The first Camp phase

The homestay in a german familiy

Normally your host family welcomeed you at the arrival airport and took you to their homes. In some cases we arranged a transfer with an other family. 

You lived with your host parents in their family home. You took part of the family life and normaly they arranged some activities with you depending on their resources and personal circumstances. They respect your nutritional demands (at least vegetarian) and your health conditions. 

Depending on their age and that of other familiy members the guests may join sports activities and school visits sometimes in connection with other host families.

Camp stay -

Changing Energy Supply and Sustainability

Your host parents brought you to the camp location at the Youth-Hostel Duisburg Sportpark where we had a get together event.

On sunday we started with a big round of introduction for presentating yourself and get to know each other. This was accompanied and guided by a trainer and coach. During your camp stay you had the opportunity to give a presentation about your country and the special conditions of living. Please prepare a short Powerpoint presentation.

We had some different teaching and discussion rounds and gave you the opportunity to learn about your personality characteristics with a psychological tool for personality analysis (Structogram).

In the Sportpark you found many training possibilities.

During several excursions we visited the main cities Düsseldorf, Cologne and Bonn. Another part was waterskiing, canooing and swimming.

These actions were sponsored, organized and accompanied by several Lions Clubs who organised  and arranged the events.

Wir sind davon überzeugt, dass ihr eure positiven Erfahrungen mit dem Leben in Deutschland und insbesondere im Rheinland in guter Erinnerung behaltet und in euren Heimatländern darüber berichten werdet.

Unsere früheren Camps im Rheinland

5. Internationales Jugendcamp Rheinland

5. Internationales Jugendcamp Rheinland

LYC Prof. Dr. Bernhard Höltmann

21 junge Menschen im Alter von 17 bis 22 J (16 Frauen und 5 Männer) nahmen am diesjährigen Rheinland Jugendcamp der Lions teil. Sie kamen aus den USA, Mexico, Brasilien, Türkei, Indien, Israel, (Palästina), Taiwan, Griechenland, Dänemark, Finnland, Ukraine, Serbien, Italien, Rumänien und Deutschland.

Die Teilnehmer des 5. Internationalen Jugendcamps Rheinland 2018

 

Die Teilnehmer waren gemeinsam In der Jugendherberge Duisburg Sportpark untergebracht und führten dort Workshops zur Persönlichkeitsentwicklung,  interkultureller Verständigung und fairem Handel durch. Aufgelockert wurde die Zeit durch sportliche Aktionen (Klettern, Schwimmen, Kanufahren, Wasserski, Phantasialand), die von Leos und Lions aus zahlreichen rheinischen Clubs organisiert und finanziert wurden. Ausflüge zu den großen Metropolen des Rheinlands (Köln, Düsseldorf, Bonn) und Museumsbesuche (Bergbaumuseum, Haus der deutschen Geschichte, Freilichtmuseum Kommern und Römermuseum Xanten) rundeten das Programm ab. Highlight war der Besuch des Musical "Starlight Express" in Bochum.

Nach einem eindrucksvollen Vormittag im Friedensdorf Oberhausen und einer Farewell-Party in Duisburg am Freitagabend endete das Camp und alle Teilnehmer flogen zurück in Ihre Heimatländer. Es hat allen großen Spaß bereitet. Zahlreiche neue Freundschaften und internationale Verbindungen sind dabei entstanden - auch zu den 17 Gastfamilien, die einen oder zwei Teilnehmer 14 Tage lang beherbergt haben. Sicher hat auch dieses Camp wieder zum gegenseitigen Verstehen der Menschen unterschiedlicher Kulturen beigetragen. „Denn was man kennt“, sagte eine junge Frau aus dem fernen Indien, „kann man besser verstehen.“

Die nächste Anmeldung zu einem internationalen Lions Jugendcamps kann ab Dezember erfolgen. Unser Distriktbeauftragter Prof. Dr. Bernhard Höltmann hilft Ihnen gerne weiter.
