Where I'm Working this Summer

I just found out a couple weeks ago that I will be working in Ftan, Switzerland for a month this summer. I'll be working with Concordia Language Villages again, and this will be in their English program, called Hometown, Europe. There is also a Hometown, USA in Minnesota.

Ftan is a small village/town in the Alps, and it looks like this:



I'm pretty excited to work with this program. There are fun names for everything. The living groups are named after streets, like Abbey Lane or Easy Street. The nurse's office is called "Queasy Street." The morning signing hour is called "Rock-n-Roll" and I believe the rooms are called Madison Square Garden, Washington D.C., etc. This is what all the other language camps do (our office at Salolampi was called "Helsinki" and the dining hall at Lac du Bois is called "Paris"), but it's even funnier when it's in my native language.

If you want to see some pictures of the program, you can view last year's village production page here: Hometown, Europe

I'm leaving Vienna for Ftan on June 30, and I'll come back to Vienna for a couple days before my flight back to America, which leaves on August 6.
