ACLE (Associazione Culturale Linguistica Educational)  is a non-profit organisation endorsed by the Italian Ministry of Education. It involves the immersion of Italian children (ages 5 - 18) in the English language through summer camps, based both in the north and south of Italy.

Each summer ACLE sends around 400 native English-speaking tutors to around 300 camps in Italy. Camps are either city-based (City Camps) or residential (Summer Camps). Both types of camp are overseen by an English-speaking Italian camp director. Directors are usually English teachers and, in the case of City Camps, usually work at the host school.

ACLE Camps aim to:

-Provide a full-immersion experience in English for Italian children who are unable to spend the summer in an   English-speaking country.

-Create enthusiasm and motivation for new multicultural experiences.

-Offer an alternative approach to the traditional Italian teacher-centred scholastic system of “chalk and talk”, so as to stimulate the emotions and energy that an entertaining atmosphere can provide.
