Description
Holiday activities for children - creative experiences with a varied programme
Welcome to our Kids Camp, where creativity and adventure go hand in hand! Throughout the week, we’ll paint, work with clay, and dive into all sorts of crafty projects. We’ll also explore museums, play games both indoors and outdoors, watch an artsy movie together, and start every morning with a little yoga and dance to wake up our bodies and imaginations. It’s the perfect mix of movement, creativity, and big smiles.
Your camp fee includes all art materials, entry to external activities, and all daily meals (znüni, lunch, and zvieri). The only extra cost not included is transportation for excursions, such as tram tickets.

Language
While most of our instructors speak German, the official camp language is English.
Location
Our camp takes place across two nearby studios: Bederstrasse 94 and Schulhausstrasse 52. Morning drop-offs take place at Bederstrasse 94, while afternoon pick-ups happen at Schulhausstrasse 52. The two locations are only a 3-minute walk apart.
!!! Important Information for Parents (Please Read Before Signing Up) !!!
Age Requirements
Our camp is designed for children aged 6 and above. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate younger children, even if an older sibling is participating. The majority of our campers are between 8 and 9 years old, and the program, activities, and overall pace of the day are tailored specifically to this age group.
Younger children often find it challenging to keep up comfortably, and we want every participant to feel confident, included, and safe. Thank you very much for your understanding.
Drop-off & Pick-up Times
To keep our camp running smoothly, we kindly ask all parents to respect the official drop-off and pick-up times.
Drop-off begins at 8:45 am, and we may not be able to accommodate early arrivals, as our team is preparing the space and activities for the day.
Similarly, we ask that all children are picked up no later than 5:15 pm. If a child is picked up late, an additional supervision fee may apply to cover the staff’s extended time.
Thank you so much for your understanding and cooperation — it helps us create the best possible environment for all campers!
Food
Although we provide food throughout the day, we kindly ask that your child arrives having had a proper breakfast. Our morning snack consists of a smoothie and a cookie, which may not be enough to keep children energized until lunch if they start the day hungry.
Behaviour Expectations
To ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for all children, we kindly ask parents to understand that repeatedly disruptive behaviour cannot be accommodated.
If a child’s behaviour consistently interrupts the group or prevents activities from running safely, we may need to contact parents for an early pick-up.
Please note that refunds are not possible in such cases.
Children Requiring Additional Support
We want every child to have a positive and safe experience at camp. However, our current team structure does not allow us to provide the level of individual support required for children with certain disabilities or special needs. We have two instructors supervising the group, and they unfortunately do not have the training, resources, or capacity to offer the specialized care, attention, or support that some children may require.
For this reason, we may not be able to accommodate children who need dedicated or specialized support.
We truly appreciate your understanding, and we make this decision solely to ensure the wellbeing and safety of all children in our care.
Everything Parents Need to Know
Our Holiday Art Camp is designed specifically for children aged 6–12 years.
We really mean this age range. The projects, teaching style, activities and overall pace of the camp have been carefully designed for children of this age.
Most of our campers are between 8 and 9 years old.
Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate younger siblings, even if an older brother or sister is attending.
Yes—but only if places remain available.
Our Holiday Art Camp is designed as a full-week experience, allowing children to build friendships, complete longer creative projects and become part of the group.
If places are still available two weeks before the camp starts, we may release Day Passes.
Week Passes always receive priority.
Every day is different!
Children will enjoy painting, ceramics, arts and crafts, yoga, movement games, museum visits, parks, outdoor adventures and plenty of creative activities throughout the week.
The programme balances creativity, movement, exploration and play, making every day exciting and varied.
Every day includes:
🥤 Znüni (morning snack)
🍽️ Lunch (a crowd-pleaser)
🍎 Zvieri (afternoon snack)
Please make sure your child has already eaten a proper breakfast before arriving.
Our Znüni is intended as a light morning snack and may not be enough to keep hungry children going until lunchtime.
Please send your child with:
👕 Comfortable clothes suitable for creative activities
🧥 Clothing appropriate for the weather
💧 A reusable water bottle
🎫 A valid public transport ticket for excursions
We’ll take care of everything else.
All planned activities, entrance fees and art materials are included in the camp fee.
The only additional cost not included is public transport, such as tram tickets needed for excursions.
Unfortunately not.
Drop-off begins at 08:45.
Our team uses the time beforehand to prepare the studios, materials and activities, so we may not be able to supervise children arriving earlier.
Please collect your child between 17:00 and 17:15.
As our team finishes the day together after camp, additional supervision fees may apply for late pick-ups.
Our Holiday Art Camp takes place across three nearby studios.
📍 Morning drop-off: Bederstrasse 94
📍 Afternoon pick-up: Schulhausstrasse 52, or Bederstrasse 77
The three studios are only around a 3-minute walk apart.
Each camp welcomes 8–16 children and is supervised by two instructors.
Keeping our groups small allows us to create a safe, personal and inspiring environment while giving every child plenty of attention.
The official camp language is English.
Most of our instructors also speak German, so children can always ask questions or receive help in either language.
No problem!
If the weather isn’t suitable for outdoor activities or excursions, we’ll simply replace them with additional indoor creative projects, games and activities.
We want every child to have a wonderful and safe experience at camp.
However, our current team structure does not allow us to provide dedicated one-to-one support or specialised care. Our instructors unfortunately don’t have the training, resources or capacity required to support children who need individual assistance throughout the day.
If you’re unsure whether the camp is suitable for your child, we’d be happy to discuss it with you before booking.
Our Holiday Art Camp is built around kindness, creativity and respect.
Children should feel comfortable participating in group activities, following instructions and treating both fellow campers and our team respectfully.
If a child’s behaviour repeatedly disrupts the group or prevents activities from running safely, we may need to contact parents for an early pick-up.
Unfortunately, refunds cannot be provided in these situations.
Bookings may be transferred to another child at any time.
Cancellations and changes are possible up to two weeks before the camp begins.
Unfortunately, cancellations or changes are no longer possible after this point, as staffing, materials and activities have already been planned.
