A Warm Welcome to You!
Welcome
Dear Parents and Campers,
Whether you are just getting to know us or have been returning to our camp over the years, we would like to extend a kind and warm welcome
to Passport to Summer 2016!
Our campers enjoy a unique summer experience that opens minds to an international and multicultural perspective through a wide range of programs from immersion or intensive language camps, to early childhood explorer camps, to specialty workshops with an international twist.
Washington International School’s Passport to Summer is a safe and nurturing environment, where children’s curiosity
is encouraged, appreciation of other cultures is celebrated and self-confi dence in one’s abilities is supported. A dedicated team of talented educators and staff accompany children and families over the course of their learning journey.
Children from all corners of the globe and all walks of life join us to share a memorable summer experience enriched with friendship, engaging activities and age-appropriate play meant to develop profi ciency in various languages.
All of us look forward to welcoming you to our learning community for an engaging summer full of laughter, discovery and friendship.
