DUSSELDORF, GERMANY, August 12, 2011 (Press-News.org) The Olympic Adventure Camp (OAC) will offer young people the chance to experience new sports and exciting activities in Dusseldorf this summer.
Running at the Apollo-Platz from Saturday August 27th to Saturday September 3rd, the event provides youngsters with a dedicated space to enjoy climbing, trampolining, obstacle courses and much more.
The OAC, which has been taking place in the German city since 2004, is suitable for people between the ages of six and 21 years old.
It is held on the banks of the Rhine and features approximately 50 different activities in which visitors can participate. Each session is completely free of charge and there is no prior registration required.
