Labsitters' Stop&Play summer camp was born with a simple and beautiful goal: to let children experience Florence, not just visit it.
Our summer camp is designed to transform the city into an open-air classroom, where every day is a different adventure through art, history, nature, and play.
Join our Open Days to get an inside look at our Summer Camps! It’s the perfect opportunity to meet the team, explore the locations, and dive into the educational program designed to give children a summer full of fun, learning, and creativity.

Stop&Play
Via Ghibellina, 115r - Firenze
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Every day includes a trip or activity to discover Florence: museums, workshops, themed walks, hidden places, and curious corners of the city.
Children explore, observe, ask questions, and learn... almost without realizing it.
Our location is on Via Ghibellina, at the Stop&Play space, just minutes from the historic center.
A welcoming and safe space that becomes the starting and ending point for our daily explorations.
To make it easier for families to organize their activities, morning drop-off can be arranged in the Piazza Beccaria area.
From there, children will travel to the activities accompanied by their instructors, in an organized and safe manner.
Ogni settimana è dedicata a un tema diverso, che guida le attività, le visite e i giochi:
Each week is dedicated to a different theme, which guides the activities, visits, and games: art, the mysteries of Florence, artisan workshops, nature in the city, stories and legends...
During the week, 2 or 3 days will be led by a guide expert in visits for children, who will accompany the group to discover selected museums or activities, using engaging, dynamic, and age-appropriate language.

Enrichetta
My 8-year-old daughter Amelia attended 2 weeks of the Labsitters' summer center and came out enthusiastic.
Her relationship with the English language has changed positively and this experience has sparked her great curiosity.
She will definitely come back next year and with high probability, we will also try the online courses.
Lorenzo
My son Francesco was won over by the positivity, kindness, and welcome of your staff !!!
He had some lovely moments feeling at ease immediately. The idea of having the English language in the foreground is exceptional, learning while having fun is absolutely easier.
My compliments to the whole organization!
