A week at wizard school in Baden-Württemberg: at the Academy of Magic in Leibertingen, children aged 8 to 13 dive into a magical English-speaking world – with a Sorting Ceremony, house competitions, wand design, flying games and magical challenges. English is spoken throughout the camp week, guided by native-speaker trainers.
The concept
Welcome to the Academy of Magic
On day one the Sorting Hat speaks: every camper is given a house, a team and a place in the Academy. From that moment the battle for the House Cup is on – and campers become students of magic.
Mornings are for Magical Classes: English through potions, spells and magical puzzles with our native-speaker trainer team. Afternoons belong to the houses – Flying Games, magical creatures, the Wizard Tournament. In between come the moments that last, from the magical quiz to the big closing celebration.
At the end of the week every camper heads home with a hand-crafted wand, a certificate and a new confidence in English.

You’re part of the camp week too
From midweek updates to the big Final Presentation — you won’t miss a thing.
The Final Presentation
On the last day, you’re warmly invited to watch the campers show off what they’ve built over the week — from magical short films to adventure journals, from businesses they’ve launched to the final dance ensemble. Standing up and presenting in English is often the moment their new confidence really shows. Ceremony, snacks and a certificate for every camper included.
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 and international trainers runs the programme and stays with the group throughout the camp week. Midweek we share photos and short updates, and you are warmly invited to the final presentation on the last day.
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.
