Science Camp Our Earth - Discover the planet you live on!


Are you between 10 and 13 years old and keen on exciting experiments, thrilling discoveries and lots of fun? Then our "Our Earth" science camp is the right place for you!

During this week, you will become a junior geologist and get to the bottom of some big questions that have long occupied researchers:

  • How did our earth actually form?
  • What do rocks tell us about the past?
  • Why is water the key to life?
  • What happens in the atmosphere above our heads?

Together we explore the fascinating secrets of our planet. Whether it's a rock quiz, a self-built volcano, a soil check under the microscope or a water filter experiment - you'll be amazed at what's inside our earth!
