Details of the different Cambridge preparation programs
Cambridge Starters (PRE A1)
This is the first level of the Cambridge English exams for children. The Starters exam is aimed at beginners with a basic knowledge of English and tests basic skills such as listening to and understanding simple sentences and recognizing everyday vocabulary. Children taking Starters should be able to communicate in English in very simple situations.
Cambridge Movers (A1)
The Movers exam is the next level after Starters and is aimed at children who already have a basic knowledge of English. This exam is about expanding vocabulary and grammar as well as deepening reading and listening comprehension. The children should be able to hold simple conversations and understand texts that relate to everyday topics
Cambridge Flyers (A2)
The Flyers exam is an advanced exam that helps children to further develop their English language skills. It tests more complex skills in the areas of speaking, listening, reading and writing. Children should be able to write simple texts, understand spoken language and find their way around familiar everyday situations in English.
Questions & answers about the camp
What is the concrete benefit of the summer camp for me?
You will take the Cambridge preparation course for the corresponding Cambridge certificate in a small group.

The Helen Doron Preparation Book was developed on an international level between Helen Doron and Cambridge. The course is state of the art, new, entertaining, interactive and full of fun!
What happens if I don't understand something or it becomes too boring for me?
You are with us to learn - and to understand. Our team of trainers is always there for you, and will explain everything to you again if you haven't understood something yet. If it gets too boring, we have enough material in stock to help you learn more difficult tasks!
Is there also play at the holiday camp?
Yes, of course! That's also part of it. On the one hand, we have playful elements in the English course, some of which are also integrated outdoors, and on the other hand, we always go outside to play in the second half of the day or sometimes to the swimming pool, or on Friday optionally to go bowling!
