Our Italian summer camp is located in Lignano, situated to the South of Friuli, between Venice and Trieste. Lignano is a peninsula stretching into the Adriatic Sea.

Lignano is a popular destination for Europeans and it offers mild, healthy climate and outstanding facilities for sport and entertainment. With its lively atmosphere and excellent amenities, it provides the ideal environment for study and leisure.

Lignano is divided in 3 great areas: Lignano Sabbiadoro: the tip of the peninsula, the heart of entertainment, full of life and irresistible attractions for children and adults.

Our summer school campus could not be better located. It is situated on a peaceful, secure and stunning pinewood area, which opens out to the private beach and the beautiful waters of the Adriatic Sea.

The program is located in the center of a larger residential village, called the "Villaggio Adriatico". The campus is also host to holiday programs for Italian teenagers during the summer months; offering our students the opportunity to interact with the local Italian teenagers in activities, and by sharing rooms with them in the residence accommodation.

Our campus is an extensive pinewood park. It includes a wide stretching, private beach and numerous sport facilities, such as: 3 swimming pools, basketball and tennis courts, and sand volleyball. It is the perfect setting to have outdoor classes and to organize sports and leisure activities.

STUDENT FEEDBACK "In Italy I had the time of my life. The camp was a lot of fun and I made wonderful friends who I will always keep in touch with. Thinking about my time in Lignano makes me smile, I wouldn't trade the experience I had for anything. The accommodation was good, comfortable and always clean. The Teenagers Abroad staff were always helpful with whatever questions I had before I left. In some cases they responded the same day. The website was very informative, and gave a good description of what to expect. Everything was awesome. The staff was really friendly, and classes were interesting. The other students were all great and the location of the school was ideal, being so close to Venice and the beach." PAUL B. (age 16)
