What’s the process to enroll my child?

Our program has a very limited number of spots each summer. To ensure the best possible experience for every participant, we review all applications individually.

Step 1 — Send us your interest

Parents can fill out the application form here or email us directly to express interest in the Ventotene Summer Camp.

Please include your child’s age and a brief introduction.

Step 2 — Meet Lorenzo in New York (Optional but highly recommended)

Once we receive your message, Lorenzo Tonello, the camp director, will reach out to arrange a meeting at Sullaluna, our Italian bookstore and bistro in the West Village.

Over an aperitivo, Lorenzo will personally meet with the parent(s), learn more about your child, and answer any questions about the program, the island, and the daily structure of the experience.

This meeting is an important moment for both sides to understand expectations and make sure the program is the right match.

Step 3 — Acceptance & deposit

If both sides feel that the program is a good fit, we proceed with the enrollment. A deposit is required to secure the spot.
