English camp at Schloss Gadow
Our language camp at Gadow Castle in Lanz is extra special: archery, canoeing, cooking over an open fire – that and much more awaits our participants at Gadow Castle. Counselors and kids will speak English with each other all day long at the camp – which includes a knightly experience in a real historic castle!
English learning made easy with the Berlitz method
Whether it’s doing projects on topics kids are passionate about, exciting debates or writing a camp diary, the Gadow Berlitz Camp is all about speaking freely and expanding vocabulary. And fun is the main feature!
Our Gadow language camp combines fun with learning English, all according to our tried-and-tested Berlitz method: learning by speaking. Our language training includes:
- 4 x 45-minute lessons five mornings a week,
- Learning in small groups to encourage active speaking.
Our experienced counselors motivate kids and teens to speak the camp language as much as possible – both in class and during the leisure program in the afternoons.
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 Gadow 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.
Sports, fun, and games in the afternoon
Our holiday camp program is varied and fun. What do kids do? It depends on the season and the weather. Here are a few examples of what active kids can experience at camp:
- Sports like canoeing, hiking, or archery in the castle,
- Building huts, dams or cairns in the forest,
- Cooking delicious food together,
- Going on exciting excursions in the surrounding area, or
- Getting creative, for example, drawing comics or manga strips, making friendship bracelets, and much more.
Cozy evenings with new friends
After an exciting day in the great outdoors or (if necessary) indoors, we make ourselves comfortable in the evening at Gadow language camp: depending on the weather and season, round the campfire or inside. But, of course, there’s still lots of exciting activities to enjoy, such as:
- Baking campfire bread and toasting marshmallows,
- A fun "Battle of the Bands" music competition,
- Reading stories in the foreign language, or
- Simply playing together.
Important: The offered activities are designed by the team depending on the weather, preferences of the group and possibility – therefore the program may vary.

Additional information
At our holiday camp in Gadow, the focus is on your kids. Our qualified counselors are there for the kids and teens all day long – from the morning lessons to the varied leisure program in the afternoons and evenings.
In accordance with the Berlitz method of "learning by speaking", our focus is on speaking the foreign language all day long. But don’t worry: at each of our camps, a German-speaking camp director is always on-hand for the kids and available by phone for all parents.
All the fun and action at our Berlitz language camp also includes good food. The first day starts with dinner. On all other camp days, kids can look forward to three meals - all prepared for us by our accommodation provider in Gadow. For lunch, kids either get to pick their own food from a buffet, a hot lunch, or a packed lunch to go.
We’ll try our hardest to cater to kids with allergies, intolerances, or special diets. If applicable, please contact us before booking.
Arrival day overview: We’ll be welcoming all parents and kids on the first day of camp. The exact time for arrival can be found in the travel information sent to all participants before the camp starts. The meet-and-greet allows our Berlitz team and the participants to get to know one another. Parents can ask the team any questions they may have. In our welcome package, kids and teens will receive a practical gym bag, lunch box, and notebook. After a short placement, the camp really gets going.
Departure information: After a joint farewell for both counselors and participants, parents will be able to pick up their kids. Parents can find the exact pick-up time in the travel documents sent out before camp starts. Please arrive on time, as our counselors will also be leaving that day. The certificate of participation and Camp Magazine & Co. will be sent to the kids afterwards.
