“Vacanze in Italiano” is back this summer at Il Centro, for two exciting weeks in July!

 The program includes cooking, art, craft, music, sport, outdoor activities, games, and, of course, tons of fun.

The main focus of our students is the continuous development of the Italian language and culture, through our full immersion program.

Children are given the opportunity to advance their vocabulary through various games, songs, and fun outdoor activities. The treats prepared by the children belong to the traditional Italian cuisine: biscotti, pasta, bread, crostatine and pizza, which they enjoy for lunch on Friday.

Purchase or renewal of the ICC Annual Membership is available on line.

***Refund Policy: Membership Fees are non-refundable.
No refunds after the first class. An administration fee of $10.00 will apply to all credits, $25.00 to all refunds.

Description

Join this unique Summer Camp realized in collaboration with the Cinematheque open to youth from 12 to 16. This is a youth lead project, which will offer youth the opportunity of exploring their connection with the Italian language & culture through film-making.

The participants will produce high-quality videos, with extensive professional support and mentorship provided by filmmaker educators. While the Cinematheque’s facilitators will provide technical assistance, the creative process will be driven by the youth. The youth will define the style and the tone of each video. The final videos will not necessary be a polished and glossy product, but an authentic and inspirational work created by young filmmakers. The final videos could be officially screened at ICC, immediately after the camp or during another public event, to show the participants that the ICC values their works and opinions.
