Well, what a wonderful coincidence: 14 students spent 14 days of their fall break at the Waldhaus\u2014this combination made it a natural fit to have a different group prepare dinner each day. This not only ensured an interesting variety at the table but also provided a daily opportunity for community and connection. <\/p>\n

Supporting the community even in difficult times<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like everyone else, the educational team at Steinm\u00fchle\u2019s \u201cWaldhaus\u201d weekend and vacation retreat faced a major challenge during this year\u2019s fall break: offering the students an exciting program while keeping a close eye on the spread of COVID-19 and ensuring their safety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As a result, in addition to the group cooking nights and game nights, the program for these two weeks focused primarily on outdoor activities and creative workshops:<\/div>\n
\n

The students at Steinm\u00fchle Boarding School got plenty of exercise at the high ropes course, and the hike to the Frauenberg castle ruins in the Beltershausen area offered, as always, a magnificent view of the Marburg countryside. Even a brief drizzle couldn\u2019t dampen the spirits during the activities. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The indoor program was also well-received. Equipped with a projector, popcorn, and a large sound system, movie day was one of the highlights. Sometimes it\u2019s the oldies that are the best: Harry Potter took the top spot in the movie rankings. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Discovering the Art of Woodcarving<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some of the program activities brought out the group\u2019s creative side. Batik-dyeing gym bags revealed a few artistic talents. The Waldhaus staff also provided carving tools and wood and offered initial guidance on how to bring their own ideas to life in wood. These have since evolved into independent projects. Boarding student Shawn took on the challenge of carving a Terminator bust. We can\u2019t wait to see the result… <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But of course, vacation fun isn\u2019t complete without some big activities. Since laser tag is a favorite pastime for many young people, the Waldhaus educational team rented a laser tag setup. To offer a change of pace from the usual activities back home, the students were able to let off steam in a variety of ways here, under supervision and with safety precautions in place. <\/p>\n

In addition, our classmate Cindy had her big day during the fall break: she turned 18\u2014and of course, that had to be celebrated in style that evening. The break ended on Saturday<\/span> with a raclette dinner together, to mark our time together with another delicious meal. \"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The end of vacation is approaching: All boarding school students will gather on Sunday<\/strong><\/p>\n

School will resume on Monday for all students at Steinm\u00fchle. Boarding school parents and students were well prepared for their return trip by boarding school director Anke Muszynski. The teachers at Steinm\u00fchle will continue the measures that Waldhaus has already implemented during the break: as much safety as necessary to maintain as much normalcy and joy as possible during these times! <\/p>\n
