Sharpen ESL skills this summer

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). The full immersion in a second language strengthens conversational usage, understandings of subtleties and idioms and encourages deep friendships with (English speaking) children.

At ESL Camps, campers will learn to:

use basic vocabulary
read books and materials that match their reading skill level
practice writing with short compositions about their experiences
employ listening and comprehension skills.
speak, write and read
use phrases in "everyday English"

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 are among the most popular camps today. The educational and recreational programs improve the participants' language skills and allow for an enjoyable experience. This is a new advanced concept of language learning that is a combination of education and amusement. Campers also get a chance to be immersed in the English language and culture while engaged in fun activities.

ESL camps in Canada and the northern United States are listed here
