Living the language for over 50 years!

Village Location

The Danish Language Village is culturally and architecturally authentic, surrounded by the North Woods on Turtle River Lake near Bemidji, Minn.

Every day is like a new adventure abroad

Participants become "villagers" and live in the language and culture from the moment they wake up to the close of the day.
