Summer Camp Vienna

German Summer School (12-17)

The ActiLingua Summer School offers young people aged 12–17 the chance to learn German and experience Vienna in a way that’s both personal and meaningful.
Our aim is to create an environment where students feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow – both linguistically and personally.

Learning in an International Community

Lessons take place in small, mixed-age international groups.
The focus is on communication and understanding – not on rote learning.
Through conversations, games and shared projects, students discover how natural language learning can be when it happens in a positive atmosphere.

Life on Campus

The ActiLingua Summer School takes place at the Theresianum Austria’s most respected private school, founded by Empress Maria Theresia. The campus offers bright classrooms, comfortable accommodation, a spacious park and a variety of sports facilities. Everything – learning, living, eating, playing – happens in one place, under careful supervision.

After Class: Vienna and Beyond

Afternoons are filled with sports, workshops and small excursions. We show our students the best sides of Vienna – its culture, green spaces and relaxed rhythm.
Evenings often bring time together in the park, shared meals, or group activities that help students connect and unwind.

A Safe and Welcoming Environment

Our team lives on campus with the students.
We know each participant by name, and we make sure everyone feels part of the group. Parents can be confident that their children are not only improving their German but also learning to navigate a new environment with curiosity and respect.
