Waterfalls and night hike: Learn English at Spitzingsee
Attention outdoor fans: At the language camp Spitzingsee we learn English in front of a beautiful panorama of forest, meadows and mountains. Together, we master sports challenges, discover the great surroundings and get to know each other better in team games. The fun factor is also great in the evenings: we go on a night hike or organize a fun evening program right at the accommodation.
Learning English with the Berlitz method
At our Schliersee language camp, everything revolves around the foreign language. We'll be speaking as much English as possible - both during lessons and the leisure program. Kids can expect the following:
- "Learning by speaking" in small groups with a qualified counselor,
- 4 x 45-minute classes five camp days a week.
The core focus of our Berlitz method is to use the foreign language as much as possible. We do this primarily through play: for example, by having the kids create a camp diary, play language games, or work on projects.
At our Schliersee language camp, we aim to give kids the confidence and self-assurance they need to speak English in a group setting. Therefore, we make sure that the learning groups are assigned according to age and ability level. Friendships often develop this way, and many kids can't wait to see their new friends again at another camp the following year.
Nature, adventure, and language: a vacation program for active kids
Enjoying unforgettable experiences, trying exciting activities, and learning a foreign language along the way: at our Schliersee holiday camp, kids get to use newly learned words and phrases in a fun way right from the start.
Discovery tours, hut-building in the forest, and fun quiz evenings: for the most part, kids will speak to each other in the foreign language. German is only used for important safety instructions or in case of emergency.
The programme of our holiday camp is varied and fun. What do the children do? It depends on the season and the weather. Here are a few examples of what active kids can experience at the camp:
- Raft building, kayaking and SUP: Lake Schliersee is best discovered on the water - with a sporty kayak or comfortable stand-up paddles. Who is best on the SUP? And how about a race to the other shore? Building a raft together is also a real hands-on experience.
- Torchlight hikes, campfires and stick bread: Spending time outdoors and being in harmony with nature - this is also possible with relaxed activities such as a torchlight hike or a campfire. Baking bread on a stick over the embers promises fun and tasty treats in a cosy atmosphere.
- Treasure hunt and geocaching: In addition to the torchlight hike and stick bread around the campfire, we'll be going on a treasure hunt at the Family Camp at Whitsun. Who will get there first? With geocaching, we also use GPS coordinates and turn the search into a modern adventure for young and old.
Exciting evenings with new friends
In the evening, it's time for a night-time hike - an unusual adventure: Did a twig crack? Was that the wind rustling in the leaves or an animal? And if the weather is fine, the stars shine through the treetops.
We also bake stick bread over the campfire. If the weather is bad, it's cosy inside.
The activities listed here are examples and may vary depending on the date, availability and group.

Varied and exciting: Sportcamp am Spitzingsee
Fresh mountain air, lots of exercise and gaining new experiences every day: our accommodation on the Spitzingsee offers exciting leisure opportunities. How about archery, climbing, slacklining or table tennis, for example? When stacking boxes or building rafts, the team spirit of the group grows. If you want to relax after so much fun and excitement, you can make yourself comfortable on the terrace and enjoy the view of the surrounding mountains.
In the middle of nature: the Spitzingsee
Here we immediately get in the holiday mood: Our accommodation is surrounded by idyllic nature and is just a few minutes' walk from the shore of Lake Spitzingsee. Our location in the Bavarian foothills, an hour's drive southeast of Munich, is the perfect starting point for hiking and mountain biking. The Spitzingsee has a big brother, the Schliersee, which is a little further north. The good connection to public transport is particularly practical.
