Accommodation
At our international summer camp in the Bavarian Forest, you can choose between different accommodation options across two camp locations: at the riverside campsite or on the grounds of the Bavarian State Sports Association (BLSV). All of our accommodation is located close to sanitary facilities; separated for boys and girls. Each group is supervised by dedicated camp counsellors who live nearby and are available around the clock.
Tents – Campsite
Our tent village consists of spacious tents with six to seven spaces to sleep. The tents provide a true outdoor camp experience in the middle of nature. With a sleeping bag and sleeping mat, you can get comfortable and enjoy the classic summer camp experience together with your group.
Tiny Houses – Campsite
For those who prefer a bit more comfort, modern tiny houses are also available at the campsite. These small wooden houses offer fixed beds for 4–8 participants and create a cozy camp atmosphere.
Cabins / Shared Rooms – BLSV Complex
Cabins and shared rooms with four to eight beds are also available on the grounds of the Bavarian State Sports Association. This type of accommodation is located directly on the sports complex and provide comfortable overnight stays with fixed beds and seating areas.
For overnight stays in Cabins/Shared rooms, you will need a pillow, bed sheet, and sleeping bag. Alternatively, bed linen can be booked as an add-on. Accommodation in cabins or houses is available for an additional fee.
Meals
We make sure that everyone is well taken care of: meals are freshly prepared every day — no instant soups or ready-made meals. In the morning, you can enjoy a rich breakfast with fresh bread rolls, a variety of cold cuts, fruit, and a selection of cereals. Tea and juices are also available.
Throughout the day, water — still or sparkling — is always available, along with fresh fruit for snacks in between. Lunch and dinner are usually served as warm meals; occasionally, a traditional cold meal is offered instead. Fresh salads from the buffet are available at every meal.
Vegetarian meals are of course available, and we are happy to accommodate allergies or special dietary requirements upon prior arrangement.
At the Adventure & Language Camp in the Bavarian Forest, each day offers a varied mix of sports, outdoor adventures, creativity, and international camp spirit. The day begins with optional Morning Sports: jogging, yoga, or short fitness sessions to give you an active start to the day. Those who prefer sleeping in can of course enjoy a relaxed morning.
The first major activity block begins in the morning. Here you have a choice: either participate in your booked profile — for example Survival, Husky, Skating, Creative, or English — or choose the basic profile “Adventure, Sports & Creative.” In this program, you create your own schedule every day by selecting from a variety of activities, ranging from sports and outdoor adventures to creative workshops. Something to suit every interest.
After lunch and a short siesta, the afternoon program continues. Now for everyone to experience the entire camp: the sports facilities of the Bavarian State Sports Association provide numerous fields for ball sports, team games, and fitness activities. In addition, there are outdoor activities, creative programs, and group challenges where you can try new things and grow together as a team and solidify friendships.
Thanks to the location directly by the river, water sports such as canoeing or kayaking are regularly part of the program. There is also an outdoor swimming pool right next to the camp, where participants can enjoy swimming and playing in the water together.
In the evening, the whole camp comes together. Evening Activities include campfire nights, talent shows, disco, games, or torchlight hikes — every evening is different and creates a true camp atmosphere.
Excursions are also part of the camp program. During the week, participants might visit the Silberberg mountain with a mine tour and summer toboggan run. For longer stays, additional excursions are included, such as the treetop walk, mini golf, or a visit to the historic city of Regensburg — depending on weather and group arrangements.
On weekends, another special highlight awaits: our famous Camp Adventure hike through the natural landscape of the Bavarian Forest. Alternatively, you can book an additional excursion, such as a city trip to Munich or an action-packed day at Bayern Park.
Adventure, Sports & Creativity (Ages 7–17)
For everyone who loves variety: Every day, a new program awaits you, featuring creative workshops, athletic challenges, and exciting outdoor adventures. You decide on the spot what you feel like doing.
English & German (ages 7–17)
In our language programs, you’ll learn English or German in small groups with qualified language teachers. Over the course of 20 lessons, you’ll expand your vocabulary, improve your grammar, and gain more confidence in speaking—all through dialogues, games, and varied exercises. The focus is on “learning by living”: the language naturally becomes part of your everyday camp life.
