GISSV Summer Camp 2024



Open to Everyone Interested in Learning German!
 

Join us this summer for a journey filled with learning, growth, and unforgettable memories.

Enrollment is open to current GISSV families and members of the San Francisco and Mountain View communities. Our summer camps are designed to provide enriching experiences for ages 3 to 14 and offer something special for everyone. From our immersive German pedagogy tailored for the youngest learners, featuring hands-on projects and outdoor activities, to our signature academic German language classes paired with afternoon fun exploring art, music, science, sport, movement and dozens of other enriching themes, there's an adventure waiting for every child.

The camp is scheduled to run from July 1 to August 2, 2024, with no sessions on July 4. Full-day programs are available for preschool, kindergarten, elementary, and middle school students, from 9 am to 4 pm. Half-day options are also offered for preschool and kindergarten attendees, from 9 am to 1 pm. Additionally, morning and afternoon extended care is available if needed.

  • No prior German language required.
  • Intermediate and Advanced level classes are designed to meet the needs of our current students and other children fluent in German.

We also invite high school students who are fluent in German to join us as Counselors in Training (CIT), This unique opportunity allows CITs to not only immerse themselves in our educational environment but also gain valuable teaching experience, professional development, leadership skills, and high school community service hours.

 

Registration will begin on March 12, 2024.
