Testimonials
ISSOS has been an amazing experience for me and a memory I will cherish forever. I discovered my passions and made friends from all over the world.
The summers that I spent at ISSOS were the best summers of my life. I met incredible people that I’ll never forget. Every minute I spent at ISSOS was priceless and filled with joy, happiness and laughter, and I will forever be grateful to be part of the ISSOS family.
I made friends that I know will last a lifetime and all of that wouldn’t have been possible without ISSOS. The two summers I spent there were the best of my life, no doubt. I am grateful to everyone that I met.
ISSOS has allowed me to express myself in ways which I never thought I could before. I interacted with people from many different cultures, learned with top teachers and mentors, and made life-lasting friends. ISSOS is more than just a summer camp I attended, it’s a place I can call home.
