Overview
Our Russian Language Camp helps students interested in Russian perfect their language skills. In addition to language classes, students will learn about the Russian way of life through cultural activities and excursions. These short term language camps offer an authentic insight into the local way of life.
St. Petersburg
Summer programs are offered in numerous cities, however we recommend St. Petersburg for several reasons. The downtown city center is smaller compared to other cities which makes it easier to get around, and students will have shorter travel times around the city. We are also able to offer more cultural activities to the students in St. Petersburg.
St. Petersburg is located on the Neva River, at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea. It is considered the Northern Capital and serves as a home to some of the federal government agencies. In addition, St. Petersburg is home to the Hermitage, one of the largest art museums in the world.
