English camp at Altmühlsee 

Our holiday camp on Lake Altmühl is located right next to Lake Brombach in the Franconian Lake District and is easily accessible from cities like Nuremberg, Ingolstadt, and Augsburg. We use the lakeside setting as a learning environment: bubble soccer, mini-golf, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and cycling tours are all opportunities, led by our instructors, to practice English in everyday situations. Our young team of native and international instructors not only leads the lessons but also the entire leisure program – because at Camps for Friends, the camp language is always and everywhere English!

to learn English
in the holiday camp in Franconia

At the language camp in Bavaria on Lake Altmühl, children and teenagers learn English around the clock. Small class sizes and a personal assessment at the beginning guarantee individualized support and work on selected language focus areas.

Our young team of native-speaking and international counselors provides individual support to the kids in learning English. Even outside of class, our counselors consistently speak English and encourage the children to actively use the language in everyday camp life.

FAQ

The camp price includes all services of the holiday program, from accommodation with full board to material costs for the learning projects and
Leisure activities and entrance fees for excursions. Your child only needs some pocket money for snacks or postcards. We recommend an amount of 30 euros per week (in small change if possible). Your child can hand in the pocket money to the camp management and receive the desired amount daily.

After booking, you will immediately receive confirmation of your camp reservation. Your information will be checked for completeness by the following day at the latest. You will then receive a booking confirmation via email. This confirmation contains your personalized link to our customer center. After logging in with your child's date of birth (please note: if you have multiple children, always use a separate personalized link for each child), you will be taken to the camps for friends customer center. Here you will find all the important information and documents you will need: the parental consent form, your booking details, your account balance, the packing list, your check-in button, and much more.

Your child does not need separate insurance for
the holiday camp: your family's own health and
Liability insurance is completely
sufficient.

If your child becomes ill before the start of camp and
cannot attend, please send us
a written cancellation as soon as possible.
If your child becomes ill during camp,

of course informed immediately.

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.
