Discover Hamburg – in English. At the City Day Camp at the Goldbekhaus in Winterhude, children aged 7 to 13 spend their holiday week with native-speaker trainers, daily from 9:00 to 16:00. Mornings are creative workshops building the weekly project (film, theatre or music); afternoons bring city adventures like bowling, swimming at Naturbad Stadtparksee and a Pirates Adventure. Friday: a scavenger hunt across Hamburg, presentations and certificates. Snacks and water are provided; children bring their own packed lunch.

The concept

Halloween at the City Daycamp

During the October half term, we bring a spooky Halloween twist to our LevelUp Day Camps. Children design and build their own Halloween costumes, take part in trick-or-treating workshops (emphasis on the tricks!), play Zombie Tag in full make-up, and participate in the Monster Race, an escape-room-style challenge against the clock and against the monsters. We'll even be drawing on English Halloween traditions of our own – the witches' songs of William Shakespeare, and making pagan masks to ward off the bad spirits.

The week ends in the final presentations, where children present their theatre plays, films or songs – all spooky themed, of course. In between there are trips out to the park and the pool, a haunted scavenger hunt through the city, and an afternoon of face paint.

This is what LevelUp feels like: real moments from our camps – from workshops to excursions.

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 does a camp day look like?

Mornings start with interactive English sessions; afternoons are for projects, games and challenges – all in English, all supervised. Exact drop-off and pick-up times come with your registration confirmation.

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.
