You grew up going to festivals. Now it's their turn. Six days and five nights by the Werbellinsee, one hour from Berlin, with native-speaker trainers from the UK, the USA and Australia. Teens write and rehearse their own acts in English, join crews for the build-up, and spend their afternoons at the lake and doing sport. On Friday they run the stage at their own festival. Phone-free during the day, with the lake, sport and new friends to fill it. Accommodation, meals, the full programme and 25 hours of English included.
The concept
Welcome to the LevelUp Festival
On day one, every teen picks a role: headliner, crew, stage builder or artist. Every role counts on Friday.
All week they write, rehearse and build the festival in English: music, theatre pieces and shows. Afternoons belong to the lake and to sport.
On Friday the gates open. Families get their wristbands, the acts take the stage, and every teen receives a certificate for their part in the festival.

You’re part of the camp week too
From midweek updates to the festival on Friday – you won't miss a thing.
The festival
On the last day, you're on the guest list. Pick up your wristband, find a spot by the stage and watch the acts: songs, theatre pieces and shows from every group. Cheer for your favourites. The festival starts at 13:00, and pick-up is straight after.
Midweek updates
You don’t have to wait until the last day to see what’s going on — our trainers share photos and stories from camp midweek, so you can follow along with what the group is up to almost live.
Frequently asked questions
My child only speaks a little English – is that a problem?
No. Our trainers run the whole day in English but meet every child at their own level: understanding comes first, and speaking follows once it feels safe. Playing, building and rehearsing together, even quieter kids warm up quickly.
Who looks after the kids?
A LevelUp team of native-speaker trainers from the UK, the USA and Australia runs the programme and stays with the group all week. Midweek we share photos and short updates, and on Friday you are in the audience at the festival.
How are the children accommodated?
In bunk-bed rooms in the resort's Quartier, split by age group and by girls and boys. Juniors and teens sleep in separate rooms. Our team stays on the same floor all week and is there at night too.
What if my child gets homesick?
Our team is around day and night and knows the classic second-evening dip well: closeness, distraction and a full programme usually do the trick. If a child needs more than that, we call you directly and decide together.
How do I register my child?
Right from the booking section on this page – via the booking link or an enquiry. After registering you receive all details on the schedule, packing list and payment.
Can the teens swim in the lake?
Yes. Lake sessions run with Seezeit's lifeguards present.
How do we get there?
Families bring their teens on Sunday between 15:00 and 17:00 and collect them on Friday after the festival, which starts at 13:00. Seezeit-Resort is in Joachimsthal, about an hour's drive from Berlin. There's also an optional meeting point with our team at Berlin Gesundbrunnen.
