Learning English and action at the Leipzig language camp
Having fun outdoors and swimming while learning English in a playful way – that's what kids and teens can look forward to at our Berlitz language camp at the Grillensee near Leipzig. Our international Berlitz team immerses participants in the English language and guarantees an unforgettable experience full of games, sports, and action.
Improving English skills at Leipzig language camp with Berlitz
Learning English during the school break? That's not a problem with our Berlitz English camps! Unlike school lessons, the aim here is not to teach as much material and grammar as possible. We use the Berlitz method of "learning by speaking", i.e. as much active speaking as possible.
We offer kids:
- Lessons five mornings a week (4 x 45 minutes each)
- Kids are encouraged to actively use English in small groups
Our holiday camp in Leipzig combines English lessons in the mornings with a varied leisure program in the afternoons. During lessons, the focus is on creativity: for example, kids will write content for our camp magazine, draw and describe their own pictures, or act out fairy tales in English. That way, we teach kids to enjoy the foreign language through play.
On the day of arrival, we'll assign kids to learning groups according to their age and previous knowledge.
Adventure, nature and fun at the Grillensee near Leipzig
One thing is certain at our Berlitz language camp in Leipzig: there's no room for boredom here! Our international Berlitz team always plans the camp week's leisure program on site, depending on the weather, group, and respective talents of the counselors.
Very important: even during the leisure program, kids and counselors will continue to speak English to each other. And just like that, kids will lose their fear of speaking and absorb everyday vocabulary – all in a fun, playful way.
The beautiful surroundings of the Grillensee are perfect for an incredible camp week in the great outdoors. Kids will get to discover the picturesque landscape during some exciting geocaching or group forays through the adjacent forest. And when the weather is nice, the Grillensee is simply perfect for swimming and chilling.
Any sports fans among our participants will also come away satisfied. We organize various tournaments and competitions; for example, soccer, volleyball, and other ball sports. Badminton and Frisbee games are also popular on the extensive property. Another highlight is always our team challenges, such as the game "Capture the Flag."
After an eventful day, we take it easy in the evenings. Counselors and kids might, for instance, grill some campfire bread, organize team games or just chill in a relaxed atmosphere.
Important note: The offered activities are depending on the weather, date, and availability – therefore the program may vary.

Additional information
"Let's speak English" – that's the motto we follow at the Leipzig Berlitz Camp. Our experienced counselors are at the kids' side all day long. Both during lessons that take place in small groups in the mornings and during the fun and action in the afternoons and evenings. Our focus: to ensure all kids speak English all day long.
The best proof of the success of our Berlitz concept: many counselors were camp participants themselves in the past and support us year after year!
Providing the best all-round support at our Berlitz language camps is important to us. That also includes a balanced diet. Kids will receive three meals a day and these include drinks like juice, tea, or water. Please pack a reusable water bottle, so that your child can fill it up in between meals.
We try our best to offer alternatives for kids with special requests, such as vegetarians or those with allergies. Please contact our team before booking so that we can discuss this on a one-on-one basis.
How we start: Camp starts on the first day at the time mentioned in the travel information (sent to all participants before camp start). Together with their parents, kids will be able to get to know our team and other participants and take part in a parents' welcome session. All kids will receive our welcome package, which consists of a gym bag, lunch box, T-shirt, and much more. We use a written and oral placement to place kids in the right learning group. With younger kids, we often just talk briefly about their hobbies and everyday life.
Important departure information: Parents can pick up their kids on the day of departure. You will find out exactly when in the camp travel documents. Unfortunately, it is not possible to pick kids up at a later time, as our team will also be leaving. We will send all camp documents, including a certificate of participation, to the participants afterwards.
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.
