Get creative and take the learning outside🎨🌲

At Waldsee, outdoor crafts bring German language and culture to life while giving villagers a chance to make, explore, and create. There’s always something new to discover when creativity and the outdoors come together!

What’s your favorite craft to make at camp?

Waldsee villagers got a front-row seat to a partial solar eclipse🌞🌘

They’ve been keeping an eye out for the Perseids meteor shower, but the clouds have had other plans. Here’s hoping for clear skies and a little more stargazing magic✨

Swipe to the end to see what they were looking at!

Hallo aus Waldsee!

Thank you to all of our incredible villagers and staff for making our first session of the summer so unforgettable. Together we celebrated traditions and built friendships that will last long after the session ended.

These candid photos were captured by our counselors throughout the session, preserving the everyday moments of laughter, learning, and community that made this summer so special.

Vielen Dank für einen wunderbaren Sommer—we can't wait to welcome you back to Waldsee next year! 💙

Villagers have arrived at Waldsee! Yesterday kicked off our official start to the summer season and with that, our campers were able to tour the site and enjoyed a dinner of Schnitzel, asparagus, and French fries and ended the night with Swiss chocolate fondue!

We’re enjoying making new friends, singing songs, and of course, living the German language!

There are still camps with openings this summer so you don’t have to miss out. Visit https://www.concordialanguagevillages.org/sessions?language=German to register today! We hope to see you this summer!

You never know when your language skills will become a critical necessity. Read below about one of our very own who found herself in that very situation.

A Minnesota nurse helped rescue a hiker lost for days — and her Concordia Language Villages experience made all the difference.

She’s not just an alum. She’s one of our Village nurses.

You don’t need to speak another language to work here. But you will gain powerful cross cultural skills that stay with you for life.

Nurses and nursing students: want a meaningful summer?
