Ascend repeatedly
The Olympic Adventure Camp (OAC) returned to Düsseldorf from August 16 to 23, 2025, providing a fun-filled and inclusive sports and outdoor event for children, youth, and young adults aged 6 to 21. Located at Apolloplatz and Landtagswiesen near Landtagswiesen, the OAC was open daily from 13:00 to 19:00.
The OAC offered a diverse mix of Olympic sports, climbing opportunities, trend sports, and games. Popular activities included the Bungee-Trampolin Duo-Tramp, pole jump, pirate net, giant ladder, team ball sports, and the Endless-Climber, a mobile climbing wall. The giant ladder offered a secure eight-meter-high view of the OAC area.
The OAC was not just a sports event, but a platform for fostering Olympic values and active lifestyles among young people. It reflected a strong focus on inclusivity and community involvement, with young people with disabilities being actively encouraged to participate. On Tuesday, August 19, the focus day "Inclusion in Sports" at the OAC gave priority to young people with disabilities at the stations.
The OAC was organized by the city, the city sports association, clubs, and providers of free youth welfare. The event was a major attraction for families, with the Mayor of Düsseldorf, Burkhard Hintzsche, stating that it was a significant draw for families. The OAC has been a regular event on the city's calendar and attracts families from beyond Düsseldorf.
The return of the Pumptrack, which can be used with anything that rolls, added to the excitement at the OAC. First launched in Düsseldorf in 2004, in conjunction with the Olympic Games in Athens, the OAC continues to offer a wide variety of activities, including climbing opportunities and trend sports.
In conclusion, the Olympic Adventure Camp in Düsseldorf is a vibrant and inclusive movement camp that promotes Olympic spirit and active lifestyles among young people. It serves as a platform for fostering Olympic values and community involvement, making it an essential part of the city's preparations for upcoming international sporting events such as the 2026 Flag Football World Championships.
