Sleepaway Camp

- For ages 8 to 14 years old -

Summer Camp in Tuscany

Canadian Island’s overnight summer camps provided in English 24 hours a day. Campers, aged 8 to 14 years old, develop new skills while growing and experiencing unforgettable emotions in Toscany’s timeless and natural landscape. At Canadian Island, our campers are in a friendly and safe environment where they are free to express themselves and to be active. At the end of camp they usually say goodbye with a heartfelt hug and are sorry that the adventure is over. Our consolation is that often this is not a farewell but a “see you next year!”.

For a summer that will change your life!

Three farms, one method. Choose the location that best suits your needs, we’ll take care of the rest!
