In February 2020, the Ludwig-Erhard-Schule, David-Roentgen-Schule and Alice Salomon Schule held their first joint ski camp in Saalbach-Hinterglemm (Austria). 70 pupils and 9 supervisors practiced skiing and snowboarding for 5 days at different levels of ability. A lecture on safety and dangers as well as nature conservation measures in the high mountains, two trips on the night ski slope and a ski rally on the last day formed further training content. At the end of the week, the training schedule included technical examinations (e.g. advanced sports course) as well as assessments of the students’ stamina, motivation, teamwork and willingness to make an effort. A successful trip, in which the commitment of the teachers involved in terms of taking on responsibility and dedication formed an important basis.
