Kitafahrten
Kitafahrten (fahrten means "trip" or "wanderings" and Kita is short for Kindertagesstätte or "children's daycare center") is an annual multi-day camping trip for German kindergarten children, designed to increase responsibility for self and others by placing them in nature and away from their parents. A teacher supervises the children during the camping trip and contact with parents is only allowed in emergencies.
