Munich's Feriensport Program: The City's Catalog of School-Holiday Sports Courses

The Official Rule

Munich runs one central catalog for school-holiday sports courses, but it isn’t a single camp you sign up for once, it’s a brochure. Feriensport München is published every year by the city’s Referat für Bildung und Sport, specifically its FreizeitSport (leisure sports) division, and it bundles school-holiday sports courses run by roughly 18 independent partner clubs and private sports schools under one cover. The partner list for the 2026 summer edition includes neighborhood clubs like TSV München-Großhadern and TSV Neuried, specialist schools like Fechtschule München (fencing) and DiveSport München, the DAV’s climbing centers, and dedicated providers like Trampolin.Pro, HIGH FIVE (skateboarding), and Shred Dogs (BMX). This is genuinely distinct from Ferienbetreuung, the general holiday-care programs that exist to cover the gap when school and Hort close: Feriensport is built around the sport itself first, not around all-day childcare, even though a handful of its courses do run full days.

The 2026 summer edition covers Bavaria’s official Sommerferien, which the Bayerisches Kultusministerium sets at Monday, 3 August through Monday, 14 September 2026. The brochure organizes courses into six weekly blocks across that window, and lists around 20 different sports for ages roughly 4 to 17, though nearly every individual course sets its own narrower age band: archery is 8 to 17, sport climbing runs separate tracks from 6 up to 16, diving is 8 to 16, tennis is 6 to 16, and the FAM parkour and trampoline courses split into age-specific groups starting at 4.

Booking never goes through the city itself. For each listing in the brochure, you register and pay directly with that partner, using the phone number, email, or booking link printed next to the course. Some, like the archery and climbing courses, route through the city’s own event portal at veranstaltungen.muenchen.de/rbs/feriensport, while others, like Fechtschule München’s fencing tasters, are booked by a short email directly to the instructor. Payment methods vary just as much: archery is cash on the first day, fencing is invoiced afterward, and most of the private-style operators (Trampolin.Pro, KiBeLino, HIGH FIVE) take online payment at signup.

Prices swing widely depending on the sport and how many hours a day the course runs. A short taster session, like Fechtschule München’s three-day fencing intro or a single Hobby Horsing session, runs 35 to 50 euros. A full week of half-day training, like archery or the ESV Tennis-Pasing course, lands around 50 to 135 euros. A full week of full-day camp with lunch included, like TSV Neuried’s Erlebniscamp or TSV München-Großhadern’s MultiSportCamp, runs 190 to 290 euros, and specialty full-day weeks like FAM’s parkour and trampoline camps or Trampolin.Pro’s cheerleading course go up to 300 to 320 euros. A Münchner Ferienpass isn’t required to register for any of it, but if you already have one, present it on the first day: many individual courses knock 5 to 15 euros off the price for pass holders. Some partners also build in income-based tiers on their own initiative, ESV München’s KiBeLino program prices a five-day week at 196 euros standard, dropping to 71.05 euros with proof of income support and 17.50 euros for families receiving Bürgergeld, Grundsicherung, SGB II, or AsylbLG benefits.

Registration deadlines and group caps are set independently by each partner, not centrally by the city. Fechtschule München’s fencing taster is binding by 25 July for its first two sessions and by 31 August for the later ones, and caps at 15 participants total. TSV Neuried’s Erlebniscamp registration becomes binding the moment you submit its online form, with a cutoff two weeks before the camp starts. Group sizes elsewhere run just as tight: DiveSport’s diving taster takes only 10 people per date, Hobby Horsing caps at 16, and TSV München-Großhadern’s MultiSportCamp limits enrollment to 20 children. There’s no single program-wide deadline you can rely on, so once you’ve picked a course, check that specific partner’s cutoff immediately.

What Real People Say

Munich’s family-life media consistently frames summer holiday planning as a race against demand rather than a leisurely browse. Münchner Wohnen’s own family magazine puts it plainly: many holiday-care offers across the city are in high demand and fill up quickly, so planning early is the practical advice, not an option. The Feriensport brochure’s own group caps back this up in hard numbers, a fencing course with 15 seats or a diving taster with 10 fills fast once a popular week gets circulated among parents.

Munich’s parent-facing lifestyle blogs, meanwhile, tend to lean toward the flashier private multisport camps rather than the city’s own catalog. A widely shared roundup of Munich’s top sports holiday course providers on muenchenmitkind.de (HIMBEER) lists ten independent providers by name and doesn’t mention the city’s Feriensport program at all, even though several of those same providers, like FAM and HIGH FIVE, are themselves Feriensport partners running the exact same courses under both banners. In practice this means the city catalog is often the better-value, lesser-known option sitting right alongside the private camps everyone already knows about, worth checking specifically rather than assuming the flashiest-looking website is the only one running that week’s course.

Step by Step

1. Download the current Feriensport München PDF or browse sport-muenchen.de directly and scan the table of contents for sports your child is actually interested in, rather than reading all 50-plus pages front to back.
2. Note the age range, price, location, and week for two or three candidate courses. Age bands and prices differ course by course even within the same sport.
3. Check that specific partner’s registration deadline and group cap immediately, don’t assume you have until the holidays start. Some courses close weeks in advance.
4. Register and pay directly with the partner, using whatever method they specify: their own website, an event-portal link, a phone call, or a short email.
5. If your child doesn’t yet speak confident German, contact the partner before registering to ask how they’ll handle safety instructions during the course.
6. Bring your Münchner Ferienpass on the first day if you have one, many courses apply a discount on the spot.
7. If your preferred sport isn’t in the brochure, check the Münchner Sportjugend’s Sportangebote-Datenbank for year-round club options instead, the Feriensport brochure itself recommends this.
