Invitation to  the
17th International DAV Summercamp
Sportschule Schöneck in Karlsruhe

Monday, 7th of August to Sunday, 13th of August 2023

Since 1989 the DAV hosts his summercamp every two years. During the last 10 years we had always around 180 to 190 participants from many nations (2007: 12 nations, 2017: 11 nations). It is a main event for Modern Arnis practitioners all over the world.

This year it is again situated in Karlsruhe, the door to the famous black forest, about a good hour drive away from the international airports of Frankfurt and Stuttgart, also connected with direct trains from there. So it is very easy to get there.

Come to the DAV summercamp 2023 and be a part of the ever growing Modern Arnis family in Europe and worldwide. You will have the time of your life and meet many new friends. If you need assistance or an invitation to get a visa, please contact: sven.barchfeld@modern-arnis.de

Registration

As accommodation, besides the normal rooms (most of them for 2 people with private bath) there are 24 beds in the so called „youth house“ available. These are 6 and 4 bed rooms with common washing and showering facilities, that we can offer at a cheaper rate.

The booking of those rooms must be specially declared on the registration form.

We distribute them according to the principle “first come first serve”.

If the “youth house” is full, we book the beds automatically to the normal rooms with the normal price. If you do not wish that, please tell us on the registration form.The food is the same with the different accommodations.

There will be four to eight hours training per day. Each trainer will give lessons on his favourite topics as well as in the DAV program. The lessons will be held in up to seven  groups in parallel, which allows small training groups.

There will be the chance to test all students and black belt levels according to the DAV program (on Tuesday; for students levels there will be a second examination on Saturday).

Additional to the training we will offer leisure activities like socializing in the evening, video and theory sessions and so on. On the camp site there is beside the normal facilities also a swimming pool that we can use for free.

Monday morning is reserved for the travelling to the camp. The summercamp starts on Monday after lunch. It finishes on Sunday after the breakfast. If you arrive on Sunday already we will try, to make it possible for you, that you can stay from Sunday to Monday on the campsite already (for an additional fee, though. Only possible, if the school has enough capacity left).

It is not possible to forecast the development of the corona situation for many months. Therefore we will plan the procedures for the summercamp similar like we did it the last years. In case there will be still restrictions in August 2023 we will include them in our planning and we will inform you accordingly. This will be possible only on short notice and spontaneously. We will always follow the active regulations and laws.