English TOEFL (Ages 7–17)
The two-week TOEFL® course is the perfect complement to our English Classic course and can only be booked in combination with it. Building on the practical learning from that course, you’ll prepare specifically for the internationally recognized language test—including a certificate based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). There’s no such thing as failing: Your result clearly shows you your current language proficiency level. In 10 additional hours, you’ll receive intensive training focused on grammar, reading, and listening comprehension, and you’ll complete a full test simulation. This ensures you’re fully prepared for the exam.
Creative (ages 7–17)
Painting, crafting, designing, and experimenting—here you can let your creativity run wild and bring your own ideas and projects to life together with other campers.
Survival (ages 7–17)
Learn how to use a knife properly, start a fire without matches, build a shelter, cook outdoors, and navigate the terrain—here you’ll learn practical skills that really matter. Perfect for anyone who wants to discover what’s possible in the wilderness.
Skating (includes board and protective gear rental) (ages 7–17)
Find your balance, learn your first tricks, and experience plenty of skating action. Whether you’re just starting out or already have some experience, here you’ll refine your technique and receive a board and protective gear on-site.
Skating without equipment (ages 7–17)
Bringing your own board? Great! Learn new tricks, hone your technique, and skate with other campers.

Getting comfortable in the water, learning basic swimming strokes, and having lots of fun in the water. Step by step, you’ll learn to swim confidently—with the opportunity to earn the Seepferdchen or Bronze swimming badge at the end.
Swimming Course for Advanced Swimmers (ages 7–17)
Here you’ll improve your technique, build your endurance, and gain additional confidence in the water—ideal for anyone who already swims well and wants to take their skills to the next level. With the option to earn the Silver or Gold swimming badge at the end.
Space Exploration (ages 7–17)
Rockets, planets, the universe—and the question of what else lies out there. In the Space Exploration program, we dive into the fascinating world of space travel and astronomy: with exciting experiments, creative projects, and plenty of “wow” moments. For everyone who loves to look up at the sky.
Husky Camp (ages 7–17)
Meet our amazing huskies and learn all about training, caring for, and handling sled dogs. With a little luck, you might even earn your own “musher’s license” by the end.
Climbing (Ages 12–17)
Reach for the sky! Here you’ll learn the basics of climbing, master the art of belaying, and gradually develop your technique, strength, and confidence in your own abilities.
Leadership (Ages 15–17)
The Leadership Camp is exclusively for the 15–17 age group and is conducted entirely in English. The program focuses on developing genuine leadership skills: presentation courses, workshops on self-reflection and team leadership—and, as a special highlight, a 3-day overnight hike. The ideal challenge for anyone looking to experience a new “once-in-a-lifetime” adventure.
ICIT – International Camp Counselor in Training (ages 17–18)
Have you been a camper before and now want to become a counselor yourself? In the two-week ICIT program, you’ll be trained as an International Camp Counselor Assistant—including a first-aid course and an official certificate.
ICIT Placement (Ages 17–18)
The ICIT training is immediately followed by the practical phase: As an ICIT Placement, you’ll actively support our team of counselors at camp—leading groups, supervising activities, and gaining valuable experience as a junior staff member. It’s the perfect next step for anyone who knows: This is exactly what I want to do.
Our staff members come from many different countries and guide the campers through their daily camp life. They are always available to talk to, listen, offer help, and ensure that everyone at camp feels safe and welcome. The staff-to-camper ratio ranges from approximately 1:5 to 1:9, depending on the age group. All staff members are carefully selected, specially trained for our camps, have a current criminal background check, and work in accordance with our safety guidelines.
Thanks to the international atmosphere, English is spoken naturally at camp. Whether during games, sports, or around the campfire—the language becomes a natural part of daily life and offers many opportunities to use it actively.
At the same time, camp is also a place for growth. Children and teens gain new experiences, take on responsibility, and learn to overcome challenges. Things don’t always work out right away—and that’s often where an important lesson lies. With the support of our team and a clear structure, a sense of accomplishment develops step by step, fostering self-confidence, courage, and new skills.
For older participants aged 15 to 17, there is additional freedom in daily camp life, such as designated areas for relaxation, adjusted evening schedules, or special night activities. This creates a good balance between independence and community.
The rule at all our camps is: No drugs, no alcohol—just fun! Our digital detox concept also ensures that cell phones are only handed out at specific times. The rest of the day, campers spend time together—outdoors, active, and immersed in real camp life.
