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.

Is your child into basketball professionally, looking to start, or simply loves the game?
Regardless of the initial skill level, we can enhance their abilities and take their understanding of the game to new heights!
Our experienced coaches, like no other, know the path from a beginner to a skilled professional and are ready to share their expertise, helping children learn from mistakes that could otherwise hinder development and progress.
We offer an intensive week of training. During the winter, every 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.
Except for exercise, what else is vital for young and old athletes alike? Apart from sleep?
Of course, it's nutrition!
Thanks to all the food on our estate being prepared according to bio standards, with vegetables grown our own farm, each child maintains a healthy balance of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates—essential for achieving the highest sports goals:)
In the afternoon, we turn winter into an adventure: We go ice skating at the ice rink, play outside in the snow and, when there is enough snow, of course go sledding. There are also exciting excursions and activities to enjoy together. This way, every winter day is a little different and becomes a special experience.
Come to us, and let's join the trend of furthering this beautiful game, set by the German national team!
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!

Riding Holidays – More Than Just Riding
For us, it’s not just about sitting on a horse. You’ll be actively involved in the daily care: feeding, grooming and saddling are just as much a part of the experience as riding itself, which takes place in the indoor riding arena during winter. This not only builds deep trust, but also creates a special bond with our horses that you won’t forget anytime soon.
With every task, your understanding of these impressive animals grows – their needs, their strengths and their gentle nature. You learn to take responsibility and develop a sense of true teamwork between horse and rider.
Immerse yourself in the world of horses and experience how patience, trust and care create a genuine connection. Whether in the stable, caring for the horses or riding together in the indoor arena – here you’ll find the space to learn, grow and enjoy.
