Every day is like a new adventure abroad
Participants become "villagers" and live in the language and culture from the moment they wake up to the close of the day.
Greetings!Lesnoe Ozero ( ) is a great place to be if you want to
explore your heritage, if you are fascinated by Russian literature,
or if you are intrigued by Slavic and Eurasian cultures
and just want to know more. From absolute
beginners to proficient language speakers,
all villagers are immersed in Russian
language and culture by participating
in small language learning groups,
playing sports, dancing, singing,
cooking, playing chess, canoeing,
playing the balalaika, and other camp
activities. Lesnoe Ozero offers one- and
two-week summer youth programs, a
four-week high school credit program, day
camps and family programs.

Why Learn Russian?Learning Russian connects you to 153 million
people with Russian listed
as their first language
and another 61 million
people who speak
Russian fluently as their
second language. It is
also one of the six official
languages of the United
Nations.
Life at Lesnoe OzeroThe villagers will live, learn and make new friends in our beautiful Village with handcrafted log cabins and in a forest that resembles northern Russia. Counselors engage villagers with language using songs, games and gestures to increase understanding and retention.

Camp Activities Can Include:
Fantastic Russian FoodEach meal is culturally authentic and is cooked from scratch. Villagers start out with a traditional Russian soup, followed by vegetables such as beets or carrots and a main dish such as dumplings or shish kabobs with fresh-baked bread served on the side.
Special ProgramsThe Heritage Program at Lesnoe Ozero is for students who were
raised in a Russian-speaking environment and have some command
of spoken Russian. The curriculum is specifically designed to focus
on the unique needs of these heritage speakers, with the goals of
bringing the language of our heritage students closer to that of their
grade-level peers in Russia and increasing students' cultural literacy
through art, literature, folk tales, history, music, politics and science.
