Summer program 2025: Prieros
Prieros is a little village situated about 1 hour Southeast of Berlin and about 30 minutes from Berlin Brandenburg International Airport. The location between Brandenburg’s lakes and forests will be as inspiring as the work with our coaches with international reputation. Besides the daily work there will be plenty of opportunities for swimming, hiking, barbecuing and enjoying the nature.
In Summer 2025 we are happy to offer a two week program in Prieros, with an option to book either just the first week or the entire two weeks. On the last day of both weeks there will be concerts in the village, with one additional gala concert at Schloß Belvedere auf dem Pfingstberg in Potsdam.
