Christmas & New Year Camps
Our International Day Camps, Christmas edition. Three weeks, three adventures, one international community.
Three holiday weeks in English, from 21 December to 8 January, for children aged 4–7 and 8–12. Children from different countries and home languages meet, make things and become friends. English is what they share, and it does not have to be perfect: we care more about a good idea than a perfect sentence.
Who is it for?
Children aged 4–7 and 8–12, at any level of English. Whether your family has lived in Vilnius for years or has just arrived, your child is welcome. No Lithuanian is needed.
What happens in a session?
Each morning and afternoon has its own activity: music, crafts, ice skating, baking, museums, theatre, quests and train trips. Activities are adapted for each age group, and lunch is included on full days.
Learning aims
- Using English with confidence, whatever the level
- New friendships across languages and backgrounds
- Discovering Vilnius and Lithuania through stories and places
Example activities
- Christmas music, crafts and gingerbread baking
- Ice skating, winter quests and train adventures
- Drama, masks, puppets and a New Year celebration

Questions parents ask
Can my child come for just a few days?
Yes. Choose one week, several weeks or individual days: €55 for a full day with lunch, or €30 for the half-days on 24 and 31 December.
Does my child need to speak English already?
No. All levels are welcome. Children still finding their words take part through games, movement and making things, while confident speakers play with the language.
Do the trips always go ahead?
Trips and venues may change with the weather or availability. We will always replace them with an activity of the same kind.
