YOUR WORLD

Know a villager who would love the Concordia Language Villages experience but is not quite ready for an overnight camp? Adventure Day Camp is the answer! Campers are served culturally appropriate lunches (and snacks!) and get to take advantage of all the summer camp activities while rejoining their families in the evenings.

Parents or families who travel for their children to attend often stay close by in one of Bemidji’s hotels, lodges or campgrounds. Lake Bemidji State Park is conveniently located just a few miles from the Concordia Language Villages entrance and is an excellent option for taking advantage of an authentic North Woods experience.

Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Lunch is provided.

Interested in exploring the world without leaving Minnesota? Youth ages 10-14 are invited to join Concordia Languages Villages' Global Ambassadors Day Camp this summer! Spend the week learning about geography, languages, global issues, cultures, and more through fun, interactive activities from around the globe. You might learn to cook a dish from Argentina, play a boardgame from Germany, make a Ukrainian craft, learn how to count in Mandarin, or play Norwegian "floorball." Plus, you'll be learning and exploring alongside students your age who are visiting from China for an English language camp - an incredible opportunity to build friendships across cultures and get to know about another part of the world firsthand! This program will be conducted in English. Lunch and snacks are included.
