I really enjoyed working with ‘You Can Camp’! Each day was varied and exciting and I gained a lot of skills while working and playing with the children. This opportunity is a great way to learn more about Italian culture and meet new and like minded people. I hope to volunteer there again!

I am a college student and was looking for an opportunity to expand my skills with people. I can across You Can Camp and applied, the application process was simple and I zoomed with Sara, the owner, she explained the proceed to me and set any worries I had aside. I had the most incredible experience, meeting people I will be friends with for life. The day to day living is impeccable. If you have any issues, someone is always there to help. Do not worry if you have no experience, I did not and the other counsellors as well as the Italian translators are on hand to ensure your day runs as smoothly as possible. All in all the best summer of my life and I highly recommend!

Unforgettable experience

As someone who had the privilege to work at You Can Camp for two incredible weeks, I can wholeheartedly say it was a memorable and exceptional experience. From day one, the staff members welcomed me with warmth and friendliness that is hard to come by. In just a short span of two weeks, these wonderful people turned from colleagues to friends, and eventually, they felt like an extended Italian family, always ready to welcome you with open arms. But what truly made my time at You Can Camp extraordinary were the kids.They are, without exaggeration, the most delightful, spirited, and adorable bunch you could ever meet. The emotional bond that forms between the teachers and these young learners is profound and hard to put into words. It's a connection that transcends language barriers and cultural differences, resulting in something truly special. As my days at the camp drew to a close, the goodbyes were, as expected, tear-filled and emotional. It’s not every day you find a place that leaves such a lasting imprint on your heart. I left with countless memories, a heart full of joy, and a deep appreciation for the unique, nurturing, and joyful environment that You Can Camp creates. It’s more than just a camp, it’s a place where hearts connect, and lifelong memories are made.

What inspired me to go abroad was my love for travel and my love for teaching. I have always been obsessed with travel, ever since I was a kid. I was sure I wanted to go to Italy because I had gone the previous summer but I only got to see Venice, so I wanted another opportunity to see more of Italy.
