Learn German under bulbous spires
The accommodation for our young participants of the language camp in Rot an der Rot is truly magnificent. The former hunting palace was previously a monastery. The current building is from the late 17th century, with the bulbous spires that were typical for south German baroque churches.The summer language camp of the Goethe-Institut is certainly more relaxed than the monastic life of yesteryear, but our language camp participants aged 12 to 15 can't evade the classes. With two teaching blocks in the morning and one in the afternoon on three or four days, the students of our German course learn with their peers from all over the world. Whether learning vocabulary and grammar, practicing reading and writing, whether speaking or understanding German: all aspects of language learning are covered. This means 28 hours of lessons each week, which can quickly lead to remarkable progress.
Unlike the monks of old times, our language students can enjoy, after classes, the fun that our action-packed sports, cultural and leisure program offers. Whether soccer, table tennis and volleyball for the sporty ones or forest walks and climbing tours for the nature fans, we offer the right leisure activity for everyone. On hot days, we take a break at the nearby natural swimming lake Fuchsweiher, two day-trips are also part of the language program. Three meals a day, always with a vegetarian option, as well as drinks and refreshments during the class breaks and in the afternoon will give the students the necessary energy.
Highlights
Fairy tale castles and cathedrals
In order to use the new German language skills with the locals, we will make field trips with our camp participants to Ulm, where the Ulmer Münster can be admired, a gothic Cathedral with the highest church tower in the world. A little further away is the Bavarian capital Munich, where soccer fans can visit the Allianz Arena. A trip to Füssen in the Allgäu region takes us to the most famous of all German castles, the Neuschwanstein Palace of the Bavarian King Ludwig II, commonly known as the fairy tale castle.There will also be an excursion to nearby Memmingen, one of the best preserved cities in southern Germany with a beautiful old town. Lake Constance, the largest lake in Germany, is worth a trip, too. Close by, however, is a wild boar park, several castle ruins and a farm where students can get in touch with the cows.
