NAPLES: Information on Summer Camps


Top Summer Camps for Expat Kids in/near Naples

CittĂ  della Scienza Summer Camp (Naples): Located in Bagnoli, this camp offers interactive science workshops, planetarium visits, and outdoor activities for children aged 5-11, running June through early August.

International School of Lago Patria (ISLP) Summer School: Situated near Lago Patria, this school hosts a popular July program tailored for international families, offering both English and Italian-friendly environments.

New Green Garden School in Lago Patria offers summer camp. Commencing June 23rd to July 24th. Registration is required as soon as possible ideally first week in May.

Kamaleonte Summer Experience (Campania Region): Offers nature-based, outdoor, and water sports activities in Mediterranean National Parks for a "free spirit" adventure, often including Italian culture immersion.

Leonardo da Vinci Summer School (Cilento): A bit further south in Campania, this camp offers an international environment for kids (11–16) focused on language learning, beach activities, and Italian culture.

Key Considerations

Duration: Most camps operate in June and July, with limited options in August.
Language: While some programs are English-friendly (ISLP), others offer, "immersion" that allows children to learn Italian while socialising.
Age Groups: Camps generally cater to a wide range from early years up to teenagers, offering specialised activities like football, cooking, or sailing.

Defence Update on Long-term relationships: Closing the gap on allowances


If you’re in a long-term relationship, a range of allowances and support are now available to you – the same as your married or civil-partnered colleagues.

What’s changed?

Many allowances were only available to Service Personnel who were married or in a civil partnership. That wasn’t fair – not everyone wants to get married, even when they’re in a committed relationship.

From 1 May 2026, if you are in a Long-Term Relationship (Established) – known as an LTR(E) – you can claim allowances and provisions that were previously unavailable to you, just like your married colleagues.
