Overview
For summer 2026, I have selected four course locations, each of which perfectly represents our beautiful country. We will start in Vienna for the older students, then continue south to Seeboden am Millstättersee, then to Angerberg in Tyrol, and finally to Bad Goisern in the Salzkammergut, the heart of Austria.
All camps are advertised for slightly different age groups, and we welcome children aged 10 to 18. For our German lessons, a basic level of A1 is required, but there are no upper limits.
The children learn in groups of up to 9 people for 4 hours in the morning and 1 hour in the evening, Monday to Friday. In the afternoons and on weekends, various activities and excursions are offered, which the students can choose from on site.
The ideal course duration is 2 weeks, but we offer programs ranging from 1 to 6 weeks.

Activities
Since we travel to four different regions during the six weeks of the course and at least one activity is offered every afternoon, the complete list can be found on our homepage.
Here are some highlights for excursions:
Vienna – Klimt museum, bicycle tour through the city, music festival at night, old city walk
Seeboden – boat trip and beach with diving tower, high rope course, Pyramidenkogel, Monkey Mountain, Klagenfurt city trip
Angerberg – Swarovski Crystal World, silver mine, hikes and lakes, fun park, canyon hike, Kufstein Fortress
Bad Goisern – Visit to Hallstatt and salt mine, Dachstein ice cave, canyoning, rafting
All activities will be announced in advance and can be chosen by the children individually when they sign up the evening before. Excursions are charged in addition to the course fee at the camp. All sports and fun facilities around the accommodations can be used free of charge. One free hike per week is compulsory for the whole group.

Group size of maximum 9 students
Teachers rotate groups every lesson
Sports and leisure program with an emphasis of using the language in praxis
The very international field of participants encourage to use the language all day round.
The second focus is to impart knowledge about Austria (geography, culture, history, lifestyle)
Language lessons
The primary aim of our lessons is to put what has already been learned at school into practice – the students should lose their inhibitions about the language.
We start with a placement test on the day of arrival, then divide students into groups of no more than 9 people according to their level.
Each teacher covers a different topic in each lesson – naturally in line with the international curriculum for German as a foreign language. Written assignments are also set. On request, students can take a realistic ÖSD exam to test their knowledge.
25hours of lessons per week
Schedule
The camps start on Sundays with an introductory session, placement test, and a group walk in the surrounding area.
From Monday to Friday, there are five lessons per day (four in the morning and one in the evening).
On weekends, full-day excursions are offered for two-week camps. The course ends on Saturday at noon.
Accommodation & facilities
Vienna:
In Vienna, our students live in spacious apartments within easy reach of the city center and close to Schönbrunn Palace. Breakfast and dinner are served in the apartment building, and students receive lunch at school.
Seeboden:
The cozy Villa Friedheim, a well-maintained two-story building with a large garden and terrace, is available exclusively to our group. From here, it's only a 5-minute walk to the swimming area at the lake. There is plenty of space for classes, a beautiful multipurpose room, and many of the rooms even have their own balconies.
Angerberg:
The Forellenhof in Angerberg is a former hotel with many spacious double rooms, balconies, and a large outdoor area. The rooms and furniture are decorated in typical Tyrolean country style. There is a trout pond and a mini golf course right next to the complex.
Bad Goisern:
We are staying in a beautiful youth hostel right in the town. We are not the only group in the large building, but our students have a separate area and our own classrooms. The rooms are large and have 4-6 beds. In front of the building there is a basketball court, tennis court, and soccer field.
