The English Youth Camps will be run on the “Lake Koeris Campus” of Word of Life Germany about 30 miles south-east of the German capital, Berlin. The English Kids Camps will take place partly on our own property and partly on a rented camp ground owned by a secular organization just a couple miles from the WOL location. Both locations are scenic lakefront properties.

The airport you would need to fly in and out of is called Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER).

PREP WEEK 1: July 07 -11, 2025 - only available to and mandatory for those who need 8 weeks of ministry credit.

PREP WEEK 2: July14 – 18, 2025- if you can serve in at least three camps starting with Youth Camp 1, we would like you to consider taking part in PREP WEEK 2 also, if you can afford it timewise. If not, we would prefer you serving three camps rather than PREP WEEK 2 plus two camps.

WRAP-UP WEEK: September 01 - 05, 2025

You can choose between the categories of Kids or Youth Camp and request to be involved as many camps as you choose. A combination of Kids and Youth Camps, as well as Recharge is conceivable.

IMPORTANT: For organizational reasons, the designated arrival day is ALWAYS a Saturday (at the beginning of the camp season it can also be on Friday) and the designated departure day is ALWAYS a Saturday (at the end of the camp season it can also be on Sunday or Monday). The Saturday of your arrival is reserved for overcoming your jetlag, while Sunday morning is reserved for a Campus Worship Service and Staff Orientation. The campers will arrive on Sunday afternoons. DO NOT BOOK ANY FLIGHT UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED BY US AND WE EXPLICITLY HAVE CONFIRMED YOUR ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE DATES!

You can get involved by doing the following:

1. Read this ministry job description and understand what it basically entails.
2. Understand and count the part of the cost of this outreach that you would be responsible for:

3. Download and carefully read the following documents BEFORE you fill out the online application form: WOL Statement of Faith, WOL Germany Child Protection Policy
4. Complete the online application form as soon as possible.
5. Download the reference form (editable PDF-format) and email one of them to a friend and another to a church leader who knows you well. Ask them to complete it and email the digital form to the email address given at the bottom of the form.
6. As soon as we have received all application documents and have processed your application, we will contact you by email either with queries on our part, a negative reply with explanation, or a statement of acceptance, stating the exact arrival and departure dates of your ministry invitation (or a time window, if you are willing to stay 3 weeks or longer). After that you can go ahead and book your flight (or any other transportation for that matter) and email us your itinerary.
7. Eventually, once you are accepted, you will have to apply for a passport, if you don’t have a valid one. Americans and Brazilians will not need a special visa if you enter Germany/Europe as a tourist for less than 90 days. If you are WOLBI Hungary student make sure that your visa is still good for the time you plan to serve in Germany.

We gladly fill out the necessary paperwork (Ministry Contract & Evaluation Form). The maxiumum length of a summer internship for credit is 9 weeks and the dates are set by PREP WEEK A until one Wrap-up week after camps.
