What are SCC/ESC/BS?

Summer City Camp

The Summer City Camp (SCC) is organized by the “Associazione Culturale Alice in Città” in primary schools during the summer vacations in June and gives children the opportunity to learn English from mother-tongue tutors.
Our association has been responsible for the organization of summer camps since 2010, not only in Italian cities but also in Spain.

Through sports, art and drama activities carried out in english, children have the opportunity to learn english whilst playing and working in groups and making new friends!

The Summer City Camp’s daily schedule includes the following activities:

  • English lessons wich include games, songs, poems and storytelling
  • Workshops where children learn through arts and crafts, music, writing and other creative activities
  • Sport and mini-tournaments targeted at children of different ages
  • Preparation for a final show including drama, making scenery and costumes, learning songs and dances
  • School trips: during the camp one or two school trips (to the swimming pool or other sport centers, children’s museums or parks…) are organized.
Activities are organized in small groups of 10-12 children and each group is assigned to a mother-tongue tutor. Each camp is coordinated by Italian staff and supervised by the organization at all times.

Children attend the Summer City Camp monday to friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The working day for the tutors and the Italian staff is from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., including breaks and a daily staff meeting.
