Educational Activities:
Program:
Sport: The philosophy of this type of holiday allows young people to try and evaluate various sports disciplines that will be offered, without focusing on a single specific area, but rather assessing and choosing the best each sport has to offer; of course, while having fun and respecting the general rules that every recreational activity entails. During the camp, young participants will be given the opportunity to improve their technical and physical skills through group work. Each activity is assisted by a proven technical staff, including sports animators and instructors. In addition to a jet ski outing, participants can choose from the following sports:

During their stay, participants will be “busy” preparing a theatrical performance in Italian or engaging in recreational activities in the language. In the afternoons, we will activate the “Channel Plus” program, aimed at improving learning, enhancing listening comprehension, enriching vocabulary, and optimizing grammar by watching a film or stories in Italian divided into various episodes.
In addition to the main program, we will offer workshops with open participation.
