The quickest way to see it: a real camp day at the Academy of Magic at Colditz Castle – in the original stories from our Instagram channel.
You don’t have to wait until the last day to see what’s going on — our trainers share photos and stories from camp midweek, so you can follow along with what the group is up to almost live.
On the last day, you’re warmly invited to watch the campers show off what they’ve built over the week — from magical short films to adventure journals, from businesses they’ve launched to the final dance ensemble. Standing up and presenting in English is often the moment their new confidence really shows. Ceremony, snacks and a certificate for every camper included.
At our holiday camps, children and teenagers learn English the way it works best: through experiences. Native speaking trainers and creative professionals in theatre, dance and music create days full of creative projects, games and adventures – from day camps in your city to overnight camps with campfires.
Every camp is a world to dive into – and English is the language of the adventure. Five academy formats set the tone; you'll find all themes, locations and dates in the camp finder above.
The school of wizardry
A week at wizard school: children aged 8 to 13 dive into a magical, English-speaking world – with a Sorting Ceremony, house points and magical quests.
The hero camp
Become a superhero: children discover their hero strengths in team missions and Hero Trials – with challenging workshops and adventures. Every child is a hero.
The stage week
A week in the spotlight: at the opening ceremony every child gets their own performer role, then the ensembles work through drama, improv and creative workshops – all in English.
The week for teens
A week for yourself – in English: teenagers aged 14 to 17 combine full English immersion with mindfulness, leadership challenges and outdoor adventures.
The founder camp
From idea to pitch – in English: teenagers aged 14 to 17 build their own (practice) start-up in a week, from idea workshops through the Business Model Canvas to design thinking – working towards the big final pitch.
Our trainers are native English speakers from the UK, the USA, Ireland, Canada and beyond. They bring experience from education, theatre and coaching – and the knack for getting kids talking.
Real English from real people – every camp is led by native-speaker trainers.
First-aid qualifications, child-protection training and a clear supervision ratio – 8:1 around the clock at overnight camps.
No lessons, no vocabulary tests – English is simply the language of the camp, from breakfast to the final show.
Moments that stick – told by the campers themselves.
At day camps, children aged around 7 to 13 are reliably looked after from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm and are back home every evening. Overnight camps run for 5 to 6 nights, all-inclusive with full board and 24/7 supervision, for children and teenagers aged around 8 to 18.
No. Our camps are designed for all levels – from a first taste of English to advanced teenagers. Our trainers meet every child where they are, and English grows through joining in, not through exam pressure.
Continuously. Our supervisors hold first-aid qualifications and child-protection training, and there's a clear supervision ratio. At overnight camps someone is on hand around the clock (an 8:1 ratio).
Day camps are for children aged around 7 to 13, who are back home in the evenings. Overnight camps are for children and teenagers aged around 8 to 18 – with groups organised by age.
You'll find all current locations, dates and prices in the camp finder above – from day camps in Berlin, Hamburg or Leipzig to overnight camps at partner youth hostels across Germany. Camps run during the school holidays; new dates always appear there first.
Our teams are trained for exactly this. The busy, community-focused daily schedule helps – and in an emergency we're always available for parents.
You can cancel free of charge up to 30 days before the camp starts (minus a €25 admin fee); a tiered refund applies after that. For overnight camps we recommend travel cancellation insurance to cover illness; for day camps we refund a fair share as a voucher with a doctor's note. For camps booked through DJH, the cancellation terms of the respective DJH regional association apply – we're happy to share the details before you book.
Directly on each camp's page: pick the right camp in the camp finder – you'll find the booking link or enquiry form there. After registering you'll receive all the details on the schedule, packing list and payment.

Head of Camps
As Head of Camps, Ed brings the overnight and day camps to the whole DACH region — set on giving every camper a standout experience.
He studied philosophy in Amsterdam, spent four years as a LevelUp trainer and has been with the camp department since early 2026. What he enjoys most is marketing the camps so the world sees what really happens at a LevelUp camp.
Wake up every day with a reason to look forward to it. Do it deliberately — and enjoy it!
