Summer Camp
It's a world of fun at International School of Portland's language immersion summer camp!
Mandarin, Spanish, or Japanese language and culture will come to life through hands-on projects, stories, songs, games and outdoor fun with our teachers from around the world!
Campers are placed into groups based on their grade and language exposure, so there’s room for all levels of experience. Whether they’re learning a new language or already fluent, campers will love spending time together each Summer immersed in the very heart of Portland, Oregon!
