Adult Residential Summer Camps
Time of Your Life: Spanish Immersion Camp (Week
1 August 3-8, Week 2 August 10-15, Week 3 August 17-22)
For over 20 years, a Spanish Immersion Camp
has been offered at Hunt Hill - organized by a private company.
Beginning in 2007, Hunt Hill took over operation of the Spanish
Immersion camp with one week of camp in August. In 2008, we will
offer three weeks of Spanish Immersion Camp.
As a beginner you can learn Spanish or
refresh your Spanish skills at the Intermediate or Advanced
level at this one-week camp at Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary.
Certified instructors will work with you in small groups
organized on the basis of your proficiency level. Aside from
learning and improving your Spanish, you’ll learn about issues
affecting peoples of the Americas and practice songs and dances.
An evening social hour offers the opportunity to learn to cook
Spanish recipes, socialize, sing and dance in Spanish.
During the week there will be opportunities
to take hikes, canoe and swim at designated times on the three
crystal clear lakes at Hunt Hill.
The cost of the camp is $475 – all inclusive for the week
(food, snacks, lodging in a 2 or 4 bed room, staff, and program
supplies). If you want a single room, you may add $55/week to
your registration fees and indicate this preference on the
registration form. Brochure and registration forms are available
at www.hunthill.org or you
may contact the office to have one mailed to you - 715 635 6543
or

2008: Swedish Language and
Culture Immersion Camp
(June 15-20, 2008)
Beginning in the summer of 2008, Hunt
Hill will offer Swedish Language and Culture Immersion camp
for teens and adults. Eva Apelqvist of Spooner, a native of
Stockholm, Sweden, will be Dean of the Swedish Camp.
Combine your love of nature and your longing to learn more
about your Swedish heritage at this unique Swedish language
and culture immersion camp.
In addition to language training on a
beginning, intermediate and/or advanced level by experienced
and skilled teachers, På svenska offers you a number of
exciting learning opportunities.
You will receive instruction in how to
cook a number of popular Swedish foods. You will be exposed
to modern and not so modern Swedish culture, history, and
politics. And of course, you will be challenged to learn all
you can about the culture you love.
Delicious Swedish dining, camaraderie,
Swedish crafts, guided nature walks in the Audubon
sanctuary, a genuinely Swedish midsummer celebration, and
social evening programs including lectures, movies, and live
music, will make this camp experience one in a life time.
Space is limited. We accept applicants on
a first come, first served basis. The cost of the camp is
$475 – all inclusive for the week (food, snacks, lodging,
staff, program supplies). If you want a single room, you may

Hejsan! My name is Margaret
Dorer, and I’m a recent graduate of Gustavus Adolphus
College in St. Peter, MN where I majored in Scandinavian
Studies and Psychology. While at Gustavus I played
hockey and lacrosse, was co-president of Viking Society
(A group that promoted Swedish and Scandinavian studies
on campus) and lived in the Swedish House. Before
college I studied abroad in Leksand, Sweden, where I
learned Swedish and fell in love with the language and
the culture. I have worked for three summers at
Sjölunden, a Swedish language summer camp for children
ages 6 to 18, and plan on working there again next
summer. I’ve also worked as a Swedish tutor at Gustavus
for the Scandinavian studies department and as a private
tutor for children and families in the St. Peter area.
I look forward to sharing my love of Swedish language
and culture with everyone at Hunt Hill this year. Vi
ses!
