This summer the GAI will be offering four "camp-style" courses for children aged 6-12. Each session will focus on a different theme and incorporate highly interactive, fun activities to help your child build his or her German language skills.
Beginners to bi-lingual children welcome, as activities will be developed according to group ability levels.
The $150 enrollment fee ($140 for GAI members) includes all materials, costs, and daily healthy snacks. Camp held each day 9:00am - 12:00pm.
