Our summer camps embody the principles of our Waldorf/Forest education-inspired school, namely:

• We look to nature and our local environment to be one of our principal teachers
• We strive to develop the whole child - socially, emotionally, physically, spiritually and academically
• We take a holistic approach to learning, teaching and living
• We emphasise working together as a community, with the children learning life skills but not leaving behind imagination and storytelling.

We had such a beautiful experience at VFS Summer School. Our children absolutely loved it and really, truly never wanted to leave!

Aside from our Waldorf/Forest School camp ethos, with emphasis placed on spending time outdoors and exploring nature imaginatively and artistically, parents tell us they choose our summer camps because:

• Your children will be immersed in Waldorf/Forest School camp ethos, with emphasis placed on spending time outdoors and exploring nature imaginatively and artistically.
• Your children will spend time in our beautiful camp location, free from toxins, EMFs and chemicals, situated in our secluded valley of vines, forest, fields and garden, all nestled in the rolling hills of Monferrato, Italy.
• Your children will be in excellent hands with our experienced VFS teachers, together with professional specialists from all over the world.
• Your children will benefit from the opportunity to spend time with families and teachers from different cultures and backgrounds. During our 2024 summer camp, we welcomed 27 different nationalities to our little village.
• Your children will be inspired by our English and Italian bilingual workshops covering a wide range of skills and activities based on each week's theme.
• Your children will be nourished by our nutritious, gluten free, organic, locally sourced, immune-boosting food based on the Weston A. Price diet, prepared by our in-house chefs.
• And for you…the opportunity to sample the famous Piemonte wines and delicacies!!

All of the counselors/teachers took time to foster meaningful relationships with the kids. The activities were fun, engaging and fully memorable.
