Discover Berlin and make the most of your summer with a German study program by the lake!
The Verbalists Language Network is famous for its young learner programs, which are designed and coordinated with the world’s best language schools in such a way as to extend language learning beyond a classroom setting.
The Berlin Water Sports program is action packed and designed for 12-16 year old students. It provides young learners with an opportunity to practice German during a great variety of outdoor and indoor activities – sailing, canoeing, surfing, barbecuing, biking, climbing walls, playing sports… That’s not all! In the camp, our students will meet German teenagers who often participate in the activities, so there will also be lots of opportunities to speak German in informal settings with native speakers of the same age group. And Berlin is not far away, so every week there are 2 excursions to Berlin. READ MORE
