The Moscow Ministry of Education’s international Russian language summer camp from July 6-26 is a great opportunity for a secondary school teacher to take his/her class (or up to 9 students) to Moscow this summer. The MoE provides visa invitations, airport transfers, and four weeks all inclusive at the camp (a very nice, modern facility). The group would only have to pay for their Russian visas, air tickets and medical insurance.

If you are interested you should email Raejean Stokes at American Councils for more information.
