Preschool-12 Dual Language Education in
Two Locations in the Bay Area

Preschool Camp: Age 3-5


For preschoolers, we offer a loving play group with two camp instructors and max. 15 children.

Following German early childhood pedagogy, our program blends crafts, imaginative play, outdoor time, music and movement, and time for children to explore their own interests.

The instructors speak in German only, but will respond to both spoken English and German. Children from all language levels are welcome from total beginner to native speaker.

We hope that your child will enjoy their German time, learn lots of new songs and stories, be proud of what they accomplish, and meet many new friends.

Enrollment for Summer Camp is on a first come, first served basis.


Once capacities for sessions are reached, or if we do not have enough staff due to teacher's shortage, if not enough children sign up for a class, or if CDC guidelines change we cannot guarantee desired schedules or camp availability. 

Enrollment from waitlists when possible.
