Work to teach English language skills and tutor those in need of help as you embrace the beautiful culture of Italy. This unique program allows you to travel around Italy and explore the country and culture in depth on the weekends, making the most of your free time. All you need to do is volunteer just 20 hours a week, Monday thru Friday tutoring English to an Italian summer camp and provide a fun and creative learning environment.
This is a great program for people who want to experience life in Italy and the Italian culture in-depth. At the same time, you will meet people from around the world and create amazing memories.
The Need: Volunteer 20 hours tutoring conversational English to summer campers. Tutor through games, sports and songs. Tutors learn games and songs during the orientation days. The campers are ages 6-14. Most of them will have a very limited knowledge of English, therefore body language and dynamic activities will be important.
Duties and Responsibilities include:
* Sharing your language with the language camp 15 to 20 hours a week Monday to Friday.
* Using GeoVisions' Bag of Tricks, provide creative, fun and informative language sessions.
* Be on time for camp.
* Manage your own personal expenses (telephone bills, clothing, entertainment and spending money). Less
I was a You Can Camp tutor the summer of 2011. I had a wonderful experience...one that I think of often and wish I could do again. The administration for the program were very helpful, kind and understanding. They are what make this program so enjoyable. They were helpful not only in our teaching duties but also our traveling as well. If you have ever been to another country you know how difficult it can be to find your way around...the You C...

I had an amazing time living and volunteering in Macerata, Italy. Even though I have limited experience with traveling abroad and teaching, Geovisions helped me to feel completely prepared and excited about my trip. The accommodations and staff were wonderful, and the camps were organized and fun. I learned so much about Italian culture, working with others, and traveling independently through the summer camp program. I highly recommend this comp... Read more
Although it may seem like an overused sentiment, but "You Can Camp" was truly life changing.
Everyone who runs the camp is so kind and extremely generous. They truly care about the kids and their future and they go out of their way to make the tutors feel comfortable.
I honestly discovered new things about myself. I had no desire to teach before this camp, and no I am very seriously considering getting a teaching certificate or a master in ... Read more
I recently participated in this program as a volunteer in Eastern Italy. I had am amazing experience that changed my life! Working with the children was challenging at times, but so rewarding. The parents were very appreciative and thrilled their children were learning English from native speakers. All the camp directors were very organized and attentive to details and the curriculum was well planned. I am a junior high teacher in the US and... Read more
This program overall was an incredible experience that I would easily do every summer. Not only do you get to explore a different country but you also get to make a difference and teach children and have fun with them.
Every person throughout this journey has been more than helpful and it made it a very comfortable and rewarding experience. There isn't a thing I would change about my month in Italy except for the amount of time I got to spend ... Read more
Working at the Italian summer camp was nice. I loved the kids and it's given me great experience for my future career. The only thing I wished they did was half way through the experience, ask how your doing, and how it is working with the other volunteers. They asked informally, of course, but this didn't give an opportunity to tell them what was really going on within our teaching groups (between volunteers.)
I recommend this program, just m... Read more
I am so glad that I had the opportunity to be a part of such a unique program. The experience was more than I expected and was lifechanging. I think all of the tutors left a significant impact on the lives of the children at camp and vice versa. I enjoyed meeting new people and being a part of the Italian culture. I would highly recommend this program to someone who loves children and appreciates the Italian culture. Read more
