 GISC Gala Thanks
Over 150 guests partied the night away on Saturday, March 29, at the Ravenswood Event Center at GISC's 4th Annual Spring Gala. Guests enjoyed a fantastic evening with an open bar reception, gourmet dinner, live music, whiskey tastings, crazy photos in our photo booth, and late night dancing! The Gala was very successful, raising over $70,000 (almost $50,000 after expenses) for GISC. A selection of pictures from the Gala can be found on GISC's Facebook page. Thanks again to everyone who supported GISC - we are thankful for your generosity!

June 23 - August 1
Lyc�e Fran�ais de Chicago
613 West Bittersweet Place, Chicago, IL 60613
GISC is happy to partner with the Lyc�e Fran�ais once again to offer German Immersion Summer Camp at the Lyc�e. Camp activities include sports, games, crafts, music, and field trips. There are two weekly field trips: one to the beach and one to various places around Chicago such as a water park, the zoo, and a bowling alley. The Lyc�e also runs camps in French, Mandarin Chinese, and Arabic, so the camp program (called "World Camps") has an international focus, and children from different camps are encouraged to interact with one another. Although the camp is meant to be fun and play-based, our teachers will incorporate grammar and vocabulary-building strategies into activities so that the children will be improving their German as they play. The camp will run for three two-week sessions from June 23 - August 1, 2014, five days a week, from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm. It takes place at the Lyc�e location, 613 W. Bittersweet Place at Lake Shore Drive. The children will be divided into two groups, ages 3-5 ("Die Forscher") and ages 6-10 ("Die Abenteuerer"). GISC's own Frau Polanski will be teaching the younger group, and Frau Karin Foidl, a teacher at the Twin Cities German Immersion School and a graduate student at the University of Minnesota studying English and German Language Teaching, will lead the older group. 2014 Dates (in 2-week blocks): - June 23 - July 3, 2014
- July 7 - July 18, 2014
- July 21 - August 1, 2014
Families can sign up for one, two, or all three 2-week blocks. Tuition is $780 per two week session and includes a t-shirt, snacks, daily Green Monkey catered lunch and all field trip expenses. There is also before and after camp care available from 8:00-9:00 am and 3:00-5:30 pm for an additional charge.
