We are a team of enthusiastic parents, native Russian speakers and Russian language educators with the RECM / Russian Educational Center of Minnesota. We are passionate about teaching our kids Russian and preserving the Russian heritage.

Our main goal is to immerse children in Russian-language environment filled with fun summer camp experiences.

Does your child need to know Russian to attend the camp? Absolutely not! We bring Russian language to life for anyone 6 years and older with any level of Russian knowledge.

It all started 5 years ago with a family-style day camp in the summer, where we learned Russian through playing games, went to museums, visited pools, playgrounds, cooked traditional Russian food together, organized debates, staged theater productions, played trivia and did it all in Russian. From year to year the same kids kept coming, new ones joined, and our Russian family grew. Kids kept asking for sleepovers with their Russian friends. One day kids suggested we could do a sleep-away camp to really enjoy friendships and adventures, fully immersed in the Russian language. This is how our overnight Russian Immersion Camp was born.
