Where do we sleep?

Since edition 2022 it is also possible to participate with your own tent!

Yes, we need a minimum group size of 8 young people to run a holiday. In principle, all weeks will continue, as long as we have enough bookings in advance.

If you want to know which weeks are popular, see which weeks have a flame on them. They usually run best or have built up a nice group size in between. We understand that everyone would like clarity about whether the holiday will continue. That's why we try to give final information at least 1 week in advance whether it will take place or not.

In the unlikely event that we cancel your booking? Think about a back-up plan. For example, you can move your trip to another date, or you can get your money back.  Please feel free to let us know a backup date in advance.
