to experience adventures and learn new things. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of native animals and plants waiting to be discovered right on our doorstep. Colourful leaves, acorns and other fruits of autumn show you just how much nature changes throughout the seasons.

An unforgettable experience for animal lovers:

On a real farm, you’ll experience country life up close. Pet cute rabbits, watch chickens, feed goats and get close to horses. Here, you’ll learn more about the lives and care of these wonderful animals in a fun way – a real highlight for young and old alike.

Examples of nature excursions:

• The Bear Sanctuary offers the opportunity to observe impressive bears in a near-natural environment.

• The “Ivenacker Eichen” nature park invites you to discover a variety of animals and Germany’s oldest oak trees in an idyllic setting.

These and many other experiences will make your stay with us unforgettable. Whether exploring, observing or getting hands-on – at our Nature Camp, you’ll discover the world of animals and plants in a unique way.

Come outside and join us on an adventure – nature is waiting for you!

Exciting Additional Activities!

In addition to our daily nature experiences, there are countless opportunities to spend your time creatively and enjoy plenty of variety. How about exciting sports and team games or creative activities? Together with your new friends, you can play games, get creative, dance or try your hand at acting and rehearse a play.

A special highlight is our popular cooking workshops! Here, you’ll not only enjoy cooking, but also learn the basics of healthy nutrition in a fun way: from the composition and function of different foods to efficient techniques for peeling and cutting fruit and vegetables.

Of course, there is also time for important daily routines such as morning exercise, making your bed or organising your clothes. These activities promote patience, personal responsibility and discipline – skills that will also help you in everyday life.

Look forward to an unforgettable week full of fun, adventure and new friendships – with us at Schloss Leizen!

And what is just as important for a basketball player as training?

At our camp, it’s not just about sitting on a horse. You’ll be actively involved in the daily care of the horses: feeding, grooming, and saddling are just as important as riding itself. This creates not only a deep sense of trust but also a special bond with our horses that you won’t soon forget.

Locations

The Manor House

Photo Gallery

The Schloss Leizen manor was built in 1898 and was used as a hotel before it was extensively renovated in 2017 for a holiday manor for kids.

The castle has space for around 60 children and has a 1,200 m2 grass property surrounding the castle. You can find all sorts of things here: a professional volleyball field, a football field, a playground, an outdoor performance stage, a giant tent for eating and crafting activities, a shed for woodworking, and ping pong tables.

The Farmhouse

Photo Gallery

When the Schloss is full, some summer camp kids sleep at the farmhouse in Stuer, a 15-minute drive from Leizen. This renovated 19th-century red-brick building lies in the middle of the Mecklenburg Lake District, right next to a beautiful lake. The interior features high-quality wood finishes, with a toilet and shower, and a large common room for every 3 bedrooms, with 10 bedrooms in total. Meals are usually eaten outdoors. The surrounding property features an organic Demeter-certified farm, a small horse-riding ranch, a full-sized basketball court, volleyball field, football pitch, playground, ziplines, and a small coop with chickens and goats that kids love to pet.

Food

Your kids deserve to eat delicious, healthy food, so that’s what we offer. Both of our locations have professional kitchens where we cook fresh organic demeter-certified dishes, often using ingredients from our own farm. In our cooking workshops, kids can participate in the cooking process and learn that fresh self-made food is the most delicious, whether it’s fresh cream with salt and herbs churned to make delicious butter or self-rolled and self-garnished pizza baked in our pizza ovens! We always take into account children with special dietary requirements such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, histamine intolerance, and more.

Trips

Standard Trips

Part of an exciting holiday is taking exciting trips. Most kids love Beach Day at the nearby Lake Dambeck, where we build rafts, go canoeing, enjoy the beautiful summer weather, and eat freshly grilled hot dogs and chilled sliced watermelon. Another trip we commonly do is to the Bear Forest. Kids start at The Farmhouse and walk for half an hour through a prairie landscape before arriving at a large bear conservatory housing rescued circus bears behind large fenced enclosures. Kids delight in seeing these endearing but terrifying animals up close! These standard trips are included in any camp offering and do not cost extra.

Special Trips

Once or twice a week, we organize a special trip that lasts either half a day or a full day. This is a real road trip - our long-distance buses take us to a nearby city, where we get to do a sightseeing treasure hunt, visit a museum, or, when the weather is nice, have a beach day at a Baltic Sea beach. The trip is topped off with a visit to the cinema, popcorn included.

Due to the costs associated, we charge an additional 50€ for a half-day trip and 100€ for a full-day trip. However, these trips are optional! The kids who don’t want to participate stay at the camp, where they go through a full-day programme as usual.
