Location: GLS - Summer Centre Munich offers junior summer camps in and around the Bavarian capital city, Munich. Whether it's in a castle within the city limits or on a lake in the Bavarian Alps, the programmes all have much to offer, both in and beyond German classes. The different options are always within easy reach of Munich International Airport (MUC).
Options: Teens who wish to study in Munich during their summer vacations can choose between a more traditional summer holiday in the Alps which can include hiking, swimming in the lake, mountain biking and rock climbing or an urban holiday with regular outings in Munich while residing in a restored, late eighteenth-century castle. Whichever the option, students will attend international language classes and learn German alongside teens from around the world.
All included: In addition to 20 German lessons each week, all the junior programmes with GLS - Summer Centre Munich include accommodation and full board, in the same location as the language classes, a full programme of organised activities (two per day) and two excursions each week, one half-day, one full-day.
