Experience language and culture during the summer months in a fun active environment! We are able to conduct summer camps at any school and in any language.
Our summer language camps focus on communication rather than language form. We adhere to the Natural and Total Physical Response Approaches. In addition to the language, our instructors will expose your student to the history, culture, music, crafts, and outdoor games of the requested designated country. Our language instructors are native speakers, professionally trained, and come highly recommended. These weeks will provide your child with a strong base for future language learning to build upon.
Please check back in late February for information on our 2010 camps.

"Thank you for allowing our daughter to participate in your program this summer. Our daughter really enjoyed the program and learned a lot about the Urdu culture and language. We are very proud of your teachings and our daughter's accomplishments. We know that the things she learned will last her a lifetime and also help her to build relationships in other cultures and in other parts of her life helping her to become a more rounded person and to grow up knowing no prejudices of any kind. Thank you!" - Father of Urdu class participant
"Your camp made me eager to pursue Arabic, as well as soccer! Thank you again for making me trilingual!" - Arabic camp participant
"While in two short weeks, my son could not learn enough to become fluent (of course!) he certainly learned enough to know that he wants to learn more. Since he knows something of both the language and culture and is truly interested, now we just need to find other opportunities for study." - Parent of participant
"I was surprised to find my daughter learning new vocabulary in such a short time. She was able to describe the different body parts, numbers, colors, and greetings in a week. She was singing a song and showing us how to write simple words in Arabic by the second week. I was very impressed. She also enjoyed trying different foods, making new friends and working with different groups." - Parent of Arabic class participant
"I personally am thrilled that my son had this fantastic opportunity at a cost I could afford." - Parent of Persian class participant
"Basically, our son had a wonderful time and learned a great deal. We are very grateful for this opportunity." - Parent
"We feel extremely grateful to have been able to participate in this camp. I never thought my children could learn much Urdu without going abroad. Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! Our instructor was fabulous." - Parent of Urdu class participant
