Meet us in the kiosk
During your visit to Ungdomsøen, you can always get in touch with Ungdomsøen's staff and young volunteers through the kiosk. They are easy to spot, as they are wearing a blue Ungdomsøen-keyhanger.
In case of any emergency involving injured people, you must call 112, just as you would do on the mainland. Inform the operators that you are located at 'Middelgrundsfortet 1'.

Take care of our island
Youth Island is not just a playground, it's a place that we share. It's a developmental platform for the future and it is also a historical monument that we must take good care of. Please consider this when visiting the island and refrain from scratching, drawing, tagging or making engravements on walls, concrete, stones, or any other surfaces. And always remember to dispose of your waste in the trash cans.
Do not walk on the slopes
The slopes are designed to make enemies fall down upon attacks. Always stay on the right side of the fence to avoid the risk of falling and getting hurt.
Never walk alone or run on the piers
Always bring a friend if you want to walk on the piers, and always walk carefully – never run. This way, you can enjoy exploring without any major risk.
Clean up after yourself
We appreciate you visiting and we can feel the good vibes you leave behind. Therefore, there's no need for you to leave your trash or tags to be remembered. We always clean up after ourselves on the island, and waste should be placed in trash bins, not buried or burned. If you skip cleaning or take shortcuts, it forces Ungdomsøen to spend money on more cleaning. Money that we would much rather spend on organizing cool activities for you.
Inform the staff if you stay overnight at Ungdomsøen
If you plan to sleep on the island, always report it to our staff in the kiosk, so we know who's staying on the island. The kiosk staff can also inform you about vacancy in our dorms and shelters, and show you where you can set up tents and bivouacs.
Your belongings are your responsibility
Take care of your tent and personal belongings. Youth Island is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged items.
Only light fires in designated areas
In the kiosk you can find information about where to find fireplaces, you can also rent a portable fire pit and purchase firewood.
No fire indoors
You are not allowed to light open fire, use bat lamps, torches, or similar light sources indoors.
Ungdomsøen machinery, equipment, and tools are not toys
Ungdomsøen is always bustling with activity. If you come across a golf cart, tools, or a boat on your way, leave them be. They are being used by our enthusiastic staff or volunteers that are helping guests or building their dream projects on the island. It is not allowed for guests to be using Ungdomsøen machinery.
Not everyone wants to be on your social media
Be considerate of whom you capture in pictures, videos, and other recordings. Always ask for permission before sharing.
You are allowed to swim at Ungdomsøen
At Ungdomsøen you can swim and do water activities in our closed harbour. Mind that Ungdomsøen do not have a life guard on duty. All activities in the water are your own responsibility and must be supervised by an adult.
Before diving into the blue waves, read our rules for swimming and water activities. You can find the rules on the beach and at the kiosk.
Say "hello" to strangers
Ungdomsøen is truly open. We wish to facilitate encounters between different people, and we expect our guests to be genuinely open to meeting each other when visiting the island. In practice, it means you are not alone on the island. There will be many different groups with their own purposes, and it's natural to greet and be curious about the other guests on the island.
You must follow the law ... of course
In general, you must, of course, comply with Danish law and follow instructions from Ungdomsøen's staff and volunteers. You may be asked to leave if you break the Danish law or oppose Ungdomsøen's personnel.
