Speak English, grow in confidence, find your own voice – a week of Growth Academy at Wewelsburg castle. Teens aged 13 to 17 work with native-speaker trainers on their strengths, goals and resilience: in discussions, public-speaking exercises and mindfulness workshops, in outdoor challenges around the castle and in a shared community project. The week ends with the group presenting its project at the closing ceremony. Multi-bed rooms with shower and WC, full board, a campfire and barbecue evening and 24/7 supervision included.
The concept
Welcome to the Growth Academy
Growth starts with discovering what is already in you. So the week begins with your own strengths – and builds on them: workshops, team challenges and conversations that actually mean something.
Outside, adventure is waiting: outdoor challenges, nature and shared missions. And because everything happens in English, the language grows too – when you have something to say, you find the words.
The week ends with new friendships, a final presentation and a confidence that travels home.

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.
How are the children accommodated?
In multi-bed rooms at the camp venue, with separate sleeping areas for girls and boys. The LevelUp team stays in the same house all week and is on hand 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.
