Organizing Groups


  1. We encourage you to apply early because programs fill fast.  Be sure to select a day or an overnight program appropriate for your students' age groups. Also note chaperone and Lead Teacher requirements.
  2. Present the information to your students to generate interest.
  3. Choose a program date.
  4. Poll the students to find out how many are interested in coming.
  5. Send a Request for Reservation
  6. Send the registration, health form and parent letter home with students so they can discuss the opportunity with their parents. Set a deadline for students to return the registration, health form and $25 non-refundable deposit to you.
  7. Organize a group of students to work on promoting attendance and raising funds. 
  8. Determine the possibilities for subsidizing the trip through fundraising.
  9. Send all applications, health forms and deposits together to the Bemidji office. We will then fax you a Confirmation of Registration. Village passports and information for teachers, students and parents will arrive approximately four weeks before the program.
  10. Collect remaining fees from students and forward them to the Bemidji office at least 30 days before the session begins.
  11. Meet with participants and chaperones to hand out Village passports and student/parent information. This is a good time to cover Concordia Language Villages policies and discuss meeting places, departure and return times.
