What a way to spend my summer!!

This experience was one to never be forgotten. Being able to be such a blessing and impact to the kids at the camps will stay in my heart forever. While in Italy, I had the opportunity to travel from one of the most southern parts of Italy (Sicily) all the way to Milano. Being able to be immersed in the culture and the way of living is unforgettable. As a tutor being hosted in the families houses, I found it absolutely astonishing to LIVE with the Italians and be able to be part of their family. Everyone is so welcoming and want you to feel at home and like their own child. I would say I even picked up the Italian language which was truly an experience of its own.

I would say related to the camps, the work you're expected to do was nothing I ever thought of. For example, you are expected to "teach" an hour to three hours of lessons to kids per day depending on the length of the camp. I had never had any teaching experience and being put in this position was a bit hard at the start but all I can say is by the end I got the hang of it and was enjoying it to its fullest.

Pay is the same regardless of the size of your camp. So for example one week I had a camp of 130 kids but then the other week was 13 kids. Honestly, I wasn't there for the pay though. The kids are such a blast and it is very interesting to see the different personalities comparing the south of Italy to the North.

One of my favorite parts would FOR SURE be the training week though. That was a community I will NEVER forget. Also, just the amount of people I met and connected with was truly, truly a blessing.

I would do this 100x again. I recommend it all the way.
