Be a superhero for a week – in English. At the Academy of Heroes, children aged 8 to 13 discover their heroic strengths: an archetype ceremony, a self-designed hero t-shirt, missions, Hero Trials and their own comic workshop. Led by native-speaker trainers, 9:00 to 16:00 with a warm lunch included – on Friday the heroes present their showcase to parents.
The concept
Welcome to the Academy of Heroes
Every hero has a strength: courage, wisdom, power or fearlessness. On day one, each camper discovers theirs – with a personal Archetype Card, a hero name and a self-designed hero t-shirt.
The week is built around that identity: teams take on missions, crack codes and compete in the Ultimate Hero Trials. In the comic workshop every hero story gets its own pages – and because all of it happens in English, the language grows with every mission.
At the end of the week the heroes show what they are made of at the big Hero Showcase – parents warmly invited.

You’re part of the camp week too
From midweek updates to the big Final Presentation — you won’t miss a thing.
The Final Presentation
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.
Midweek updates
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.
Frequently asked questions
My child only speaks a little English – is that a problem?
No. Our trainers run the whole day in English but meet every child at their own level: understanding comes first, and speaking follows once it feels safe. Playing, building and rehearsing together, even quieter kids warm up quickly.
Who looks after the kids?
A LevelUp team of native-speaker and international trainers runs the programme and stays with the group throughout the camp week. Midweek we share photos and short updates, and you are warmly invited to the final presentation on the last day.
What does a camp day look like?
Mornings start with interactive English sessions; afternoons are for projects, games and challenges – all in English, all supervised. Exact drop-off and pick-up times come with your registration confirmation.
How do I register my child?
Right from the booking section on this page – via the booking link or an enquiry. After registering you receive all details on the schedule, packing list and payment.
