Enjoying untroubled holidays, leaving your home behind during the day and returning to familiar surroundings at night—that's what our summer holiday programme at the children's holiday club “Kinderwelt Marienhütte” has to offer. Great for parents, even greater for kids: Transport to and from the premises in special buses is included. We know how challenging those weeks of summer holidays can be for parents: Keeping your kids engaged and active without school or day care to provide a break is not so easy… Marienhütte to the rescue! Surrounded by nature, your kids will be in the best of hands all day, enjoying the experience to be away from everyday life.

Our concept — a kids' world at “Kinderwelt Marienhütte”

“Away during the day, 'daheim' (home) for the night” is our holiday slogan. And “away” with Marienhütte, located above Heidelberg Castle, means both green and healthy surroundings and not too far to go. Once the bus has arrived, there's a whole day of fun holiday activities ahead for kids aged 6 to 11 years. Parents can sign up their children for one, two, or three weeks—and off they all will go! Into their own holiday world outside town during the day, to come back in the evening with loads to tell.

Our summer holiday programme — a rainbow of activities

Going outdoors, engaging in action games, exploring their creativity, trying their hands at new skills in a variety of workshops, and more: Supervised by qualified teams, children at our summer holiday club at “Kinderwelt Marienhütte” really get things moving and make a difference to life. And since fresh air makes you hungry, breakfast, a freshly cooked meal at lunchtime and an afternoon snack are provided.
