Italian Summer Camp 2025 for Children in Manhattan
We are ready to spend the summer with your child(ren)!
Let’s discover the beauty of Italy and Italian culture through fun and educational activities!
This is a bilingual camp; no prior knowledge is required as we will alternate languages when needed.
Who said that one cannot learn while having a good time? Let’s make friends, discover Italy, and learn together! We are a team of professional instructors who are passionate and dedicated to teaching and who believe that a new adventure should always start from a safe space where every child can be him/herself
REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!
JUNE 23 TO AUGUST 29
WHY US?
Our teaching method is anchored in the Common European Framework of Reference and is driven by an educational method that is the result of a decade of experience in the field. The program is designed to actively involve our little students using a wide variety of learning tools to ensure the children have fun while learning through discovery and creativity.
WHAT WE DO
We encourage to experiment with the Italian language through a wide range of engaging activities and start speaking Italian in a very natural way through a multi-sensory and interactive approach. Everything is introduced gradually to meet all children’s needs. Weather permitting, we will also go to the park to play and enjoy the sun for about 45 minutes.
OUR PROGRAM
The theme of our In-Person Summer Program 2025 is our bellissima Italia.
Your child(ren) will participate in a unique experience inspired by the discovery of Italian Culture and Language through a variety of activities: every week is a new theme!
It is a 10 week program (June 23rd to August 29th - **No class on July 4th) with two age groups:
Group A: 4-6 yo and Group B: 7-10 yo.
Children will be placed in groups according to their age only during their daily language activity unless the groups can work together on a project.
