The German camp where no German is spoken
Our son did a German camp with Alpadia in summer 2024. Despite the camp being held in Germany, none of the staff were German and some of them had no german whatsoever. My son spoke better German than the staff. Other than the 3 hours of lessons a day, the camp was conducted in English, with no attempt by the assistants and staff to encourage german. The camp was also very bad value. The kids went out on organised trips everyday and consistently missed dinner time at the school. There was no question of dinner time being arranged to fit in with the students timetable. I could continue with plenty of other negatives. However, the main one is that a “language school” would market a German camp where no German is spoken and none if the staff, with the exception of the teacher, can speak German. Unbelievable.
