Best decision ever

I took part in the Outdoor Diploma program this past summer, and it was the most rewarding experiences I’ve had. It was a great opportunity to deepen and get new skills, take on more responsibility, and connect with people from all over the world. The first part of the program was focused on training. We learned everything from the basics of outdoor activities like every single game on earth to team-building and leadership skills. The training was well-organized, and we had a chance to really bond as a group. We definitely grew close and supported each other through the ups and downs. Of course, the program wasn’t always easy. Long workdays and sometimes it did feel like a bit overwhelming. But even when things were tough, there was always something rewarding to look forward to. Wheter it was seeing the kids push themselves in their activities or enjoying a campfire at the end of the day. Despite the busy schedule, there were plenty of moments where we could let loose, laugh, and enjoy the camp atmosphere. Whether it was competing in team challenges, playing games with the kids, or just chilling with the other teamers and diplos, the fun never stopped. There’s something about being outdoors all day that makes everything more exciting and memorable. As the peak season arrived, we found ourselves taking on more leadership roles, which was both exciting and challenging. The busy days were filled with teamwork, problem solving, and unforgettable moments, like watching the kids accomplish new things, from winning at gagaball to getting their first canoeing experience. There were definitely tough moments, but those were outweighed by the incredible experiences like seeing the kids joy, making lifelong friendships, and learning skills that I’ll use in the future. If you love being outdoors and enjoy connecting with others, the Outdoor Diploma program is an amazing opportunity. The growth and the memories you’ll make are more than worth!

Oh what a journey the Diplo program is! A beautiful, exhausting and enriching journey. The first one and a half months of training are so much fun. There's gonna be the build up and a lot of physical and dirty jobs, there's gonna be team building, lots of fun games and interesting trainings. You grow together as a group and learn all you need to know about camp, the different activities and roles. And you will already get the chance to test your skills and use what you learned with school trips and in the Easter Camp. In preseason you will also have some days off so you can make a little trip with the Diplo crew and explore the surroundings. Then main season hits and the real deal starts. The whole diplo crew is gonna be spread out to all the different locations. That's the most challenging and exhausting time but your gonna learn so much, meet so many cool people and amazing kids and get more and more confident in what you're doing. Camp is a great place to surpass yourself. It gives you the opportunity to take over responsibility quickly and step into a leading position. At times you will be annoyed, angry, overworked, tired and frustrated. But for every frustrating thing there are 10 beautiful things that outweigh the struggles and challenges. For me it's waking up, stepping outside, seeing nature and knowing that this is your working environment. It's seeing the kids giving everything on the dancefloor and vibing with them. It's seeing their joy and excitement when they made a fire for the first time. It's witnessing their courage to go on the stage and show their talent at the talent show. It's seeing them bond over the short span of a week and knowing you helped creating an unforgettable experience for them. This is what I did it for and why I would do it again. And of course there are also the incredible and inspiring friendships and connections you make with other diplos and teamers. Now after the program it feels like there is a whole world of new ideas and possibilities. It's a special, crazy and beautiful world.. get in there!

Best summer of my life

I did the Camping Adventure Diplo program in 2022 and I must say it was the best summer of my life. I was a regular teamer in 2021 and enjoyed my time so much that I committed to coming back to do diplo. I am very happy with my decision to do diplo and not just freelancing because I got to be part of a special group of 17 that became more or less my family that summer. We did all of our training together and lived in close proximity, which created quick bonds. On the negative side, there were quite a few times where our group was split up because staff was needed at different locations early on due to the business of camp. This was one of our biggest complaints as a group, however in the following years, I have seen how the company took this into suggestion and actively tried to keep the diplo groups together for longer. As the peak summer season came around, everybody was very busy, and many of our group were out in directors positions, which shows the trust management has in the diplo trainees. Along with that came an influx of all the summer teamers, which was a breath of fresh air as we got to meet even more new people. My favorite week each year is always the first teamer training, where the vibes are super high as we get to help train the new teamers. Overall, the diplo program keeps you incredibly busy, but it is also very rewarding. I have met friends from all over the world who I will stay in contact with for the rest of my life, as well as learned skills that I can use forever. I would always recommend the Camping Adventure Diplo Program to anybody.
