Summer Camp Adventures Await at Villa Carlotta

A for ART, B for BOTANY. Art, creativity and nature at Villa Carlotta

On the shimmering shores of Lake Como, within the timeless beauty of one of Italy’s most enchanting villas, comes an experience where culture, creativity and discovery meet: A for ART, B for BOTANY. Designed for children and young people, this unique programme offers a week – or more – immersed in the wonders of Villa Carlotta, where artistic masterpieces and an extraordinary botanical garden set the stage for adventure.

The schedule is a journey in itself: creative ateliers, experimental workshops, play and movement activities, reading sessions and dedicated time for summer homework. All woven together with moments of relaxation and free play – essential ingredients for a summer of joy and personal growth.

Led by experienced educators, participants will step into new worlds each week: one moment delving into the secrets of art and history, the next exploring the marvels of nature or the curiosities of science. Villa Carlotta and its eight-hectare park become a vast open-air classroom, where learning blends seamlessly with wonder.

This initiative combines educational value with emotional experience, making summer on the shores of Lake Como an unforgettable season of exploration, creativity and shared discovery.
