offers an in-depth living experience in German-speaking cultures. Your
journey begins when you choose a German name. You will exchange your
American dollars for Deutsche Mark, which you deposit in your Waldsee
bank account, and settle into your new home in a Haus (cabin) named
after a major German, Austrian, or Swiss city. From Bern to Berlin to
Vienna , at Waldsee, you'll want to use your German from the first sleepy
Guten Morgen (good morning) right through Reich mir bitte das Wienerschnitzel
(please pass the wienerschnitzel) at the dining table. The morning and
afternoon will be filled with numerous sessions and activities. You
may join a large group language session in the morning and later on
a song session. The afternoon may bring smaller conversation practice
periods. Activities like Fussball, fencing, dancing, swimming, band,
drama, baking, chess, ethnic arts such as Bauernmalerei (Bavarian folk
art painting) and Scherenschnitte (Swiss paper cutting) are going on
all day. You may even make Swiss cheese! You may spend ein Tag im Mittelalter
(a day in the Middle Ages), go on a northern German Kaperfahrt (pirate
journey), relive the adventures of Wilhelm Tell or learn the language
and cultural skills you'd need to take the train from Berlin to Munich
or to ride the subway in Vienna. The notes of "O wie wohl ist mir am
Abend" ("Oh, How Wonderful I Feel This Evening") may be heard as the
sun goes down while you and your new-found friends gather around the
warm, cozy Lagerfeuer (campfire) before going to bed.</b></font></p>

offers an in-depth living experience in French-speaking cultures. Your
first step will be to choose your new French name. You'll exchange your
dollars for francs and your moniteur or monitrice (counselor) will help
you settle into your cabin named after a French city, province, château,
or another French-speaking country. Your day will begin with the flag-raising
ceremony à la française and morning exercises, just enough
to wake you up. For petit déjeuner (breakfast), you'll start
the day with chocolat chaud (hot chocolate) or café au lait (coffee
with milk), baguette (French bread), confiture (jam) and muesli (granola).
Morning learning groups, organized according to level of proficiency,
will allow you to speak French at the village bank and store. You can
learn sports such as badminton, volleyball, soccer, boules, croquet,
sailing, swimming and canoeing. There are folk dancing and singing groups,
ethnic arts and crafts, drama and mime. After another authentic French
meal, the afternoon will bring free time to stop at the confiserie (candy
store) or the librarie (book and paper store). Before the evening meal
there will be a quick conversation review. Cultural presentations may
follow dinner, or you will find time for cookouts, dances or campfires.</b></font></p>
