The long summer holidays of 2026 are here, and with them plenty of time for adventures, new friendships and unforgettable moments. Berlin has the right programme for every age and every interest. At the Galli Theater in Dahlem, the children take to the stage themselves; at the coding course from Train-the-Future in Prenzlauer Berg, they create their own games and little robots; and at the Partylicious girls' camp in Charlottenburg, crafting, dancing and candy days await. If you'd rather swim, tinker or dance, you'll find just the right thing, from an intensive swimming course and a circus holiday to a foreign-language camp by the lake. Creative, sporty or tech-loving, here the summer turns colourful and exciting. Which holiday activity will your kids love the most?
