Program

Educational Activities:

  • 20 hours weekly of sports activities;
  • 16 hours weekly of recreational and cultural activities;
  • 8 hours weekly of Italian Language Course.
 

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:

  • Windsurfing or Canoeing School: This will take place at the nearby “Lido Rosa dei Venti” beach establishment, chosen because it is the perfect place to learn or improve windsurfing skills. There will be three weekly sessions where Mr. Rocco and his staff will teach the kids this beautiful sport. All necessary equipment will be provided by the school.
  • Other Sports Activities: Beach volleyball, futsal, beach soccer, tennis, canoeing, basketball, ping pong, mini golf, gym, swimming, trekking. (Suggested sports clothing: swimsuit/board shorts, flip-flops, tennis shoes, 4 pairs of shorts, 4 t-shirts, socks).

Recreational Activities: These activities can also be conducted in English and will be carried out in collaboration with Group Leaders and Activity Leaders. Rich in games, music, and fun, the kids will experience unforgettable days.

Italian Workshop: We have designed this workshop to introduce students to a foreign language through interactive group activities that are playful, theatrical, and musical. 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.

  • 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 environment around you, posting stunning photos on social media? In this Summer Camp, this is possible! The material will be published in a logbook that parents can use to share in their children’s daily experiences.
  • “Invitation to Reading” Workshop: Reading is an activity that enriches knowledge and emotions. During our stays, we launch this project “Take a Book, Bring a Book,” an initiative to circulate and spread books. The goal 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 entertainment team and our Group Leaders. Among the various evenings, we will propose: Show Night, Movie Night, Dance Night, Talent Show, End-of-Camp Party, “Starry Night”, and much more.
