About the Course

The program provides an intensive German language course consisting of 30 lessons each week, taking place from Monday to Friday in small groups that typically have around 11 students. Designed specifically for young learners, the course material covers every level from complete beginner to proficient. The teaching approach stresses active involvement and a large amount of speaking practice through diverse and stimulating class formats, making sure that learners build all fundamental language abilities — listening, reading, speaking, and writing — in an energetic and encouraging learning setting.

What’s Included

The base cost is a comprehensive all-inclusive package. It covers 30 German lessons per week, all course materials, accommodation in the residence, full board (three meals plus a daily snack), a daily activity program, weekly excursions with entrance fees, 24-hour supervision, laundry service, and a certificate. An optional extra is an airport transfer from/to Munich Airport (MUC) for an additional fee and an additional fee for unaccompanied minor service (if required). A free pickup service is provided from Munich's main train station (Hauptbahnhof).

Accommodation

Students stay in the Don Bosco youth hostel, a dedicated residential campus. Accommodation is in bright and cheerful dormitory rooms, most with two beds (some with 3-4 beds). Shared showers and toilets are available on each floor. Roommates are carefully matched to be of similar age and German level but with different native languages to encourage constant German practice. Boys and girls are housed separately. The facility offers Wi-Fi and 24-hour supervision, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and community-oriented environment.

Meal Plan

The program operates on a full-board basis, providing three main meals per day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) as well as an additional daily snack. Any specific dietary needs are advised to be communicated during the registration process.

Activities & Excursions

The daily leisure schedule is varied and aims to provide enjoyment, cultural exposure, and a sense of group connection. Activities held at the location make great use of the hostel's wonderful amenities, which include a large indoor swimming pool, a sports hall and field, a fitness room, and games such as billiards, foosball, and table tennis. The schedule features weekly half‑day trips (on Wednesday) and full‑day trips (on Saturday) to major destinations like Nuremberg, Innsbruck, and the Alps, as well as exploring the city of Munich itself.

Facilities

The course center is the well-equipped Don Bosco youth hostel, which functions as a full residential campus. On-site facilities include friendly, well-equipped classrooms, a large indoor swimming pool, extensive indoor and outdoor athletic facilities (sports hall, field, fitness room), a big lounge, and a party room.

More about this camp

These German summer courses are based in Munich, the Bavarian capital, for teenagers aged 15 to 18. Programme and activities. The camp offers German-language courses for older teenagers in one of Germany's most famous cities, combining a big-city cultural offer with proximity to the Alps and Bavarian countryside. Accommodation. Students stay in the Don Bosco youth hostel, a dedicated residential campus, in bright rooms. As with the provider's other city courses, a hostel is more communal than a school residence; families should confirm room arrangements and supervision. Ages, dates and duration. The camp accepts students aged 15 to 18 — the narrowest and oldest band among the provider's German courses, so this is squarely an older-teenager programme rather than one for younger children. Five arrival dates run from mid-July into August. Location and travel. Munich is served by Munich Airport, with wide international connections and strong rail links. Transfer arrangements are not published. Who the programme may suit. This camp may suit older teenagers, 15 and above, who want German immersion in a major Bavarian city with the Alps within reach, and who are comfortable in a central hostel setting. It is not a programme for younger children — the minimum is 15. Families with a younger student should look at the provider's junior courses at Reimlingen or Bad Schussenried, or its resort-town course at Lindenberg.
