1000 young fire brigade talents in the large tent camp in Niederneisen!

In Niederneisen these days everything revolves around the fire brigade - more precisely, around the tent camp of the Limburg-Weilburg district youth fire brigade. From June 21st to 29th, 2025, around 1,000 members and carers from the district will find a temporary home in tents here. The event has enjoyed great popularity since its premiere in 2019, which makes the decision to repeat it seem only natural Rhine newspaper reported.

Next Saturday, the organizers can also look forward to a lively children's fire brigade day, where around 600 visitors are expected. On this day, the small town is temporarily populated by around 1,600 people, temporarily doubling the population. The participants come from the region's youth fire departments and can benefit from a variety of activities in the tent camp.

Versatile program and rules

The tent camp relies on a rich program that is not just for fun, but also provides valuable experiences and a closeness to nature. Experience and community come first here. The organizing supervisors, who are also trainers and mentors, take on great responsibility for the safety and well-being of the young people, such as Jugendfeuerwehr.de emphasized.

The camp regulations and the associated rules that guarantee smooth operations are particularly important. Every participant must always wear their camp ID visibly, and there is a strict ban on alcohol - with a small exception for the managed area, where the protection of minors is observed. Proper behavior during the camp is essential to ensure harmonious coexistence, as the >District Fire Brigade Association< describes.

Preparations for a successful stay

Each youth brings their own eating utensils and appropriate clothing for all weather conditions is required. Everything from sun protection to rain jackets should be included. Meal times are fixed and waste is disposed of in designated containers. Such preparations require thorough planning because, despite its leisure atmosphere, the camp is anything but a relaxation phase for the supervisors. Their duty of supervision is crucial to providing a safe environment for participants, explains the District Fire Brigade Association.

As part of leisure activities, young people are encouraged not only to experience nature, but also to develop social skills. The well-prepared camps often prove to be highlights in the youth fire brigade's annual program and offer a place for learning and meeting. Whether it's a campfire or a sport, team spirit is encouraged and new friendships are forged here.

So nothing stands in the way of an exciting and educational camp in Niederneisen - and we're really looking forward to the coming days! If everything goes well, this week will certainly be remembered fondly.
