Outgrowing themselves in a community.
In recent years, Kindness for Kids has established ten projects that are offered annually. During school holidays, children and their siblings between the age of 9 and 16 meet at our camps in order to experience fun, games and joy of living and to strengthen their self-esteem.
Experiential education is the main approach at the holiday camps. It aims to make the children face and manage new challenges, to reflect about the success and learn from it for the future. The camps provide the kids with numerous different adventures such as night hikes, high rope courses, theater, music, painting, handicrafts und much more.
