ACLE summer 2019

I can honestly say my past summer working for ACLE was the best summer ever! I met such amazing people from all over the world and stayed with such beautiful, welcoming families. The job itself was so fun and I loved working with the kids! Orientation was fun and showed you what was expected when we left to go to camp. I stayed in many different areas throughout Italy and got a very authentic experience as I was hosted by itlaian families. You work in a camp for either one or two weeks teaching a your set class mostly using games, books, drawing and activity books. Activities are planned in the afternoons with the other classes all together which are always pretty fun.I was wondering going over how I would manage with no itlaian but it works well, usually (only one of my camps didn't) you have a helper who speaks both Italian and English so they help out if the kids are very confused. The kids I had were adorable and loved the camps.
It exceeded all my expectations!! This is a fantastic opportunity and I can't recommend more, but I would say you'd only enjoy it if you loved children, are an outgoing person and well able to talk to new people!
