There is usually an extensive buffet where you can choose soup, main course and dessert to your heart's content. Drinks (raspberry and elderberry juice) are also included! If you have any special dietary requirements, we will be happy to accommodate them.
After lunch:
Then we continue with lots of fun - in English, of course! When the weather is nice, we go to the Praterwald forest or to our own playground and explore the surrounding area, play soccer and basketball or go geocaching. A trip to the municipal outdoor pool is also planned! If the weather is not so good, we play tennis, table tennis, squash or badminton at the nearby sports center, or watch a cool movie with popcorn!
Please note: some of the afternoon supervision can also be provided in German!
And very importantly:
As we also offer IT, Minecraft & Coding Camps at our camp location, you also have the opportunity - if you like - to fly a drone or print out your creative ideas on our 3D printers!

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 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.
