Holiday camp for young people with learning disabilities | 25.07. – 30.07.2027

Day 1 – Arrival

On your arrival day we meet in the late afternoon in your accommodation, the JUFA in Schladming. There we will get to know each other, give you an overview of the coming week and of course answer all your questions. We will also show you the entire accommodation so that you can orientate yourself there.

Day 2 – Walk through the Silberkarklamm gorge & Kneipp facility

Today we’re setting off on a walk through the Silberkarklamm gorge. During the walk, the natural surroundings will give us plenty of opportunity to get to know one another. We’ll stop off at a cosy mountain hut for lunch to eat our packed lunches. Afterwards, we’ll treat ourselves to a short break at a Kneipp facility.

Day 3 – Rittisberg Adventure Playground & Pit Pat

This morning, we’re exploring the adventure playground on the Rittisberg, which we’ll reach by taking the Rittisberg cable car. After a bite to eat in a cosy mountain hut, we’ll spend the afternoon playing a few rounds of Pit Pat before rounding off the evening in a relaxed atmosphere at the JUFA.

Day 4 – Day trip to Mautern Wildlife Park with a birds of prey display

Today we’re going on a day trip to the Wilder Berg Mautern! There, we’ll not only come across various animals such as bears, foxes and wolves, but we’ll also be able to admire falcons and eagles at a birds of prey display. Before we head back home, we’ll let off some steam at the play park.

Day 5 Morning – High ropes course & summer tobogganing

On the fourth day, there are more absolute highlights on the programme. A visit to the high ropes course is an unforgettable experience for everyone and will remain etched in your memory. There’s an adventure to suit each and every one of you! On the Flying Fox, a long zip line, you can, for example, experience the breathtaking sensation of speed and that special ‘thrill’ in your stomach. Before we head off for lunch, we’ll let the wind blow through our hair on the summer toboggan run and enjoy some fun and action.

Day 5 Afternoon – Dachstein

In the afternoon, we’ll be standing at an altitude of just under 3,000 metres, suspended between heaven and earth, and experiencing the fascination of the mountains up close. Is this only for extreme mountaineers? Wrong! ANYONE can experience this on the Sky Walk on the Dachstein. There, we’ll feel the wind whistling past our ears and be able to feel the snow during a snowball fight – even in summer.

Day 5 Evening program

We’ll finish off our last evening in style. Tonight we will explore Schladming.

Day 6 – Kayaking course & barbecue with archery

The grand finale – a kayaking course! Once you’ve swapped your clothes for a wetsuit (weather permitting) and a paddle, you’ll get to try your hand at kayaking for the first time on Lake Aicher. Afterwards, of course, it’s time to top up your energy levels. And what could be better than a barbecue? This is the perfect opportunity to look back on the highlights of the adventure week and catch up with the other participants, who have now become friends. And if you fancy a bit more action, you can have a go at archery.

The journey home takes place individually in the afternoon.
