Dear Parents/Guardians,

This summer, send your kids off each morning knowing they’ll spend their days learning, exploring and having fun, all right here at Summer Adventure Camp at The International School of Minnesota. All camp activities take place on our beautiful 55-acre campus in Eden Prairie, adjacent to the Three Rivers Park District’s Bryant Lake Park and beach. Fun, creative indoor activities take place in our state-of-the-art learning facility, performing arts center, and swimming pool. Exciting outdoor adventures play out on our nature trails, playgrounds, soccer field, and the neighboring park and lake.

Daily language classes inspire an understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity, expand campers’ global experiences and prepare them to be successful world citizens. This summer, Spanish and French are our featured languages.

Your camper will explore and learn with kids his or her own age in engaging programs designed by educational experts. Experienced, energetic counselors and specialists guide campers as they explore the wonder of culture around the world and here at home.

You can shape your child’s summer experience with flexible programs that fit their interests and your family’s schedule. Call or click today to book their adventure!
