About Concordia Language Villages: 

Named one of Minnesota's Best Summer Camps by Star Tribune readers for three years in a row, we bring language alive at Concordia Language Villages! In the beautiful North Woods of Minnesota, we create a place that is both culturally authentic and uniquely our own. At the Language Villages, everything from the music played to the dishes used in the dining hall reflects the culture each was designed to represent. 
That's where you come in! Our dedicated staff is essential to creating the unique, immersive experience our participants have come to love. Share your passion for language and culture with the next generation and beyond by joining us at one (or more) of 14 Language Villages.
