Educational Activities:
Program: For some time now, after experimenting with various methods for learning the English language, we have adopted a method that satisfies the desires of the kids and the needs of families. We have introduced the “Italian College” method in Italy. This way, young people will have the opportunity to enjoy a fun vacation, learn through the “Full Immersion Italian Language” formula, and have fun practicing various sports under the guidance of teachers and animators. The course will be conducted by a school recognized by competent international bodies. All staff members possess an advanced level of foreign language proficiency and will communicate with the kids in Italian.
Foreign Language Course: Italian. The goal is to facilitate comprehension and encourage conversation. There will be a mid-week assessment and a final test. On the first day, an entrance test will be administered to determine the participant’s level of knowledge. Throughout the day, all activities will be conducted in Italian, giving the kids the chance to practice sports and engage in activities using only the Italian language. Every evening will feature various fun proposals, from a Murder Mystery Dinner to screenings of Italian films, karaoke nights, disco, bingo, or a Rap Song Play-Off to discover rap music talents!
Multi-Sport: The sports we offer aim to improve the technical and physical skills of young participants through teamwork. Each activity is supported by a qualified staff with sports animation instructors. Participants can choose which sports to engage in: Canoeing, Volleyball, Futsal, Tennis, Ping Pong, Mini Golf, Gym, Swimming, and Trekking (Specific clothing to pack: swimsuit/shorts, flip-flops, gym shoes, 4 pairs of shorts, 4 t-shirts, socks, tennis racket).
Recreational Activities: These activities will take place in Italian in collaboration with Group Leaders and Activity Leaders, filled with games, music, and fun, ensuring unforgettable evenings for the kids. In addition to the main program, we will offer 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 the surrounding environment, posting beautiful photos on social media? In this Summer Camp, this is possible! The material will be published in a diary where parents can share their children’s experiences.
“Invitation to Reading” Workshop: Reading enriches knowledge and emotions. During our stays, we launch this project, “Take a Book, Bring a Book,” an initiative to circulate and share books, including in English. The aim of the project is to rekindle the passion for reading and knowledge.
Evening Activities: These will be relaxation and fun activities organized both by the village’s animation team and our Group Leaders. Among various options, we will propose: Show Night, Movie Night, Dance Night, Talent Show, End of Camp Party, “Starry Night,” and much more.
