Amari, France

This entire camp is a family. I definitely want to say I’ve grown a lot. it has helped me look at people from a different perspective, and also make sure i can incorporate their best aspects into my drawing, which is visual. It’s been a really good learning experience for me. I’m very thankful for my opportunity to come and enjoy the entrepreneurial and creative camp offered by SILC, and it’s been a really great experience.

Amber, Parent of Mathieu, Spain

SILC has truly been a fantastic experience for our son! We’re so grateful for all the amazing memories he’s made there. SILC has hands down the best summer camps around France, and Mathieu has loved every minute of it. A big thank you for making it all possible.

Antonella, Italy

I think that the friendships and the people I’ve met here, have been the best. Everyone is just so supportive and kind to each other no matter what. At the camp here, I learned so many new attitudes and mindsets to have on certain things. For example, trying new things and just try to motivate myself for different ways. So I think it would really help me back home to have the same routine.

Farik, Parent of Elena, Croatia

We invest in our daughter a lot by spending time with her, providing her with different experiences, giving directions and raising her to become a healthy and stable individual. Still, every summer when she gets back from SILC camps, we see an additional huge change! She comes back home, inspired, conscientious, more ambitious, and more noble as a human being. W really think that SILC camps are the single most important “investment” into our daughter.
