A summer camp is an exciting and enriching experience for children, and a German summer camp offers them a unique opportunity to improve their German skills in a fun way. From exciting activities to intercultural encounters, there is much to discover at a German summer camp. But before it starts, it’s important that your child is well prepared and has everything they need to make the most of their time at camp.
Why is it important to think about what to bring in advance?
Before your child embarks on the adventure of German summer camp, it is crucial to think about the necessary equipment well in advance. A well thought out packing list will ensure that your child has everything they need for a smooth and enjoyable stay at summer camp. It also gives parents and their children the peace of mind that they are well prepared and can focus on the adventure.
While you will receive a student handbook with a detailed packing list after booking the summer camp, we would like to give you some ideas on what your child should bring to best prepare for the German summer camp.
Here are eight important things your child should pack in their suitcase:
-
Clothing for different weather conditions: Think T-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, pants, shorts, a rain jacket and a sweater. Weather can be unpredictable, so it’s good to be prepared for anything.
-
Comfortable Shoes: Both sturdy walking shoes and comfortable everyday shoes are important to get the most out of the various summer camp activities.
-
Toiletries: Toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, sunscreen and insect repellent should not be missing. Also, don’t forget to bring towels and possibly a sleeping bag.
-
Writing materials: notebook, pens, pencils, erasers and a German dictionary can help your child learn and retain new vocabulary.
-
Water bottles: make sure your child has a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.
-
Medication and allergy information: If your child needs certain medications or has allergies, it is important to share this information with us and bring the appropriate medications.
-
Swimsuits and Towels: If the summer camp has access to a pool or lake, a swimsuit/swim trunks and towels should not be missed.
-
Openness and good humor: Don’t forget to give your child a pinch of openness and good humor. The most important “tool” for a German summer camp is a willingness to try new experiences and go on an adventure.
Conclusion:
A German summer camp is a fantastic opportunity for your child to improve their German language skills, make new friends, and create unforgettable memories. By making sure your child is well prepared and brings all of the essentials, you can help ensure that they make the most of their time at summer camp. Use the packing list as a guide to make sure nothing is forgotten.
