Summertime activities, games, and camaraderie shine at the extensive summer camp in Dietzenbach, bringing together 310 youthful campers.
The Dietzenbacher Waldstadion in Germany is currently hosting a two-week summer sports camp, organised jointly by SG Dietzenbach and FC Dietzenbach, attracting around 310 children[1][5]. The camp offers an array of activities, primarily focusing on football, gymnastics, and tennis[3][5].
The emphasis of the camp is on fun, team spirit, and physical activity without performance pressure[3]. It caters to a broad range of youth ages, with the exact age groups not explicitly detailed in the search results. The program is designed to be inclusive and promote team-building, making it suitable for children of all ages interested in sports[3].
The camp benefits from strong local volunteer support and community engagement, underlining its grassroots organisation[5]. The organisers express gratitude to the annual sponsors, including the city of Dietzenbach, Knecht Baustoffe, and EDIE-Strom - the electricity product of Stadtwerke Dietzenbach[5].
In the first week, 140 children participated, with numbers increasing to 170 in the second week. The training groups are formed according to the participants' experience levels, ensuring an age-appropriate and experience-oriented program[1].
On the adjacent open-air cinema grounds, over 50 children are engaged in the gymnastics program. The tennis area is led by Thomas Peterson, who has been responsible for the tennis activities for some time[2]. Five groups of five children are supervised daily on the tennis courts.
A special event, the "Beat the Tennis Star" competition, is planned for Thursday. Meanwhile, the football pitches see approximately 65 children train daily in small groups. Notably, Vanik Saroyan Grigoryan and Noel-Patrice Bergholz-Pfab are leading a football group for the fourth time[4].
Mayor Dr. Dieter Lang has praised the team at the camp for their pedagogical finesse, sporting experience, and engagement[2]. Bettina Benz from the organising team expresses gratitude to the annual sponsors for their support.
