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.
ANIMALS AND NATURE – Adventure, Wonder and Discovery
Experience nature at its best!

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 nature in its purest form.

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!
Does your child play basketball professionally, want to start playing or simply love this wonderful game?
Regardless of their starting level, we can improve their skills and take their understanding of the game to a new level!
Our experienced coaches know the journey from beginner to experienced player like no one else and are ready to share their experience to help children avoid mistakes that can slow down their development.
We offer an intensive week of training. Depending on the weather, we train on our high-quality outdoor court at the Stuer estate or in a sports centre located just a 10-minute bike ride from the castle. This allows us to adapt the basketball training flexibly to the weather conditions.
Two training sessions per day and individual support make it possible to improve both technical and tactical skills. The coaches divide the children into groups to work specifically on the aspects of the game where they need the most improvement.
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 the highest sporting goals :)
Our famous cooking workshops have delighted every guest so far! We cook with plenty of fun while learning 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 spring. How about short walks through the beautiful spring 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 sports and team games also provide plenty of movement and fun together. And if the spring weather doesn’t cooperate, there are lots of opportunities to stay active and creative together indoors.
And we always find time for daily routines such as morning exercise, making your bed or organising your clothes. These activities help us develop patience, personal responsibility and discipline.
Join us and let’s continue to share the enthusiasm for this wonderful game that the German national team has inspired!
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!

From fear to joy: Fear of water or deep water is very common, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. We help you overcome these barriers! With our many years of experience as competitive athletes and coaches, we’ll show you how to build confidence in the water step by step and perhaps even turn swimming into your passion.
