Kids Camp 2024
Casa Italia is proud to present
a whole new world of learning and fun at our
2024 Italian Language and Culture Camp
June 17 – 21 and June 24 – 28
If you want to send your kids to Italy this summer while keeping them close to home, Casa Italia has the summer camp for you! Our camp introduces children ages 5-12 to the best Italy has to offer through a wide range of activities on our beautiful and secure grounds.
Our campers will spend two full weeks immersed in the language and culture of Italy through games, songs, sports, skits, cooking, and formal and informal lessons. They’ll finish their adventure speaking and thinking a little more like an Italian than when they started!
Our director, Raffaella Spilotro, is a gifted Italian-language instructorwith nearly 20 years of experience on the high school level. Our certified teachers have also been recruited from the ranks of local HS language programs and will be assisted by a team of enthusiastic and talented students drawn from upper-level Italian classes.
Our camp runs Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Fees cover a nutritious lunch, snacks throughout the day and a complimentary T-shirt. Extended hours are available for an additional fee. The camp concludes with a performance by the children and a family picnic luncheon.
We look forward to taking your child on a magical Italian adventure this summer. Andiamo!
