Saxony has much to offer to children and youths: the breathtaking rock formations in Saxon Switzerland, dense forests and MTB trails in the Ore Mountains and the Vogtland, cycle routes, swimming lakes and water sports possibilities in the region around Leipzig, Upper Lusatia and Dresden Elbland. Additionally, the three cities of Dresden, Leipzig and Chemnitz are simply teeming with life.
The region's range of sights and attractions provide ample material for a wide range of educational and recreational programmes for young people. A large variety of high-standard group accommodations provides room and board at fair prices with healthy, varied food and great leisure equipment.

In between Saxony’s cultural, natural and historic variety, you will find our 24 association-managed youth hostels. Some small and cosy, e.g. in a former mill in Grumbach, some modern and conveniently located as in Görlitz or Chemnitz, or with international connections, e.g. at Colditz Castle near Leipzig, in Sayda, and Dresden. Youth hostels are places of community. They offer (free) space for creative development and sporting challenges, and provide opportunities for social gatherings, exploration, and adventures. With integrated programmes for experiential education, we create a lasting experience for our guests – from students and teachers to groups and families.
Like school, but totally different: As extracurricular places of learning the so-called KiEZ facilities organise curriculum-oriented programmes, with experiences in nature and as part of a community. They encourage working in a team and an active lifestyle with sports, exercise, and healthy food. Naturally, fun and recreation are also part of the programme, with excursions, disco, and campfire. Professional supervision is provided by the department »Bildung und Programm« (Education and Programme) of the state association Landesverbandes KiEZ Sachsen e.V. At the KiEZ, (almost) everything is united in one location, including modern group accommodations with large recreational, game, and sports facilities, and varied (seminar) room offers.
The so-called “Schullandheime” (school camps) look back on more than 80 years of tradition, and one of their places of origin is Saxony. Today, the focus mainly lies on 5-day stays at the school camps. They offer interdisciplinary and curriculum-oriented projects, which are executed by pedagogical or social education staff. In the field of youth welfare, school camps provide offers for children and youth recreation as well as international youth work. The 15 member school camps can accommoate between 30 and 90 children each – for holiday camps, retreats, training or choir camps. Aside from school classes, youth groups and clubs, families are welcome as well!
The Christian recreation and conference centres are not only open to Christian groups. They welcome everybody who values respect and appreciative interaction with others. In 20 self-catering houses and 37 houses with board and lodging, children, youths, families, and adults will find welcoming accommodations. During retreats, seminars, choir training camps, conferences or class trips, the groups are mostly alone in the house and can absolve their programme without disturbance. The wheelchair-accessible homes are perfectly suited for inclusive projects or camps for participants with disabilities. You can design your programme flexibly and schedule your day individually.
