Some details about our 2023  BZ Camp. Water is part of The Netherlands’ identity and can be regarded as our second nature. So ‘water’ is the central theme for the activities in and around our youth camp in 2023. The location of the camp is a fort with the name Fort aan de Klop, an old fortress and part of the so-called Hollandse Waterlinie. The fort is situated on a small island in the city of Utrecht, which is the capital of the most central province of The Netherlands. Utrecht is characterized by its canals that traverse a beautiful city center. 

Feel welcome to see and enjoy the central part of The Netherlands
