Language and Sports Camp Regen
At the international Language & Sports Camp in Regen we value language acquisition as much as we value sports activities. Innovative and creative teaching concepts are combined with a monumental sports and outdoor programme. Our international mother tongue camp staff ensure that you are well looked after and help you pick up the language during and after class - without even noticing.
The international Language & Sports Camp Regen is located at the southern foothills of the Bavarian Forest, a stone’s throw away from the local national park. Not only is this camp perfectly equipped for exciting sports and free time activities, its location also offers the opportunities to spend thrilling day trips in the Bavarian capital or the beautiful surrounding landscapes. While attending camp, you will either be accommodated at the “ARBERLAND Akademie”, where 2 to 4 participants share a room, at the “BLSV Sportcamp”, where 2 – 6 participants share a room, or even at one of the camp’s spacious 12 bed block houses. Each house is equipped with its own bathroom and shower as well as a common room. All across camp you will find great sports and free time facilities, such as billard tables, foosball tables or Air Hockey. At our BBQ area we will spend relaxed evenings with the whole group.
As we offer full board to our students, you will begin the day with a healthy breakfast. You can choose what you would like to eat from a buffet. At noon everybody will have lunch together, before the afternoon activities begin. There will always be a hot meal for lunch or dinner and we invite you to fill your plate with food from the buffet. However, depending on the activity programme of the day, you may be invited to pack some lunch to take with you. Drinks and fruit are always available for everybody. We believe you know best what food you need to make it through the day.
And, of course, we are not ignorant to special diets. Please let us know in your application whether you are a vegetarian, a vegan or have any other dietary requirement. We will do our best to accommodate your preferences and cater for your individual needs.
We see to it that the nationalities in each house are very diverse, so that you are able to speak German or English all the time and learn to master the challenges that the daily life on camp has in store for you. Nonetheless, when you arrive with a friend, we will allow the two of you to be accommodated in the same accommodation.

In addition to the standard language course on camp, you may book a Goethe-course. Over the course of two weeks you will take 10 additional German lessons in order to prepare you for the exam “Fit in Deutsch 1” (A1 – A2) by the Goethe-Institut. The certificate you receive is globally recognised and will be sent to you by mail 3 weeks after the exam takes place. This is due to the exams being graded at one of the Goehte Centres. In order to attend the Goethe-course, you should have been learning German for at least one year.
To give you a SAMPLE of what one week at Camp Regen may look like, we provide you with this Camp Regen Sample Programme.
Please note: This document does not represent the actual programme. It may not take place in this fashion definitely. Many circumstances may lead to the programme being altered or certain activities being swapped or dropped alltogether. You will receive the final programme schedule after having enrolled for camp.
Arrivals at the International Language & Sports in Regen always take place on Sundays. Departures always take place on Saturdays. Your parents will either bring you to the camp site by car, or you will travel by plane to Munich, or by train to Regen station. If you arrive or depart by plane, we recommend that you book our transfer service to/from Regen at right when you make your camp reservation. Transfer service ensures that you will be picked up and taken to camp, so that you won’t need to worry about anything.
If you arrive in Regen by train, transfer service is included. If, due to your age, you have booked a UM service (UM = Unaccompanied Minor) with your airline, you also have to book our UM service accordingly – in addition to our general transfer service. This is necessary as handling unaccompanied minors at the airport is more complicated and time-consuming.
Please arrange your arrival and departure in a way that you arrive at the airport between 10:00 AM and 04:00 PM on arrival day and depart between 12:00 noon and 04:00 PM on departure day.
All free time activities on camp are put together by our experienced team of camp supervisors. They are in charge of all activities and provide guidance and supervision. It won't get boring on camp.
Our camp staff can rely on its long-time experience. They know which activities will be the most exciting and enjoyable.
Our teamers are always approachable. And we can guarantee that there are enough teamers on camp that no student or their needs will be overlooked.
We guarantee as well that the ratio of participants' numbers to camp staff is well balanced. The supervisor-participant ratio of 1:8 (free time) and 1:12 (language course) is keenly observed.

What your forerunners have to say
"When we went canoeing, I was a bit shy at first. But the teamers encouraged me and it was actually very nice! It was great to paddle along the river with all the others. It was like going on a real adventure."
„The variety of sports activities was huge! I could try something new every day. Even though I never did many of those sports before, it was great to give each of them a try.“
