Bischofsgrün language camp – the perfect place to learn English
During lessons, our qualified counselors will focus on one thing above all: having fun with English through, for example, varied learning methods. In addition to language games, kids might conduct interviews, write or edit English song lyrics, or create articles for their own camp magazine.
Speaking instead of cramming: kids learn English best by using the language. That is our mission at the holiday camp in Bischofsgrün. In addition to a great leisure program in the afternoons, our participants can look forward to:
- Lessons in the mornings (5 days a week, 4 x 45 minutes each) and
- Learning in small groups according to the Berlitz method ("learning by speaking").
The Berlitz team will assign kids to learning groups according to their age and language level on the day of arrival. This ensures that all kids benefit from the best possible learning environment.

Additional information
Having qualified counselors is the be-all and end-all at our Bischofsgrün language camp. Our counselors come from different countries, including England, Mexico, France, the US, and Austria. They have plenty of experience in looking after kids.
In addition to the lessons in the mornings, they are responsible for organizing the recreational activities in the afternoons and evenings. What makes us stand out: our counselors speak to kids in the foreign language all day long and motivate them to use the foreign language as much as possible. That’s what makes learning fun!
Sports and exercise make you hungry, that’s for sure! That’s why we’ll be feasting on delicious and healthy meals at Sportcamp Nordbayern. We’ll get to enjoy Franconian cuisine and the fantastic view from the lodge restaurant – three times a day.
