Insight into our English Camps

Fun and action at the English language camp

English camp for ages 8 and up?

Absolutely! Many children have great difficulty with the foreign language after transitioning to secondary school. Then it's much more difficult to generate enthusiasm for the new language.

Changes due to weather, children's interests, etc. are possible at any time.

Our daughter went to day camp in Oberhaching. She was especially excited about the sports on offer—swimming, beach volleyball, soccer, basketball, etc. And then the highlight: the trip to Bavaria Filmstadt! I think she learned a lot more English at camp than she initially realized. Suddenly, she's pronouncing English words completely differently and enjoys "testing out" English phrases on the rest of the family. 🙂 She's only 8, but we'll definitely book again this summer.

Our daughter was more than thrilled! She learned a lot without having to go to traditional school! The afternoon program, with its sports activities and the trip to Bavaria Filmstadt, was also very popular! Lunch was almost always a hit (though that was probably because she doesn't like mushrooms, for example, but there were alternatives). Our daughter will be back! Without a doubt.

My grandson (10) attended an English camp at the sports school in Oberhaching at Easter. He was absolutely thrilled; but what makes me happiest is that he's found English fun. For example, English actually had to be spoken during soccer matches, too. Now the referee is suddenly the "ref"... I'm a retired teacher myself and spend a lot of time working with educational concepts. It's so nice to see that it can also be done in a fun way!

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the empathetic and responsible coaches. My 11-year-old twins were diagnosed with celiac disease six months ago. Unfortunately, the topic isn't entirely second nature to us yet, and I was very worried about how they would fare at camp. However, we were able to coordinate everything beforehand, and everything at camp itself went very smoothly.

My 8-year-old daughter really wanted to go to English camp at the Oberhaching Sports School. Since she's only in 3rd grade and hasn't really learned much English before, I thought it was quite ambitious... But actually, she started asking us English questions on the second day. She's so euphoric because she realizes how great the language is and that whole new possibilities are opening up. On her next vacation, she definitely wants to be able to talk to the kids on the beach (like her big sister). If that isn't motivation, then 🙂

To be honest, our daughter was a bit skeptical at first... Firstly, she's a bit shy and secondly, she's actually always happy when there's no school 😊 But after the Easter week at camp, she came back "a head taller" and is finding it much easier to learn.

FAQ

How do the younger children communicate in camp?

In class, the older children help the younger ones. The younger children repeat a lot, which gives them a very good feel for the language. During leisure activities, we've even found that communicating in English is often easier for the younger children than for the older ones. They're much less afraid of making mistakes, communicate with their hands and feet, and just start talking. And that's exactly the idea behind our camps.

Which services are included in the travel price?

The camp price includes all services of the
Holiday program, from accommodation with full board
about material costs for the learning projects to
