Description
Under the auspices of a non-profit, we operate a recreational and educational facility for inclusive movement arts, where learning, nature, circus and pedagogy come together.
We see our task in making children and young people hungry for life. In doing so, we want to awaken young people's curiosity about themselves, about others and about their environment. All our offers include real camps with overnight stays, which create space for children and young people to find and invent themselves again and again, away from the multicomplex and stimulus-flooded everyday life.
At our leisure farm, we offer young people an environment that invites them to try things out and thus creates creative opportunities for positive development. Being embedded in nature has a healing and inspiring effect. Our animals are included in an educational and therapeutic way.
Every year, 4,000 poor and rich, handicapped and non-handicapped, socially disadvantaged and sheltered, immigrant and German as well as learning-disabled and highly gifted children and young people meet at our holiday camps, school camps, family holidays and educational programmes (school for artists, circus education, qualification for voluntary work). These apparent opposites dissolve in the work with the medium of circus, in that each young person can contribute his or her individual abilities to the group, thus creating a social togetherness characterised by mutual respect and appreciation. At the same time, our children and young people are proud to have created something themselves.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Everyone who comes here enters into a cultural exchange, because we live in a community, everyone is different and shares their experiences and values. In communal activities, in the evenings around the campfire or in the forest at a cross-country game, otherwise in the circus training, the young people on the farm meet at eye level and can exchange ideas. In the middle of nature and among like-minded people, it is a blessing to get involved in new things and to learn. There are no disturbing factors here, such as car noise. Through this sensuality, everyone here can concentrate on themselves and their environment and fully enter into this energy. We notice every time that being part of the community helps the young people immensely. In the end, everyone has a huge added value and can go out into society with new tools of the trade, thus making a huge contribution to the community.
