International Sports- & Language Summer Camp

Lake Chiemsee/Inzell, Bavaria

Our camp is open to students from all over the world with a high percentage of German speaking teenagers learning English at camp. Our international students have a choice between learning German or attending English classes for both beginners and those more advanced in these languages. Languages spoken at the bilingual centre are German and English.

Set in the south of Germany, in Southern Bavaria, Inzell is a small but friendly community with beautiful mountain views suitable for students aged 11 to 17.

Have a look at our amazing camp! Join us!

The camp is located on the grounds of the Bavarian Sports Association in Inzell and consists of several little cabins that form a camp ‚village‘. Each cabin will be shared with up to 8 to 12 youths. Each cabin holds their own bathroom and a common area. With the mountains on the door step, there is a variety of leisure activities that can be participated in.

Language Courses

A language course of your choice is already included in the standard fee for a stay at camp. Lessons run over four, 45 minute sessions, five days a week in small groups. You are split into the appropriate class level after you take an initial assessment test on the very first day of camp. Our trained teachers, all native speakers of the language they teach will carefully analyse and use their discretion to decide which particular class you will be in. No matter what language you choose, we put a strong focus on oral participation and improving each individual’s communication skills. We use our own material that has been specially designed for our interactive and modern style of language holidays.
