Dutch in Bruges | Ages 8-17 | Summer Camp

Several options are offered:

Dutch & Culture: the most intensive option with 3 Dutch lessons per day with particular focus on oral communication alongside excursions to the coast/Bruges and sports, leisure & evening activities. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn all about Flanders and Belgian culture in general while improving your Dutch skills.

Dutch & Sports: 3 Dutch lessons per day plus 10 hours of your chosen activity per week. Activities are taught and monitored by professional Flemish instructors. Also includes evening activities.

• Dutch & Tennis: Tennis lessons are held at established sports clubs in the area – Brughia TC (Bruges) or Centre Laguna de Heist (Knokke). Both clubs have indoor tennis courts in case of bad weather.
• Dutch & Multisports: includes hockey, basketball, table-tennis, squash, football, beach volleyball and kayak lessons, weather permitting and depending on each group’s preferences.
• Dutch & Horse Riding: Lessons are held at De Blauwe Zaal, one of Belgium’s biggest riding schools. The school has two indoor riding areas and around 100 horses.
• Dutch & Windsurfing: Windsurfing lessons are held at the VVW Water Sports Club in Bruges. Groups of 8-10 students. All materials (surfboard, life jacket) are provided. To participate, students must provide a swimming certificate or be able to swim 100 metres.

Option activity duration: 2 hours every afternoon Monday to Friday.

• Combo Course: students who want to stay for several weeks while changing afternoon activities can try our Combo Course (for example one-week Dutch & Culture course followed by a one-week Dutch & Sports course). Just make a note to specify your required Combo Course on the booking form.

• Dutch exams preparation. This personalized programme includes 5 Dutch lessons per day (3 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon). only available from August 11 to August 24 (one or two weeks)

This option is ideal for :

• Preparing for an entrance exam
• Handing in a Dutch coursework
• Working on frequently occurring problems
• Preparing for a language level upgrade

This preparation can really make all the difference ! From the lessons review programme given by the student’s regular teacher (to send us prior to the course) a tutor will determine all the points and insights that need to be developed so as to work out a personalized programme every morning. The reviewed subject is then studied and tested on a daily basis and before the evening meal.

Please note : some activity options are only available at specific dates. See Dates & Prices tab for details.

Every evening, organised and coached activities are offered to the participants (films, bowling, games without frontiers, table tennis, pools, table-soccer, etc.). Younger students are coached by bilingual teachers who can also communicate with them in their mother tongue, if necessary.
