My daughter came back very enthusiastic. This experience has allowed her to grow in independence, self-confidence and English. She also had a lot of fun. See you next year!
Giulia went to camp for the first time this summer. She came back enriched by her wonderful experience: she cried with nostalgia because she missed her friends and camp counselors so much. She studied English with constancy, had fun, was able to understand what it means to be part of a team, and develop new friendships. All in a spectacular environment, at a beautiful structure, surrounded by untouched nature. Lots of English, great food, lots of sports, nature and fun. Thanks Philip, thanks guys, see you next year!
My son is a veteran…this is his fourth year… minimum two weeks and he is never tired of it!!! Thanks summer camp! And thanks to the whole staff… a special thanks to Sean and Stiles!!!
I wanted to let you know that the week at camp for Silvia and Ettore was a highly formative experience. In their own ways, both have come back with great memories. A thank you to the Fun Leaders that were pleasant and engaging. Silvia said that she wants to live in America because “everything is nicer there” and Ettore said that “next year it’s obvious I’m going back to camp”.
Thanks for everything! Thanks again to the counselors and the whole staff. Giulio said that he had so much fun, ate wonderfully and learned so many new things. The teachers were super nice and always ready to help and the location was fantastic! Thanks!
