A Skillcation is the modern fusion of intensive learning (Skill) and an inspiring getaway (Vacation). Instead of traditional lectures in a sterile seminar room, you learn through hands-on practice in an inspiring environment. The concept is built on three pillars: • The Skill Trail: Upon booking, you start with digital preparation (e-learning) so that no time is wasted on basics once you arrive. • The Basecamp: A dedicated local hub that serves as a studio, workshop, or lab – this is the home base for theory, exchange, and community. • Real-World Practice: You work closely with experts and apply what you've learned immediately, all while enjoying the freedom of a trip. In short: You return home with a new skill, not just vacation photos.

Bookings are made directly through our website. After completing your booking, you will immediately receive a confirmation and access to the corresponding e-learning module. We will send you all further details regarding preparation, arrival, and the schedule via email before the Skillcation.

Our Skillcations are designed to benefit both beginners and advanced participants alike. No specific prior experience is required, as the theoretical preparation in our digital Skill Trail ensures everyone starts with a solid foundation. Once on-site, the workshops are individually adapted to each participant's level, allowing everyone to progress at their own pace.

Accommodation is not included in the Skillcation and is intentionally booked separately. This ensures you maintain full flexibility regarding your budget, comfort level, and duration of stay. Our Basecamp serves as the central point of orientation for your planning: This fixed location is listed directly on the product page and serves as the home base for theory, exchange, and the local community. We recommend choosing your accommodation specifically near this hub. This allows you to efficiently narrow down your search on common booking platforms to the area surrounding the Basecamp.

Arrival and departure are your own responsibility and are not included in the Skillcation price. This allows you flexibility in choosing your mode of transport, departure times, and travel budget. After booking, you will receive all relevant information about the venue, including the exact address, recommended arrival times, and directions for getting there from the nearest airport or train station. In addition, we share tried-and-tested options for public transport, transfers, and – where appropriate – carpooling with other participants. This ensures a smooth and predictable journey.

Our partners plan the workshops to ensure they can be conducted even under changeable conditions – either through weatherproof routes, flexible daily schedules, or alternative programs. Should a program item be impossible for safety reasons, the trainer will provide a suitable alternative.

The groups are deliberately kept small, usually between 6 and 10 people. This creates a personal atmosphere, enables intensive learning, and ensures that each participant can receive individual support.

Since MySkillcation offers recreational activities with a specific date or period, there is no statutory right of withdrawal according to Section 312g (2) No. 9 BGB (German Civil Code). Your booking is therefore binding upon completion. ​ However, we allow you to cancel your booking before the start of the Skillcation. Cancellations must be submitted in writing (e.g., via email). The cancellation fees are based on the time of receipt of your notice: • Up to 30 days before the start: 20% of the participation fee • Up to 14 days before the start: 50% of the participation fee • Less than 14 days before the start: 100% of the participation fee Should you nevertheless be unable to attend, please contact us as soon as possible. We will examine possible solutions on a case-by-case basis, such as rescheduling or nominating a substitute participant.
