Music and dance at the Berlitz Spanish camp on Lake Edersee
Viva la música – that’s the motto at our Spanish camp in Asel am Edersee. With rousing salsa rhythms and Spanish canciones, kids can learn Spanish in a playful and creative way. The wonderful location on Lake Edersee and colorful leisure program ensure kids will have plenty of fun.
Learning by speaking: learning languages according to the Berlitz method
At the Asel holiday camp, we also incorporate learning into our daily routine. Our experienced language teachers are also the counselors who will lead the leisure program. They’ll speak with the kids and teens in the foreign language all day long. The advantage: kids will hear lots of everyday vocabulary and authentic pronunciation throughout the camp week.
Our mission at the Asel language camp: to have a great vacation! And to show the kids how much fun learning foreign languages is. That means our Berlitz camps are all based on the following premise:
- Foreign language classes five mornings a week (4 x 45 minutes daily)
- Kids are encouraged to speak actively in small groups
Learning at camp is fun: there are no exams or boring studying; instead, we do roleplaying and language games. On the day of arrival, kids do a short placement test that helps us assign them to groups according to their age and language level. They’ll learn together and quickly make new friends in their group. That is usually the best motivation.
Learning can be fun: fun and action at the Edersee holiday camp
At Asel language camp, our motto is "learning by doing". After the morning language classes, we continue speaking in the foreign language. Together, we get to do a whole bunch of great activities: scavenger hunts, excursions, and exciting team challenges. Our program is versatile and fun. We only use German for safety instructions or in emergency situations.
Afternoons are filled with lots of action, no matter the weather
Whether it’s sunny, windy or rainy: there’s always something going on at the Asel holiday camp in the afternoons: those who like sports can let off steam by playing volleyball or soccer. Big and small artists learn new songs or dance. Here’s an example of activities, depending on the mood and season:
- Singing and dancing together
- Playing sports, for example ball games, or swimming
- Shooting videos and watching them together.
Evenings together round the campfire or indoors
After a day packed full of fun and action, we make ourselves comfortable. Firstly, we eat dinner together, then we warm up round the campfire, have a quiz night, or a camp party – depending on the mood and the weather. Evening activities may include:
- Toasting marshmallows and baking campfire bread over the campfire,
- Hosting music competitions and game nights,
- Spending free time with friends new and old.
Note: Actual activities offered may vary depending on weather and availability.

Welcome to Lake Eder: this is where we’ll be staying
Jugendherberge Hohe Fahrt am Edersee, Hohe Fahrt 1, 34516 Vöhl-Asel
Beach, sports, and fun: our accommodation
Hohe Fahrt youth hostel is located in the village of Asel, right on Lake Edersee. Kids will sleep in shared rooms in the main building or in one of the small bungalow huts; girls and boys will be housed separately. The absolute highlight: our language camp on Lake Edersee has its own beach area where kids can relax and swim safely right by the shore. A soccer field, basketball court, table tennis tables, and a play area make the Edersee site the perfect location for our camp.
Discover Lake Edersee and the surrounding area at our Spanish language camp
Lake Edersee is Germany’s second largest reservoir. There you can go canoeing and stand-up paddling on the lake. Or we can just chill on the shore and enjoy the great atmosphere. When the water level is low, that’s when things get spectacular: then it’s possible to walk across the bottom of the lake and discover sunken villages that were flooded when the reservoir was built. The picturesque forests surrounding Lake Edersee are also perfect for kids to play, hide, and explore – but no matter what we’re doing, we’ll always be speaking Spanish.

Additional information
Boredom doesn’t stand a chance at our Asel holiday camp. Our qualified counselors are always at the kids’ side – from Spanish lessons in the mornings to organizing the varied leisure and evening program.
All employees are trained in the Berlitz method: this means that they place special focus on practical use of the foreign language. As Spanish is the official camp language, our experienced counselors will speak to the kids in the foreign language the entire time. The only exceptions are for emergencies or special, safety-related information or programs. And they’ll also provide exciting insight into the cultures of different Spanish-speaking countries.
Learning builds up an appetite. For us, that means it’s particularly important that all participants at the Asel Berlitz language camp are well fed. Kids will receive three meals a day. Depending on what we have planned for the day, lunch will either be a hot meal or packed lunch. Important: remember to pack a reusable water bottle so that your child can fill it up between meals.
Good food is important to us. If your child has any allergies or intolerances, please speak to our team before booking.
Welcome: Parents will get the exact time to bring their kids to the camp on the day of arrival with the travel information send before the camp starts. After getting to know one another, there will be a parents’ meet-and-greet in addition to a Q&A session. Kids will receive a welcome package that includes a T-shirt, gym bag, and much more. We’ll also carry out a short placement. Using this, we’ll assign kids to their learning groups.
Time to say goodbye: On the last day, parents will be able to pick up their kids. Parents can find the exact pick-up time in the travel information they’ll receive well in advance. Additional documents, including the camp-made camp magazine and certificate of participation, will be sent to kids and teens after the end of the camp.
Then take a look at our kids camp FAQ page where we have gathered further information.
We will also send you further details regarding the pack list, arrival and departure etc. by e-mail after your booking.
