Program description and what is included

The camp is run entirely in English and our whole staff  is made up of qualified mother tongue instructors and teachers. All of our outdoor sports, activities, training exercises  and traditional classroom lessons are delivered in English. Participants get to work on core language development  while learning valuable outdoor educational skills.

Every day campers will face a new outdoor activity, representing for most a totally new challenge. A briefing session precedes every sport and once properly instructed and fully aware of the safety measures needed to practice the activity safely, our campers get into action and put themselves to the test climbing a vertical rock wall, whitewater rafting, mountain biking through the woods, practicing orienteering to navigate unknown territory, experiencing an amazing overnight trekking expedition, and much more.

In their down time, campers can make use of the pool, play beach volleyball, beach soccer, or simply lounge on the veranda chatting with their new friends.

Description

Alphabet International Camps offers innovative American summer camps in the heart of Italy blending education, culture and adventure for an unforgettable experience.

While always privileging the FUN factor, our summer camps offer a 360-degree learning experience, enabling students to explore their potential. They develop independence, create new friendships, strengthen their communication skills, learn about teamwork, and are encouraged to be open-minded.

Our camps are run entirely in English and guarantee exceptional safety and 100% involvement at all times thanks to a 5:1 student to counselor ratio.

Alphabet Outdoor Exploration is simply the best adventure camp in Italy. Our program is designed to take 12 to 17 years old campers through an endless outdoor sports journey, in direct contact with nature at its wildest.

Participants will acquire lifelong skills working in teams, learning about the environment, practicing orienteering and experiencing an amazing overnight expedition. They will put themselves to the test rock climbing, whitewater rafting, mountain biking through the woods, and much more.

Ultimately they will improve their communication skills and confidence by learning through experiential education, pushing their personal boundaries and exploring their true potential.

The opportunities for personal growth are embedded in everything that we do at Outdoor Exploration.
