ESL Camps

Improve English as a Second Language skills at summer camp

ESL camps offer your son or daughter a unique opportunity to grow and learn: away from home at a camp and interacting with peers, your child will certainly improve English speaking skills if that is the camp's focus. Some ESL camps may combine students from different nationalities while others may focus on integration with native English speakers. Different camps offer different focuses, so be sure to investigate the listings below thoroughly, in order to find the camp best-suited to your child.

The great advantage to an English as a Second Language camp is that your child's understanding of English will not languish over the summer months but will actually continue to improve (as it does during the school year).

If you are considering an ESL camp:

Be sure to mind the student-to-teacher ratio
Know and understand the qualifications of the camp leaders and instructors
Get references or other feedback on the camp

ESL camps from across Canada and the northern United States are listed below. Trust camps.ca to help you find the summer camp just right for your family.
