"It was my first time at the sea and I built a sandcastle!"
- that's how it sounds like when the children return from their summer holiday camps.
They shine with joy and feel euphoric and excited.
For many of them, it is a unique experience and even often their first trip at all.
This feeling of anticipation of an adventure when you pack your travel bag, tuck your favorite cuddly toy under your arm and wait for it to start - for the majority of our children and young people this is not a matter of course and they will cherish the "Arche" holiday camp for a long time.
And that is precisely what is so important for development. Children should gain as much experiences as possible - being brave, discovering new things, making friends and having fun. This is the only way they can broaden their horizons, become self-confident and strong for life.
It doesn't matter whether the holidays are spent on the Baltic Sea or on our "Arche Ranch" in Brandenburg - a holiday camp is also a good opportunity for the educators to spend even more intensively time with the children and young people.
Problems are sometimes easier to discuss around the campfire, far away from school and parents. And a good conversation can already be the first helping step towards a better future.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support.
Only because of your donation we can give the children and young people this time-out and give them lively days full of excitement, joy and freedom.
We would be delighted if you would continue to support us and stand by our side.
May God bless you!
