Overview
At WuW Camp, no more than 35 children and teenagers aged 10 to 17 spend a week at Lake Alfsee. The supervisors are there around the clock and sleep in the room next to the children at night. Your child must be a confident swimmer, at least at the level of the German bronze swimming badge. If they fall ill, we call you.
Your child is in a small group: there are no more than 35 children and teenagers at camp each week, with six to eight per supervisor. The supervisors are there around the clock, on the water, on the beach and in the cabins.
On the water, dedicated coaches support every child at their own level, from the first start to new tricks.
Your child must be a confident swimmer, at least at the level of the German bronze swimming badge. You confirm this at registration.
Everyone wears a helmet and life jacket on the water, and both are provided at camp. Campers ride Lift 1 and Lift 2 at the cable park on Lake Alfsee, during public sessions and all together.

Anything the supervisors need to know about your child's health, you tell us beforehand: at registration and in the declaration of consent.
If your child feels unwell, we call you, and for anything more serious we bring in a doctor. How we handle medication and intolerances is covered in the questions on health & food.
The camp rules and the supervisors' instructions apply. You confirm this with the declaration of consent.
After a serious breach, a child can be sent home once we have spoken to you. The terms and conditions set out what happens then.
There is one number for everything, before you book and during camp week alike. If you cannot get through, send us an email or ask for a call back using the contact form.
If anything comes up with your child, we get in touch ourselves.
