English Immersion Summer Camp in Italy · Ages 10–17
Live and speak English around the clock with native-speaking peers from around the English-speaking world. A genuine 1:1 immersion experience, for 8 days in the heart of Italy.
The summer camp
Speak Teens is a residential English immersion summer camp in Italy for teenagers aged 10 to 17. It takes place at Valbonella, in the heart of the Casentino Forest National Park.
The defining feature is the 1:1 ratio between students and native English speakers — Teen Anglos and Speak staff combined. Every moment of the day is shared with a Teen Anglo — meals, activities, excursions, One-to-One sessions and evening events — building real confidence in spoken English naturally.

Each camp lasts 8 days and 7 nights on a full-board basis, with exclusive use of the venue.

Full immersion
A week where English is the language you live in — from breakfast with your Anglo to the evening activity, every interaction counts.
Every day, every student has a dedicated session with a Teen Anglo — just the two of them, no audience, no pressure. The Anglo rotates daily, so students connect with different accents and personalities from across the English-speaking world.
Interactive outdoor lessons in small groups with qualified native-speaking TEFL teachers prepare students for their One-to-One sessions and build the language skills they use all day.
Teen Anglos share every part of the day with students — sport, games, workshops, excursions and meals together. Conversations happen naturally, in English, all day long.
Growth and friendships
Language confidence is just the beginning. A week living, eating and exploring with peers from ten-plus countries leaves a mark that goes well beyond English.
Speaking to a different native-speaker every day builds the kind of fluency that a classroom never can. By the end of the week, talking in English feels normal.
Shared adventures with teenagers from around the English-speaking world create friendships that last. Many students stay in touch with their Anglos long after camp ends.
Living away from home and succeeding in a second language builds resilience. Parents consistently notice the difference within days of their child returning.
The location
In the heart of the Apennino tosco-romagnolo, surrounded by nature, on the edge of the Casentino Forest National Park.
Natural and synthetic sports pitches, a swimming pool, an astronomy platform, a botanical garden, en-suite multi-bed rooms and a spacious restaurant serving the best of local cuisine. For the full duration of the camp the venue is for the exclusive use of Speak Teens.
