Insight into the City DayCamp, Munich

Fun and action at the English language camp in Munich, Oberhaching.

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.

Example daily routine

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

GOAL of the camps for friends is
the language experience

We want to inspire children to learn the language and facilitate access. The concept is based on four components.

Language

The children communicate in English throughout the day—with each other and with our international trainers from England, the USA, Canada, etc. No matter what language level the children start at—it's very quick and fun!

LIFE

Language must be fun, language
must be experienced together. camps for friends creates a relaxed learning environment where no one has to fear making mistakes. Fairness and helpfulness are also part of the learning experience.

ACTIVITY

We meet the children where they feel comfortable and safe. For many children, this means, for example, sports or shared experiences in nature. This is where communication in the "foreign" language is most effective.
Easiest.

NEWS

Depending on age, language skills and interests, we discuss together
current topics. We encourage creative, critical thinking, research relevant content together, read texts, or simply listen.

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 to material costs for learning projects, leisure activities, and entrance fees for excursions. Your child only needs some pocket money for snacks or postcards. We recommend an amount of €30 per week (in small change if possible). Your child can hand in the pocket money to the camp director and receive the desired amount daily.

What information will I receive after my booking?

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

How is my child insured at camp?

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

What happens if my child gets sick before or during camp?

If your child becomes ill before the start of camp and is unable to attend, please send us a written cancellation as soon as possible. Should your child become ill during camp, the camp director will visit a doctor with your child. In this case, you will, of course, be notified immediately.
