TOMODACHI CAMP
Where friendship meets passion
21 - 24 August, 2025 

Based on your wish, we again extend the camp to four days with the option of one extra night on Wednesday. 

The minimum age for participation is 16.

Address: Allmendstr. 87, 6971 Hard, Austria

The camp takes place in a wonderful holiday area surrounded by mountains directly at the Lake of Constance. 

The hostel offers the perfect infrastructure: newly renovated, modern and bright rooms accommodating 2-6 persons (shower and toilet in almost all rooms). Restaurant and bar are directly attached.

We also plan to create time frames to encourage open discussions about karate relevant topics. It is our goal to bring people together and to enhance communication between dojos and countries.
