A whole new world awaits kids ages 4 to 16 who take part in this year’s Italian Language and Culture Camp at Casa Italia. After more than a decade of devotion to the Italian language and culture, Camp Director Josette Mentesana Weber and Language Coordinator Angela Mentesana will be stepping back from day-to-day involvement.

With their blessings, Casa Italia has joined forces with Lago del Bosco, the Italian language camp at Concordia Language Villages in Minnesota. Operated by Concordia University, CLV has hosted overnight language camps for more than half a century, and Lago del Bosco has been a part of CLV since 2003.
