Outdoor sports have been an integral part of a Naturefriends' life from the very beginning. Today, nature sports are a flagship and trademark of Naturefriends. The basis is a comprehensive training programme, which in 2019 included a total of 32 nature sports training courses. The training guidelines correspond to the framework guidelines of the German Olympic Sports Federation (DOSB).

The training courses also impart the values on which our movement is based, such as team spirit, social responsibility and environmental awareness. They are tailored to different target groups, from children and young people to families and the 50 plus generation. Interdisciplinary events such as the winter camp, the summer camp or the national hiking days offer interested members an introduction to the world of nature sports.
