A DAY AT SUMMER CAMP

Throughout their stay the children experience a genuine cultural atmosphere that enables them to learn about all aspects of Italian life.

GOOD MORNING!

After a hearty breakfast the morning is spent on excursions into the Park led by guides and instructors (9 am)
Lunch is at 12.15.
LA CASA IN BOSCO offers children a particularly healthy diet based mainly on local products. All meals are nourishing and plentiful, and are freshly prepared.
NOT JUST SPAGHETTI: if required, we can also cater for special diets.

The afternoon is happily spent competing in an archery contest or in a game of “palla prigioniera”*, stopping only to enjoy a delicious teatime snack! (4 p.m.)
In the evening, supper (7 p.m.) is a good time to chat to new friends about the first delicious Italian dishes!
The day ends with everyone singing lovely songs (9-10 p.m. depending on age). There might even be a chance for a walk to look at the starry night!

GOOD NIGHT!

 
*A game where players hit by the ball become prisoners of the opposite team.
 
 
 
  THE PROGRAMME OF ACTIVITIES IS PARTICULARLY CAREFULLY PLANNED AND INTERESTING:
it ranges from spring-tracking, retracing a stream armed with rucksack, torch and boots to discover its spring, to building tree houses using trunks and branches found in the woods, “archeogames”, namely the study and discovery of how early man lived using workshops and themed games.
The children can also gather clay along the banks of the stream.
 
In addition, we go on mini-hunts to capture small animals that help children learn more about the fauna in the park, follow the tracks left by the animals in the woods, and also play hunt the leaf, a game that allows children to learn to recognise the trees and plants growing in the valley.
Then there are the sports activities, which range from archery to outdoor sports involving games like tug-of-war, relay race, endurance competitions.
Considerable time is set aside for creative and expressive activities (photography, crosswords, puzzles, drawing, theatre).
