We look forward to spending a wonderful time with your children while you take part in the program. To ensure that everything runs smoothly for everyone involved, we would like to briefly introduce ourselves and what we offer.

Our aim is for all children to feel at comfortable with us. We therefore only look after children who are up for it. Please inform us about important requirements and needs of your children – preferably in advance or at least 15 minutes before your event. Of course you can also stay in the Kids Space with your children.

Most of us are not professional pedagogues, but we all have a lot of fun and/or experience with children. Your children are free to do what they want to do and we will only intervene in the event of violence (verbal or physical, against things, against others or against themselves).

We offer daytime childcare during the workshops and events. The Kids Space opens 15 minutes before the start of each event. Please bring your children in time so that we can do a handover and get to know each other a little.

During childcare, we can be reached via our own telephone number. We would also like to have your contact details and know which event you are attending so that we can contact you if necessary.

Fruit and water are available for snacks in between. Please let us know if your children have any allergies or intolerances.

Unfortunately, childcare cannot be offered in all languages. Please let us know which language(s) your children speak. However, many activities do not require a language (juggling, soccer, painting, etc.). There is an illustrated board for important needs and rules.

There will be no special children’s toilet, but there will be a children’s toilet seat. Please let us know if your children are dry and if we can accompany them if necessary. Please hand over non-dry children with a fresh diaper and come by to change them if necessary.

Childcare should be a place that is designed by childcare workers in an anti-authoritarian manner. This is an educational approach that aims to avoid authoritarian structures. The aim is to promote the development of independence and personal responsibility, with caregivers acting as supporters rather than authorities. For us, this means recognizing that children are self-determined and have their own needs and feelings. We want to promote this self-determination, independence, and the ability to make independent decisions.

Childcare should not be a space where children are simply dropped off and kept busy while their caregivers attend workshops. We want to ensure that we all understand more fully that children are an important part of our movement and, of course, of the camp. To this end, we also want to promote the visibility of children at the camp and strengthen their sense of belonging. This means that children are allowed to help shape the camp, are encouraged to claim spaces for themselves, and are encouraged to promote their own ideas. Their wishes and needs should also be heard. For this reason, children should also be able to convene delegate plenary sessions if they want to discuss something in this context.
