Summer school in Lithuania gives students the opportunity to spend the summer in the largest of the Baltic states: in Vilnius, known for its baroque architecture, in the student city of Kaunas, and on the Baltic coast with its famous sand dunes. Summer programs in Lithuania combine language lessons with technology and entrepreneurship workshops, trips to historic castles and beach activities.
Lithuania is rarely chosen for summer school by students from Turkey, and the number of international programs for young people is limited. Programs are usually organized as English summer camps for older teenagers, and as university summer schools and Lithuanian language courses for participants over 18. For students looking for an affordable and different European summer experience, especially those interested in technology and entrepreneurship, Lithuania is a notable option.
Attending summer school in Lithuania offers students a range of benefits beyond language learning.
Lithuania is a country on the Baltic Sea and a member of the European Union and NATO. Its capital is Vilnius. The official language is Lithuanian, which is considered one of the oldest Indo-European languages still spoken today. English is widely spoken, especially among young people. The currency is the euro.
Lithuania is known for its forests, thousands of lakes, medieval castles and sand dunes on the Baltic coast. The weather in summer usually ranges from mild to cool, and the days are very long. There are direct and connecting flights from Turkey to Vilnius.

In the afternoon, there are lakeside water sports, canoeing, bike tours, workshops and city tours. In the evening, there are campfires, games and social activities.
At weekends, students go on full-day excursions to places such as the historic center of Vilnius, the historic Trakai Castle on an island in a lake, Kaunas, Klaipeda and Palanga on the Baltic coast, and the Curonian Spit, famous for its sand dunes. Some programs may also include trips to neighboring Latvia.
Application requirements for summer programs in Lithuania vary depending on the type of program. International English summer camps usually accept students of all levels, and the student's level is determined at the start of the program.
University summer schools usually require participants to be over 18 and to have a good level of English, and some programs ask for a transcript and a motivation letter. The application usually requires a student information form, a copy of the passport, health information and, for students under 18, a parental consent form.
Summer programs in Lithuania are usually held in June, July and August. Youth camps are usually organized in sessions of one or two weeks, and university summer schools usually last two to four weeks.
Since places in the programs are limited, it is advisable to apply at least three to six months before the program. Application deadlines for university summer schools usually close in the spring. Keeping in mind the visa process, it is very important to plan early.

Lithuania is a calm and safe country. At camps for young people, students are looked after by teachers and supervisors throughout the program. Lake and sea activities are carried out with supervisors, with safety equipment such as life jackets, in designated safe areas.
Since university summer schools are usually for participants over 18, participants follow a more independent schedule. Many programs offer pick-up at Vilnius airport and an emergency line.
