• Student’s information: In the first part of the form, we’d like to get to know you a little better! We’ll ask for some personal details, such as your document number, email, phone number and address. We’d also love to know which languages you speak and how you heard about Lala.
• Choose your camp: This season, you’ll need to select one type of camp. After that, you can choose two options for languages and dates. Remember: the first language you select should match the language in which you’re filling out the form.

The language chosen for the camp will be the same for the filling of forms, essays and interviews.

We believe financial limitations shouldn’t prevent anyone from participating. That’s why we offer financial aid (you can see more details below).

• Tell us more about you: We’d love to get to know you better! Share your current level of education, your thoughts on taking a gap year, and whether you’re currently studying (or plan to study) at a university. Let us know your three main interests—what excites and inspires you? Additionally, tell us about any youth organizations or programs (besides LALA) that you’ve been involved with in the past or are currently part of. Don’t worry—there are no right or wrong answers here, we’re simply excited to discover the real you! 😊
