Be a Language Camp Counselor in Southern Germany (Bavaria)

Working at Leolingo summer 2025 was a pleasure, the kids were always exciting, programming was well thought out, locations were always new and exciting, so much fun! Week long intensive training to help everyone learn the programming, games and activities so you’re well prepared for the job and working with the supervisors Paul and Nick is such a pleasure! They know what they’re doing!!

If you're at all curious about the program and on the fence about applying — just do it! Like past counselors have shared in previous reviews, the team and collaborative environment at LEOlingo is truly unforgettable. Working with colleagues from England, Ireland, and Canada means there's always something new to learn culturally and fun to be had. The other counselors' positive, enthusiastic, and dedicated attitude is truly infectious in the best way; when in doubt, I always had a solid team to rely on that was happy to help. Plus, I got to travel extensively during my one-week vacation and the weekends with fellow counselors who were just as enthusiastic about exploring Germany and its neighboring countries as I was. During the day-to-day camp life, I learned many different camp songs and games that still come in handy, working in a school environment. Despite all the work that goes into creating the best camp environment for the kids — leading high-energy activities for 7 hours a day — it never got overwhelming or boring thanks to the amazing, close-knit team. Andrea is a fantastic boss as well: encouraging, understanding, organized, flexible, and honest. Ultimately, I felt very welcome, gained vital leadership skills (and plenty of cool stories to share), and learned a lot about working with kids. I'd highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in growing personally and professionally, creating meaningful friendships, and making memories that last a lifetime.

Hello! Im Amy from NYC. I’ve had the incredible opportunity to be part of LEOlingo English Camp not just once, but twice—first in 2021 and again this past year, 2025—and both experiences have been unforgettable. Andrea is truly the best boss you could ask for—always supportive, encouraging, and genuinely caring about both the staff and the kids. Southern Bavaria is lovely, and each camp is set in beautiful locations that it almost feels like a dream to be there every day. I loved the flexibility of the schedule, which gave me the chance to explore the region and even travel while working. The kids are awesome, they’re full of energy, curiosity, and laughter, which makes teaching English so much fun. Beyond the campers, one of the highlights for me has been the people I’ve met and the friendships formed with fellow counsellors. Spending time together, whether planning activities, sharing meals, or just hanging out in the evenings—created a real sense of family. I can say without a doubt that I would go back again, and I’m already planning to be part of it next year. It’s truly an experience that stays with you long after the camp ends.
