Swedish Language and Culture Immersion Camp

På svenska
June 13-17th

Combine your love of nature and your longing to learn more about your Swedish heritage at this unique Swedish language and culture immersion camp.

In addition to language training on a beginning, intermediate and/or advanced level by experienced and skilled teachers, På svenska offers you a number of exciting learning opportunities.

You will receive instruction in how to cook a number of popular Swedish foods. You will be exposed to modern and not so modern Swedish culture, history, and politics. And of course, you will be challenged to learn all you can about the culture you love.

Delicious Swedish dining, camaraderie, Swedish crafts, guided nature walks in the Audubon sanctuary, a genuinely Swedish midsummer celebration, and social evening programs including lectures, movies, and live music, will make this camp experience one in a life time.

Space is limited. We accept applicants on a first-come, first-served basis.  The cost of the camp is $375 – all-inclusive for the week (food, snacks, lodging-shared room, staff, program supplies).   If you want a single room, please add $55/week to your registration fees and indicate this preference on the registration form.    A $150 nonrefundable deposit must accompany each registration.  Final payment of $225 is due two weeks before beginning of camp.

Save more $$$ sign up early! Early bird savings of $50 is available for those who sign up before April 1st.
