Our destination in the Tuscan hillsides, which have inspired travellers and artists for centuries, add an additional layer of magic!
Why to choose Canadian Island
SAFETY
The teachers / campers ratio is 1 to 6.
The campers are divided into groups by age and all the activities are carried out in small groups to ensure maximum assistance to all.
Small groups division mean our instructors can focus on leading challenging and engaging classes while camp counsellors care for overall wellbeing.
CULTURAL ENVIROMENT
Tuscany was and is a region famous for its contribution to the arts (from Renaissance artists like Michelanglo and Botticelli to writers such as Dante or modern cinema favourites in the form of Roberto Benigni).
Our campers take part in language classes, excursions to historical sites and world-famous museums, art and theatre workshops, field trips to local farms or beaches and traditional Italian cooking workshops.
They also have the chance to mix with local Italian students at camp, helping to improve language acquisition and increase cultural awareness.

Children have the chance to taste the best of the world-famous Italian food.
Young people everywhere have the power to be the best version of themselves… Our job is to guide them on their journey
