Group offers

Youth groups (10–14, 14–18)

Experience nature and community. Our youth group sessions are all about nature and exciting activities. You will learn how to make fire, produce chestnut soap, build huts and camps, and tie knots.

Each meeting offers the opportunity to try something new, experience nature up close, and acquire new practical skills. Join us and discover how much fun it is to be active outdoors and experience unforgettable adventures!

Youth club (ages 14 and up)

We invite you to join us for weekly meetings at the Mobile Fass on the edge of the forest. Cooking over a campfire, meeting other young people from the area, and gathering your ideas on environmental protection are our top priorities here.

With the youth club, we want to create a valuable offering that is free from alcohol, nicotine, and drugs. We also want to encourage critical thinking about consumption. In this way, we raise awareness about you, your health, and a bright future.

Treetop Pioneers (ages 18 and up)

The Tree Top Pioneers is our offering for all tree house technicians aged 18 and over. We provide a relaxed atmosphere at monthly campfire meetings, as well as at smaller events such as bowling, movie nights, sauna visits, hikes, or trips to the bouldering hall.

The focus here is not only on fun, but also on sharing experiences and nurturing our community. Whether you’ve been with us for a long time or would like to join us, everyone is welcome to become part of this network.

Treehouse camp (ages 11–16)

We will show you and your friends how to professionally build a real tree house. There are 8 places available over a total of 5 program days. The event will be supervised by qualified social educators, technical educators, and several trained youth leaders and professional climbers from the Association of Tree House Technicians.

Everyday life at the camp will be filled with games, singing, swimming, campfires, sauna evenings, cooking together, and, of course, treehouse building.

Hackathon

Are you a tinkerer, hobbyist, or budding inventor who develops great solutions and loves new innovations? Here, your project and your idea can become reality and make tree houses even more attractive from a technical standpoint.

The hackathon is a cool event where children and young people work together in teams to develop innovative projects, small prototypes, videos, apps, and software solutions within project groups.

Forest conservation activities

Collecting trash, beekeeping, building insect and bird houses, planting trees, maintaining FFH meadows, removing dead wood, and caring for trees are just a small part of the forest conservation activities.

The main task of the association is to make the forest more valuable, optimize visitor guidance and information, and engage people in a knowledge transfer for practical topics in nature and forest conservation.
