Summer Language Camps

Why High School Summer Language Programs?

We are excited to announce another unforgettable summer of immersive language learning! This year, in addition to our popular Arabic camp, we are introducing a Russian Language Camp. The High School Summer Arabic and Russian programs aim to increase the number of students learning, speaking, and teaching critical languages. These programs is an awarded scholarship and completely FREE to students. Our programs provide students with the unique opportunity to dive into the language and culture through interactive lessons, engaging cultural activities, and hands-on experiences. Whether you’re exploring the beauty of traditions or mastering new language skills, you’ll enjoy a summer full of discovery, fun, and connection.
