International Summer Camp Montana ViewFor 50 years, International Summer Camp Montana has employed European traditions in the development of physical and intellectual achievement.

 

The philosophy of the camp is to provide a healthy experience in outdoor living through sports in a creative and wholesome environment.

 

Through the wide range of activities offered, our campers develop in both mind and body. Being an international camp, each child has the opportunity to broaden his outlook by meeting people from different countries and varied backgrounds.

 

The combination of recreational, educational and social activities with co-operative living enables each camper to acquire a maturity and independence essential to his own well-being. By respecting others, the camper develops a better understanding of democratic ideals and responsible citizenship.

 

International Summer Camp Montana provides a unique opportunity to understand oneself better by living with others in surroundings of beauty, joy and learning.
