German for teenagers in Munich

MUNICH
CASTLE

Ages 14 - 17

Learn German @ Munich Castle Summer School

Ages 14 - 17

This camp in Munich is truly spectacular: you´ll learn German in a historic castle! The castle is in the southern city center of Munich, on the banks of River Isar. And Munich Highlights such as Hofbräuhaus, Bavaria Filmstudios or Frauenkirche are within easy reach. You´ll have German classes in the morning, and after class our activity program begins: we´ll have barbecues on River Isar, play volleyball or go shopping in Munich. You´ll get to see all the highlights that Munich has to offer! And we also show you how the region around Munich looks like, there will be weekend trips to lakes nearby and into the mountains (website of Munich, website of the castle, where you stay).
