About

About the Course

German lessons run Monday to Friday, with a choice of four or five lessons a day. Classes hold no more than fifteen students and are grouped by level: elementary, intermediate and advanced. Complete beginners are not taken on this camp. Teaching is by the GLS teaching staff, and the camp is open to teenagers from 14 to 17 who come from more than fifty countries.

What’s Included

The package covers tuition, accommodation in the castle, full board, two supervised activities a day, two excursions a week with entry fees for GLS activities, insurance for medical care, liability and luggage, and round-the-clock supervision by GLS staff on site. Stays run from one to three weeks. Airport and station transfers, optional add-on trips, the unaccompanied-minor service, local public transport and extra nights are charged separately.

Accommodation

Students live in the castle itself, in rooms for four or five with a private bathroom across the hall. GLS staff are present in the castle around the clock. The castle stands in its own garden on the banks of the River Isar.

Meal Plan

Full board is included for the whole stay.

Activities & Excursions

Two activities every day and two excursions a week, one full-day and one half-day. The programme uses the castle grounds and the river, and takes students into Munich and the surrounding Bavarian countryside. Entry fees for GLS activities are included.

Facilities

A restored castle with a garden on the banks of the River Isar, classrooms on site, and shared common areas. The location is urban yet green, just south of the centre of Munich and within easy reach of the city.

Camp Experience

A small international camp where teenagers learn German in the morning and spend the afternoons and evenings together on the castle grounds, by the river and on trips into Munich. Participants come from more than fifty countries, so German is the common language outside the classroom as well as in it.

Afternoons and evenings are filled with two supervised activities a day, and there are two excursions a week — one full day and one half day — in Munich and around Bavaria.
