In the summer of 2025, we built our campsite on top of a hill near Lake Constance (Bodensee) in Southern Germany. The field was wide and green, open to the wind, and surrounded by hilly farm lands stretching towards the horizon.
During the two weeks, we hiked the surroundings of the lake in small groups, met very sweet locals, danced into the sunset, shared meals under the open sky, exchanged stories around the crackling campfire while the guitars echoed across the hills, sang under the chestnut trees, made many new friends, and shared lots of other beautiful moments.

On top of a green hill, the big white tent already made its appearance for a distance. The field became our home, the sky our view, and the … We spend our time building the campsite, playing games, having deep conversations around the campfire, singing songs, dancing, folding origami cranes during a theme evening, hiking to the lake, daily workshops, enjoying the open stage in-between the nut trees, and enjoying the rain and the sun.
Part of the camp song
So bye bye to normal life
I’ll take my porridge in the morning and the bread can be dry
For them good ol’ fires drinking coco and chai
Singing way late into the night
Way late into the night
