Summercamp on Rügen – an unforgettable week for our students!

In the first week of the 2025 summer holidays, we spent an exciting and adventurous week with 34 of our students from grades 6 to 9 at summer camp in Dranske, on the beautiful island of Rügen.

The mornings were all about watersports such as sailing, windsurfing, stand-up paddling, and kayaking at the Rügenpiraten watersports school. We also discovered and enjoyed the island’s unique nature, including a fantastic bike tour to the northern beach in Nonnevitz.

The afternoons were filled with fun and variety, too: volleyball, table tennis, swimming, and board games ensured that no one got bored – all as part of our “digital detox” days without phones, just like on our class trips!

In addition, the students showed their creativity and teamwork in several competitions:

• In the tidy-up challenge, the goal was to find out which team had the neatest room.

• At the talent show, students performed small acts full of imagination and fun.

• In the Beach Art Competition, the groups created fantastic works of art from natural materials right on the sand.

And true to our identity as a STEM-focused school, we of course took the chance to observe the wildlife of the Baltic Sea – with jellyfish being a particularly fascinating subject of study.

At the end of the week, everyone came together for an unforgettable farewell party on the island – featuring a high-energy Queen cover band, whose female lead singer as “Freddie Mercury” thrilled the crowd and got everyone dancing.

It was a week full of adventure, activity, creativity, and unforgettable moments – the perfect start to the summer holidays, with new friendships formed across grade levels and breathtaking sunsets to remember! 🌊☀️⚓️
