For 2026, we have prepared six unique holiday camps covering a variety of themes. Please choose the one that suits your child best.
Spend the week in Leizen and be home for the week-end!
The whole week (Saturday to Saturday) in Leizen, weekend included!
In the rapidly changing modern world, even adults find it challenging to keep up with new trends and innovations. Since children also have to pay attention to their own development, they often find themselves overwhelmed.
In our camp, we help children discover themselves by offering a variety of workshops and seminars within a week, allowing each child to explore different roles and identify their strengths and weaknesses.
Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of artificial intelligence and new technologies! During interactive sessions, we learn to analyze texts, create images, and compose music. After the sessions, we discuss the role of artificial intelligence in society, exploring the pros and cons of this emerging technology together.
Beyond technical skills, it's crucial for us to show children that work can be diverse. We cook together and create things with our hands daily. From soups to desserts, your child will learn to cook their favorite dishes and delight you with culinary successes at home.
In order to build awareness around their newly learned skills, we discuss current topics together and learn to express opinions respectfully while listening to others in a friendly and safe atmosphere.
Our famous cooking workshops are a must for our every guest. So far, we have not encountered a child who would not be eager to cook and thereby learn about the essentials of healthy cooking, compositions and benefits of produce as well as efficient ways to peel and cut fruits and vegetables.
And we always find time for routines like morning sports, bed making and clothes management. These train our patience and discipline.
Bring your child to Schloss Leizen, and gift them a week of developing valuable life skills and making new friendships.
Discover the Wilderness of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern!
Every step an adventure, every route a story:
With the wind in your hair, you’ll explore the picturesque surroundings on varied cycling and hiking tours. A real highlight awaits you in the evening: Under one of the clearest skies in Germany, you can admire the sparkling Milky Way – far away from disturbing light pollution. By a crackling campfire, you’ll experience the magic of autumn nature in its purest form.
Experience animals, discover nature:
Our camp is the perfect place to experience adventures and learn new things. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of native animals and plants waiting to be discovered right on our doorstep.

Exciting Additional Activities!
In addition to our daily nature experiences, there are countless opportunities to spend your time creatively and enjoy plenty of variety. How about exciting sports and team games or creative activities? Together with your new friends, you can play games, get creative, dance or try your hand at acting and rehearse a play.
A special highlight is our popular cooking workshops! Here, you’ll not only enjoy cooking, but also learn the basics of healthy nutrition in a fun way: from the composition and function of different foods to efficient techniques for peeling and cutting fruit and vegetables.
Of course, there is also time for important daily routines such as morning exercise, making your bed or organising your clothes. These activities promote patience, personal responsibility and discipline – skills that will also help you in everyday life.
Look forward to an unforgettable week full of fun, adventure and new friendships – with us at Schloss Leizen!
Beginner or Pro – Improve Your Skills Here!
Regardless of your starting level, we can improve your skills and take your understanding of the game to a new level!
Our experienced coaches know the path from beginner to experienced player like no one else and are ready to share their experience to help children avoid mistakes that can hold back their development.
We offer an intensive week of training. In autumn, every basketball training session takes place in the sports hall. Two training sessions per day and individual coaching make it possible to improve both technical and tactical skills. The coaches divide the children into groups in order to focus specifically on the aspects of the game they find challenging.
And what is just as important for a basketball player as training?
Of course, nutrition!
Thanks to the fact that all food on our estate is prepared according to organic standards and vegetables from our own farm are used, every child benefits from a healthy balance of fats, proteins and carbohydrates — essential for achieving their sporting goals :)
Our famous cooking workshops have delighted every guest so far! We cook with enthusiasm and, along the way, learn the basics of healthy cooking, the composition and functions of different foods and efficient methods for peeling and cutting fruit and vegetables.
In addition to two daily basketball training sessions, there are countless opportunities to spend your time creatively and enjoy plenty of variety, even in autumn. How about short walks through the beautiful autumn nature of the Mecklenburg Lake District? Discover the beauty of the surroundings with your new friends, play games, get creative, dance or try your hand at acting and rehearse a play.
Exciting team games also provide plenty of activity and fun together. And when the autumn weather doesn’t cooperate, there are lots of opportunities indoors to be active and creative together.
Of course, there is also time for important daily routines such as morning exercise, making your bed or organising your clothes. These activities help us develop patience, personal responsibility and discipline.
Look forward to an intensive week of basketball full of training, fun, new experiences and friendships – with us at Schloss Leizen!
Learning German has never been so interesting and fun!
Every day, the program includes two interactive sessions to help improve practical language skills.
We understand very well that German can be challenging at the initial stages. But don't worry! Our experienced teachers tailor their approach to each child and explain the material in a simple and playful manner.
And the real learning goes beyond the classroom. What we learn in sessions is immediately applied by the children in their daily lives. With numerous seminars and excursions, everyone has the opportunity to use acquired skills in practice. This way, we not only teach German but also practice it in various life situations.
Additionally, everyone has the opportunity to make new friends from different cultural backgrounds and countries. Communication and knowledge exchange not only allows for learning something new about other cultures but also improves communication skills on various topics.
Our famous cooking workshops are a must for our every guest. So far, we have not encountered anybody who would not be eager to cook and thereby learn about the essentials of healthy cooking, compositions and benefits of produce as well as efficient ways to peel and cut fruits and vegetables.
And at Schloss Leizen you always find time for routines like morning sports, bed making or clothes management. These help you with developing your patience and discipline.
Come to us, and you'll see that learning German can be fun and interesting!
Dive into a language journey that seamlessly combines learning and fun! In this language-filled camp, we offer you interactive learning sessions aimed at improving your English in a practical context, twice a day, for a week.
Within this learning adventure, we also provide you with the opportunity to form new friendships in a multicultural environment. Interacting with like-minded individuals from different countries not only broadens your horizons but also allows for an authentic application of acquired language skills. Through shared activities and projects, intercultural experiences emerge, enriching the language-learning process.
Our approach is not only to teach you the language but also to instill the confidence to actively use it. In dynamic and diverse learning sessions, we employ modern teaching methods that further character development as much as they increase capabilities.
Sustainable learning extends beyond the classroom — what you work on in class, you apply directly to your daily life in the camp, during fun activities that aren’t directly related to English lessons. Thus, English is not just heard and spoken but lived!
Come and discover with us that learning English can be enjoyable!

With every task, your understanding of these magnificent animals grows – their needs, their strengths, and their gentleness. You’ll learn to take responsibility and develop a sense of true teamwork between horse and rider.
