Each summer ACLE sends close to 400 native English-speaking tutors to around 290 camps in Italy. Camps are either city-based (City Camps) or residential (Summer Camps). Both types of camp are overseen by an English-speaking Italian camp director. Directors are usually English teachers and, in the case of City Camps, usually work at the host school.
City Camps are usually held at a local schools and the children come five days per week, generally from 9 to 5. Tutors are hosted in either a flat or by a family who opens their home and hearts to them.
Summer Camps are residential and usually held in a hotel where the children come and stay for a week at a time. Tutors also stay at the hotel and work all week with the children, providing activities such as lessons, drama, games, sports and evening activities.
High School Campus is a programme for high school students. As with our other camps, the aim of High School Campus is to provide students with a rich cultural and linguistic experience adapted to their ages, abilities, and interests.
If you’re enthusiastic, positive and dependable, this could be the experience for you!
