Below are some websites for summer German courses. I checked all websites again and some local programs already have waiting lists.
This list is by no means complete, but it might give you some idea of where to start your own search.

Abroad
1)听聽Learning German in Germany
All levels, ages 9 till 21; they even have soccer plus German; one of my students went at age 12 and had a great time. It鈥檚 a very international crowd there and your child needs to be mature.
2)听
From 6 till 17
Children join one of the groups and experience Germany with other German kids. This works if you have relatives in Germany who can take the kids to the train station to join the group. It鈥檚 organized by federal state and what type of activity you want your child to do. Our former principal has been sending her kids every year for probably 10 years. Your child needs to be mature.
