While getting ready for the new school year ahead, we are still reminiscing about all the incredible memories we made at our youth summer camp in Scotland!
From surfing to discovering amazing wildlife and exploring the stunning Scottish countryside, it was a summer packed with adventure. We practiced our swings on the golf course, honed our skills in tennis and volleyball, and even fit in some English lessons.
We also took some amazing trips, exploring historic Edinburgh and St. Andrews, as well as visiting Perth, Dunkeld, Falkirk, and New Bridge.

Transylvania High School students had a blast this summer at the youth summer camp in the USA!
Our incredible week started on the vibrant Fordham University campus in the Bronx, filled with engaging English lessons and new friendships. We explored the iconic Grand Central Station, felt the magic at the Broadway MJ Experience, and were dazzled by the bright lights of Times Square! We even climbed to the top of the Empire State Building for breathtaking views.
But the adventure didn't stop there! We journeyed to Liberty Island and Ellis Island, witnessing symbols of freedom and history. The thundering power of Niagara Falls left us in awe, and we experienced the charm of Kettle Village. Our guided tours in Washington D.C. and Philadelphia brought history to life.
