Experience Italy Without Ever Leaving Portland
Summer camps at Scuola Italiana provide memorable Italian adventures through language, culture, cuisine, art, music and more. Camps are available for children ages 3- to 12- years-old. All camps are tailored to the age and language experience of the children; although, no prior Italian language experience is necessary.
After-camp care is available for children who need full-day care. Our after-care partner, The Art Cubby, offers discounted child care for participants in our camps and classes. We will safely deliver your child at the end of each day of camp. The Art Cubby is a Reggio Emilia influenced art program located two blocks from our NW location and serves as our preschools’ after-care provider.
