In cooperation with UNESCO and the National Education Office of Poland, WIESCO will organize a Summer Language Camp in Torun for about 110 high school students coming from all parts of Poland. In 2008, the fifteenth year at “XLO”/ Lyceum Number Ten was celebrated. The Camp is located very near the Centrum of the city. The facility had served as a military academy until it was chartered and established in 1993 as a specialized public high school with a strong focus on math, science, technology and preparation for university. The current principal, committed to modernization and innovation, has been with the school from its beginning and the Polish director for the language camp. This is a large gated facility with residence halls, classrooms, gymnasium, exercise room, and a large dining hall surrounding the parade ground.  

Torun: Torun, for hundreds of years known as “the queen of the Wisla” (Vistula River), is a medieval town founded in the 13th century with ruins of a Teutonic castle and a Centrum dating to the middle ages with preserved walls, gates, townhouses and granaries. It is the birthplace of the scientist Nicholas Copernicus and site of a modern university bearing his name. Torun boasts a rich cultural history celebrated in its architecture, galleries and musems. During the summer, music, theatre, and film festivals are often hosted. The City of Torun, a “friendly” city, is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.
