Action, learning and fun at the English camp in Ammersee
Learn English and escape from everyday life – at our camp at Lake Ammersee, kids get to improve their language skills in a fun, playful way and have an unforgettable time. Together we’ll discover the surrounding area, let off steam with sports and team games or get creative. The great thing: our camp is located directly on the lake in the middle of the great outdoors.
Learning English in Wartaweil according to the Berlitz method
The core focus of our Berlitz method is to use the foreign language as much as possible. We do this primarily through play: for example, by having the kids create a camp diary, play language games, or work on projects.
At our Wartaweil language camp, everything revolves around the foreign language. We’ll be speaking as much English as possible - both during lessons and the leisure program. Kids can expect the following:
- "Learning by speaking" in small groups with a qualified counselor,
- 4 x 45-minute classes five camp days a week.
At our Wartaweil language camp, we aim to give kids the confidence and self-assurance they need to speak English in a group setting. Therefore, we make sure that the learning groups are assigned according to age and ability level. Friendships often develop this way, and many kids can’t wait to see their new friends again at another camp the following year.
Sporty, creative, exciting: our leisure program
Whether it’s at the campfire, a graffiti workshop or playing air hockey: at the language camp in Ammersee, our motto is "learning by speaking". Even after class is over, we continue to speak in English. The only exceptions are safety instructions and leisure programs offered externally.
How we spend our afternoons and evenings depends on the weather and the group and can vary. Our free time might look something like this:
Colorful afternoons at the Ammersee
Are kids looking to let off some steam after classes are over? No problem: we can release all that pent-up energy together during a round of soccer or a table tennis tournament. Or we might organize a house rally and strengthen our team spirit. Still not tired? How about a hike along the lake shore to Herrsching? We’ll take our cameras with us – and see whose photos of the lake shore will reign supreme in a photo contest. Creative kids can also look forward to cool workshops such as graffiti T-shirts or paper crafts. Or we'll transform into someone else and put on a play in the rec room. In addition, we do typical activities depending on the season:
- skiing in winter,
- house rally at Easter and Whitsun,
- and house rally and SUP XXL in summer.
The exciting day ends for participants of our Day Camps with afternoon activities at 5.30 p.m. But don’t worry: The next day directly starts at 8.45 a.m. with language training and varied activities.
Fun and relaxation in the evening
After an exciting afternoon, we unwind over dinner together. Then we end the evening off on a relaxing note. When the weather is nice, one good idea is to watch the magical sunset from the jetty. Or we might test our knowledge during a fun quiz night. If kids are in a party mood, we’ll organize an in-house disco party.
Important note: The offered activities are depending on the weather, date, and availability – therefore the program may vary.

In the middle of the great outdoors: the Schullandheim Wartaweil
The perfect location for some relaxation: the Schullandheim Wartaweil is located directly on the lake shore in a huge park. The property features a soccer field, basketball court as well as a private bathing jetty. The adventure park, which also belongs to the house, is the perfect place to experience nature with all our senses: at the water park, for example, the listening station or on the barefoot path. Indoors, there’s a large rec room with foosball, pool table, air hockey and table tennis. There’s also a stereo with mixer: perfect for parties!
Incredibly beautiful: the Ammersee near Munich
The Ammersee is located in the Upper Bavarian district of Starnberg, just outside Munich. It’s a popular excursion and vacation destination for all nature lovers and is perfect for swimming, surfing or sailing. A 10 km-long lake promenade, the longest in Germany, is perfect for going for a walk and letting your mind wander. Wartaweil, picturesquely situated on the lake shore, belongs to the municipality of Herrsching, which we can walk to.
