Those with two or more years of teaching experience can participate in and earn graduate credit from two-week summer Teacher Seminars. Seminars are in English and include workshops with Language Village staff and the opportunity to observe youth at the language camps. Other educators enjoy returning for the summer four-day Enrichment Workshop. As part of this experience, they help celebrate International Day. People age 55 or older will enjoy studying German through Elderhostel.
Special programs cost more.
Children traveling to Minnesota from afar fly into the Twin Cities International Airport, where they are met by a staff person and driven to Waldsee. Families like the Mechells, who live within driving distance, often spend a few days in this popular resort area before or after dropping their child off at Waldsee. The town of Bemidji is about 15 minutes away. Itasca State Park, about an hour away, has excellent accommodations, including a historic lodge and cabins. The proverb is actually of African origin.
