The transfer will be completed once all the participants send all the documents, we expect it to be done in around 4 weeks.
Do I have to be able to speak perfect English?
No. You should be able to communicate sufficiently during your arrival and departure as well as during the program. English is not a native language for most participants.
Do I have to be able to speak German?
Yes, at least to some extent. German is the main language of communication at Eurocamp 2026, but participants’ language skills can vary. Some join to improve their German, while others may have little knowledge. Language at the camp is not only a tool for communication—it’s also a bridge for meeting others, exchanging perspectives, and discovering what unites young people across Europe.
Will we be camping at EUROCAMP?
No, we are staying at a youth hostel in Nebra. There are shared rooms and showers/toilets inside. Many parts of the program will also take place in the youth hostel.
Do I need any particular prior knowledge?
No, your interest in the topic and your open-mindedness towards the other participants and the program are more than sufficient.
How do I get to Nebra?
Nebra has a train station. If you arrive by plane, you can easily get there by train. We will support you in choosing the best way to get there.
How many participants will there be?
According to current planning, we have a total of 23 places.
Can we wash our clothes in between?
In the middle of the program, we will have a laundry day. There will be no individual washing, but we will collect the clothes of all participants on a voluntary basis.
Are there any other rules/requirements that I should observe before registering?
All participants must sign a Participation Agreement before joining Eurocamp 2026. This agreement outlines important guidelines, including compliance with the house rules of the youth hostel in Nebra, rest periods, and instructions from the team or other responsible persons during certain program activities. The Participation Agreement ensures a safe, respectful, and enjoyable experience for everyone, and it's obligatory for every participant.
