More about this camp

Alpadia German Summer Camp in Frankfurt-Lahntal is operated by Alpadia Language Schools, part of Kaplan International, at Am Freibad in Biedenkopf, in the Lahn valley of central Germany. It is a residential camp for students aged 10 to 17. Programme and activities. German is taught in Standard and Intensive formats, the difference being the number of lessons per week. The site has its own sports grounds and swimming pool, so a substantial part of the activity programme runs without leaving the campus. Excursions listed include Frankfurt and Cologne, and the surrounding valley provides castles, rivers and forest for outdoor activity. Accommodation and supervision. Students stay in residence accommodation with communal bathrooms. Classrooms and the dining hall are in the same building as the accommodation, which keeps the daily routine contained on one site. Ages, dates and duration. The camp accepts students aged 10 to 17. Arrival dates begin at the end of June — earlier than the UK-based programmes in the catalogue, which mostly start in July. Currently open dates appear in the session list on this page and should be confirmed with the provider before travel is booked. Location and travel. Biedenkopf is a small town in Hesse, in the Lahn valley of central Germany. Frankfurt is the practical arrival airport, and it also features in the excursion programme. Transfer arrangements are not published as part of the standard package and should be requested directly. Who the programme may suit. This camp may suit families specifically seeking German rather than English immersion, and those who prefer a self-contained rural site with its own sports facilities over a city-centre programme. The 10 to 17 age band is wide, so parents of younger students should ask how age groups are separated for teaching, accommodation and supervision. Families wanting German in a capital-city setting should compare it with the provider's Berlin-Wannsee centre.
