Frequently Asked Questions – Vienna Kids
What parents ask us
Where exactly is the camp taking place?
The camp takes place on the campus of the Theresianische Akademie in Vienna. Lessons, accommodation, meals and a wide range of activities are all based directly on the campus grounds. The Belvedere Gardens are just round the corner, and Vienna city centre is also within easy reach.
What is the difference between 20 and 30 lessons per week?
Course 20 comprises 20 lessons per week (Mon–Fri, 09:00–12:20). Course 30 offers 30 lessons (09:00–12:20 + 13:30–15:00) and is ideal for faster progress or preparation for the ÖSD certificate. The leisure programme is the same for both options.
When can my child start?
Fixed start dates: 4 July (= 2, 3, 4 or 5 weeks), 18 July (= 2 or 3 weeks), 25 July (= 2 weeks), 1 August 2027 (= 1 week). Beginners with no prior knowledge start on 4 July or 18 July 2027.
Is it possible to book for just one week?
Yes, it is possible to take part for one week, but only on the final start date of 1 August 2027. For all other start dates, the minimum stay is two weeks.
Is there also a day camp without an overnight stay?
Yes – for families who already live in Vienna or have their own accommodation, there is a day camp programme. It includes German lessons (20 or 30 lessons per week), lunch on request, supervised afternoon activities until 6.00 pm, and, optionally, dinner until 7.30 pm – all on the same historic palace campus. Prices for the day camp are available on request.
What is the ÖSD certificate, and is it worth it?
The ÖSD (Austrian German Language Diploma) is an internationally recognised German language examination – recognised by universities, public authorities and employers in many countries. Young people aged 16 and over can take the B1 or B2 exam. The preparation course costs €150 for 6 teaching units; examination fees range from €160 to €350, depending on the level.
What is the difference between Standard and Superior rooms?
Standard accommodation consists of 4–6-bed rooms with shared showers and toilets in the corridor. Superior accommodation offers 2–4-bed rooms with en-suite bathroom and shower – at an additional cost of approximately €128 per week.
How does my child get to Vienna?
Vienna International Airport (VIE) is easily accessible. Transfer service: €60 one way, €120 return. From the main railway station: €60 one way. Transfer fees for unaccompanied minors (UM): €130 (09:00–17:00) or €160 (17:00–09:00).
