Arte al Sole
Art, Soccer, and Italian cultural immersion on a family-run organic estate in Umbria
What this is
A family-run organic estate in Umbria (central Italy) offering day camp and optional residential programming for ages 6–12. The focus is split between two passions: arts and sport. Kids spend time painting, sculpting, exploring Etruscan history, and cooking on the organic property, alongside soccer and outdoor play.
The program is taught in English, making it accessible for international families. The "al Sole" (in the sun) name captures the spirit — warm, unhurried days in the Umbrian countryside, where kids get both creative expression and outdoor activity. The organic estate setting means fresh food, animals, and a genuine connection to place.
Umbria is Italy's green heart — rolling hills, medieval towns, and that distinctly central Italian pace. It's less touristy than Tuscany but equally beautiful. The camp provides a real taste of Italian life without the crowds. Residential options are available if you want to extend the experience. Rome is the closest major airport, about 2.5 hours away.
