German-Polish summer camp 2026
20.-26 July 2026 in Hähnichen, Saxony
Would you like to spend a few active and creative summer holidays together with other young people from Germany and Poland? Then you are cordially invited to our German-Polish Summer Camp 2026!
The camp is organised by DLR_School_Lab TU Dresden and will be held together with a Polish partner association from Wrocław. You can expect a week full of science, nature, film and international encounters.
You can put together your own programme at the camp. We offer you a wide range of workshops, experiments and activities - you decide what you want to do. Perhaps you would like to investigate water and vegetation in the surrounding area, build a solar oven or construct vehicles that run on renewable energy? Or you can try out creative activities such as felting, making natural cosmetics or building bat houses. If you like being outdoors, you can take part in a field game, go fishing or observe animals on an evening walk. And for all film enthusiasts, there is the opportunity to make your own short film: from the shooting schedule to camera work and editing. There will also be language animations, a day trip planned by you and cosy evenings around the campfire with film nights together.
