Deutschlandreise – Traveling through the 16 states of Germany in 2 weeks is the theme of this year’s Sommer Camp at the Dank Haus. Children from age 4 – 10 explore Monday through Fridays from August 11th to August 22nd from 9am to 2pm language and culture fun through hands on activities. Making our own Bretzeln on Bavaria Day, enjoying water fun and games on Hamburg Day or a field trip to the Berlin Wall on Berlin Day are just a few of the activities that we have planned for August.
A typical day at the Sommer camp looks like this:
9am: fun morning routine reading books, singing songs, playing games and introducing the topics of the day.
10 am: the children will split up in two groups of children age 4 to 6 and age 7 to 10. During this segment the young travelers will learn about the states of the day and work on age appropriate activities and projects.

12pm: returning to groups, finishing up morning projects
1pm: Passport time: Children reflect on the information they have received during the day
