A summer camp is a great place to get fresh ideas, make new friends, and fill up on energy for the coming year. Our summer camps abroad are designed to make the most of your vacation, with a combined academic program, tourism, and creative activities.
Most of our summer camps are very international, regardless of the destination you choose, with students from 30 or more countries all meeting at camp and spending several exciting weeks together.
Less experienced travelers can also choose to attend summer camp with a group from their own country, so they have the reassurance of their own language when they need it.

Going to camp is one of the highlights of many during the holidays. Why not do two things at once by attending a language camp?
