Course leader: Richard Slager and the Lothlorien summer team

Price: €95

This week, children will set off on an adventure with Richard Slager (1985). Richard has been visiting Lothlorien since 2002 and has led many children’s weeks here over the years. He knows the special places in and around Centre Lothlorien and brings children into a vivid story world set in this adventurous landscape. Richard is also a father of two children. During this week, we are immersed in the theme of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

About Hobbits, Elves, Dwarfs, Humans and Wizards

While the hobbits live their peaceful lives, dark forces begin to spread across the wider world. A council is called together, bringing Elves, Dwarves, Men, and Wizards into discussion about how the powers of good can still prevail. The situation seems uncertain, yet hope remains. It turns out that the enemy’s One Ring has been found. If it can be destroyed in the land where it was forged, the enemy may still be defeated. But the journey is full of danger. Which brave heroes will dare to begin this quest?

Practical information

The children’s program runs every morning from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., alongside the adult program. Children meet at Edoras and head out on adventures in the woods around Lothlorien, make crafts in the workshop, play games, and listen to stories. Around 11:00 a.m., there is a drink and a snack, usually fruit or a cookie.

The group size is a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 15 children. The minimum age is 5 years old.

Please let us know whether your child can swim and whether there are any special needs, such as dietary requirements.

We assume that you will bring and collect your child after the program.

See you in the summer!
