Since 1961, Waldsee’s core curriculum and the program that has defined what Waldsee is all about has been its two-week immersion program. Villagers are introduced to a wide variety of language skills through interactive learning, language games, singing, and real-life situational learning. Recreational activities form a core element of the Waldsee experience. Villagers can choose from Schwimmen (swimming), Fußball (soccer), Tonarbeit (pottery), Malen (painting), Kanufahren (canoeing), Fechten (fencing), Bogenschießen (archery), and many more.

At the root of all these opportunities is the mixture of learning and having fun in the outdoors. Where else can you take a sauna with twenty of your closest friends or learn your prepositions while on a ropes course? At Waldsee, we place a strong emphasis on making German fun and providing a supportive atmosphere that can challenge any type of learner from a beginner to a near-native speaker.
