A week of stage, song and choreography – in English, in the Siebengebirge hills above the Rhine. At Spotlight Academy: Musical, teens aged 10 to 16 train acting, singing and dance with native-speaker trainers and performing arts professionals and build a complete musical in five days. Friday brings the big “LevelUp Musical” show for the families. Accommodation at the JUFA Hotel Königswinter, full board and 24/7 supervision included.

The concept

Welcome to the stage

Singing, dance and acting – this is the week it all comes together. It starts with vocal workshops, acting exercises and choreography: everyone finds their own stage identity.

Every rehearsal, every improv game, every harmony builds towards one goal: the big musical show on the final day, open to parents and family. English is simply the language of the ensemble.

What remains: stage presence, real friendships – and a confidence that travels home.

  • Day one: the ensemble at the “Welcome LevelUp Actors” board
  • Improv workshop – slipping into a new character in seconds
  • Performing for the group – the week is full of small stages

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.
