It has been an absolute pleasure to work at Matteo’s summer camp for two weeks. I just wish it had lasted even longer! Matteo and the team are amazing.

We were very happy to work with Alex. He is a very good boy, he enjoys playing with children, he talks and jokes with them. His experience with children has made the difference and the children loved the games he brought from Russia. He was always present when we needed him. Thanks for all.

That's an amazing Summer camp! It is not big at all, there are around 15 kids, so it is quite simple to look after them. You live together with kids in a picturesque place near two Italian lakes: Lecco and Como. The day system is very easy: you help kids in different stations like cleaning the dishes, helping in the kitchen or preparing games for… read more

Matteo and Lorenza are really warm-hearted, open-minded people and their camp and overall approach to children is very inspirational, focusing on freedom, trust and living in a community. Speaking Italian is probably helpful for working with the kids but even without it I felt accepted and appreciated throughout the week. Thank you!

I had an incredible week working with Matteo, Gabriella, and Lorenza at Camp Bravitutti. I don't speak a word of Italian, but that never stopped the staff or the kids from making me feel at home. I really enjoyed the style of the camp, the kids got to choose their activities, create rules and pick jobs. The location was remote and beautiful, and… read more
