Summer Camp 2025 

Our Summer Camps welcome all children ages 3-9 and ages 10-14 for our cooking camp in August

Our native German speaking teachers are excited to welcome our campers to their summer adventure - projects, experiments, field trips, crafts & arts await in an immersive German setting. No prior German knowledge necessary. 

This is a bilingual camp, everybody is welcome.

During camp our Kinder will venture to the local parks daily and also go on at least one full day field trip to an off-campus location. Our students will share adventures, develop new friendships, and learn and practice their German language. 

All camps run for two weeks.
