Product Details
Junior Discovery is a richly rewarding cultural experience full of endless adventures from the Anglo-American world created specifically for 6 to 12 year olds. For many of our campers it is the first experience away from their family and we strive to create a safe and caring atmosphere where they can feel at home, let go and gain a greater feeling of independence.
Full Immersion: language & culture
The camp is run entirely in English and our whole staff is made up of qualified mother tongue counselors. From good morning good night, campers participate in an exciting and educational full-immersion experience. They continually discover new games, activities, food, sports and adventures, all combined to create the classic American summer camp in the magnificent setting of central Italy.
Academic Program
All campers take part in an 18 hour weeklong academic program and can choose from the following options English Lessons – tailored to kids who wish to improve their language skills. Participants are tested upon arrival to evaluate their level of English and placed accordingly into classes of 4 to 6 with qualified mother tongue teachers. Levels are aligned to the Common European Framework and the curriculum, based on Cambridge ESOL, focuses on enhancing speaking, listening, reading and writing. Cultural Discovery – perfect for native speakers or those confident enough with English. Kids who choose the cultural program can learn about the history of the Etruscans, dig for archaeological finds, or discover Italian mythology. Both academic programs are engaging, communicative and complementary to the camp as a whole and serve to build the confidence of young learners as well as provide parents with feedback on their child’s knowledge and participation through an end-of-the-week report.
Sports & Activities
Campers are grouped into teams and compete in various match-ups throughout the week in an action-packed tournament. The spirited lineup provides the perfect setting for teamwork, excitement and cross-cultural communication. Some of the activities include:
- Flag Football
- Softball
- Theatre
- Treasure Hunt,
- Movie Night
- Campfire & much more
