Day Camps

Experience the Adventure! Combine a family vacation in the beautiful North Woods of Minnesota with the enriching experience of a Concordia Language Villages Adventure Day Camp! Designed for children aged 6 to 11, Adventure Day Camps run weekly from June through August, onsite at our culturally accurate Language Villages. Session dates and exact age ranges vary by language.

Know a villager who would love the Concordia Language Villages experience but is not quite ready for an overnight camp? Adventure Day Camp is the answer! Campers are served culturally appropriate lunches (and snacks!) and get to take advantage of all the summer camp activities while rejoining their families in the evenings.

Parents or families who travel for their children to attend often stay close by in one of Bemidji’s hotels, lodges or campgrounds. Lake Bemidji State Park is conveniently located just a few miles from the Concordia Language Villages entrance and is an excellent option for taking advantage of an authentic North Woods experience.

Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Lunch is provided.

Enjoy traditional summer camp activities while exploring the diversity of the Arab-speaking world through music, art, food and games! Live the language with our dedicated staff while exploring the traditions of the Middle East, North Africa and beyond.

Day Camp at Lac du Bois brings an array of fun experiences every day! Spanning French-speaking cultures, Lac du Bois will introduce you to French sports, music, food and more.

Authentic Korean activities mixed with camping favorites like swimming guarantee that every minute of your Sup sogŭi Hosu experience will be a treasured memory in the making.

Young adventurers’ imaginations come alive as they enter the Norwegian village of Skogfjorden. A message from the Vikings? A nøkken troll under a bridge? All these treasures and more await.
