Water sports action at the Möhnesee language camp
Learning English in a picturesque setting and having tons of fun while at it – all that’s possible at our Berlitz language camp right on the Möhnesee. Following language classes in small groups in the morning, our camp counselors will also speak English with kids throughout the various water sports activities in the afternoon. The perfect combination of fun and language learning!
Improving English skills at Möhnesee language camp with Berlitz
Our holiday camp in Möhnesee 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.
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.
On the day of arrival, we’ll assign kids to learning groups according to their age and previous knowledge.
No time for boredom: our leisure program
"Let’s speak English" – that’s the motto at our language camp on the Möhnesee. We attach great importance to kids speaking the foreign language as much as possible, both during classes in the morning and the recreational activities in the afternoon. Our team organizes the varied water sports program as well as exciting workshops depending on the weather and overall mood.
Action in and on the water:
- On one afternoon, kids can go canoeing or pedal boating or build their own raft on another – and, after that, jump into the water to cool off.
Kids can also swim and relax at the youth hostel’s private bathing jetty or let off steam by the water.
There’s more than just water sports at the Möhnesee: From soccer and basketball to volleyball and table tennis – pretty much everything is possible on the youth hostel grounds. Our various workshops and competitions, such as capture the flag, a photo challenge or designing T-shirts, are also lots of fun. Even when the weather is bad, there’s still plenty of excitement thanks to cool team challenges, archery and other activities.
The exciting day ends for participants of our Day Camps with afternoon activities at 5.30 p.m. But don’t worry: The next day directly starts at 8.45 a.m. with language training and varied activities.
In the evenings, we end the camp day with a dinner together with all the kids and counselors or with a barbecue and some campfire bread. Afterwards we might meet up for a movie or quiz night – or just enjoy some free time.
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 Möhnesee 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.
