<p>So the title basically says it all. I just want to find like a language camp or a foreign exchange program (that isn't extremely costly) that also offers summer exchanges. I really wanted to apply to Congress-Bundestag but the IB Coordinators at our school will count absences during the school year as unexcused, and Congress-Bundestag is for an entire year. Help!</p>
<p>Bump! Oh and if I didn’t mention it, free or low cost would be great</p>
<p>Middlebury-Monteray Language Academy does a great summer language program at either Swarthmore, Pomona, or Green Mountain College where students can study Spanish, French, Chinese, German and I THINK Arabic</p>
<p>but it’s also about $6000…</p>
<p>Concordia Language Villages, and I think Middlebury used to offer summer camps that were language immersion.</p>
<p>One of my kids went on this program to Finland for a summer:</p>
<p>[Youth</a> For Understanding USA | Scholarships](<a href=“http://yfuusa.org/scholarships/finland-us-senate-youth-exchange-program-12.php]Youth”>Youth For Understanding USA) </p>
<p>It was a great deal, not very expensive for us. It might cost a total of around $2,000 for your portion of tuition, plus insurance and a few other things.</p>
<p>YFU has other scholarships, too – I seem to remember a lot of kids getting scholarships to go to Japan the summer my D went (but she went about six years ago, so it has been a while).</p>
