GRAND HOTEL DEI CESARI
(Language College for Teens)

Educational Activities:

• 20 hours weekly of sports activities;
• 16 hours weekly of recreational and cultural activities;

Program: During the stay, activities will be organized to promote integration, fun, and the acquisition of new specific skills, coordinated and supervised by native-speaking local staff and our group leaders. Activities will be carried out in a jumping way, meaning that students will attend classes in the morning one week and in the afternoon the next week. Consequently, visits and excursions will be scheduled during free time.

• Language Course: For the past 10 years, after experimenting with various methods for learning Italian, we have adopted a formula that meets the desires of the students and the needs of families: the “Italian College.” The course will be conducted by a school recognized by relevant international bodies. An entrance test and a final test will be conducted, the results of which will determine the assessment in grades or evaluations and any level of language proficiency acquired. The assistance staff will also possess a deep knowledge of the Italian language. The course is designed to enhance and develop students’ communication skills and improve their confidence in expressing themselves in a foreign language, aided by specially prepared educational materials. Classes are spacious, modern, and equipped with cutting-edge technology. Upon arrival at the facility, students will undergo a test to evaluate their language proficiency and will be divided into class groups of a maximum of 15 students. At the end of the course, there will be a Diploma Ceremony with a certificate of attendance indicating the period and hours of study. During the stay, the “Global Channel” will be activated to improve learning and optimize listening comprehension, enriching vocabulary through the viewing and listening of films, stories, or music in Italian.
• Recreational Sports Activities: The following sports will be offered: sailing, surfing, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), swimming, beach volleyball, beach soccer, jogging, trekking, and beach rugby. Specific clothing to pack includes swim shorts, flip-flops, soccer shoes, 3 pairs of shorts, 3 t-shirts, socks, mouthguards, and gym shoes.
• Recreational Activities: These activities will be conducted in Italian in collaboration with Group Leaders and Activity Leaders, filled with games, music, and fun, ensuring the kids have unforgettable evenings. Additionally, we will activate workshops with free participation:

• • Basic Photography Workshop: How many times have you used your phone as a camera to capture a beautiful moment, a work of art, or your surroundings, posting amazing photos on social media? At this Summer Camp, this is possible! The material will be published in a logbook where parents can share in their children’s daily activities.
  • “Invitation to Read” Workshop: Reading enriches knowledge and emotions. In our stays, we launch this project “Take a Book, Bring a Book,” an initiative to circulate and share books, including in English. The purpose of the project is to reignite the passion for reading and knowledge.

Evening Activities: Fun and educational activities organized by the staff (e.g., sports games, karaoke, movie nights, quiz nights, challenges, talent shows, theater, treasure hunts, murder mysteries, Carnival Night, end-of-camp party; “Under the Stars” night, city outings). Each week, the following will be organized:

• One sports night (night soccer and tennis) with dinner (pizza or panini);
• One beach night under a starry sky, where we will have dinner with pizza, pizza with Nutella, or some slices of watermelon between games.
