With 30 hours of intense, but fun, enjoyable instruction in each two-week session, campers concentrate on mastering conversation - both speaking and comprehension. Highly trained and experienced teachers/counsellors oversee this successful and worthwhile camp experience. This unique and highly acclaimed fun approach leads to greater camper progress than in classic language "schools".

During this highly rewarding experience, language campers are encouraged in fun, challenging ways to utilize their English or French throughout the entire day and evening , not only during classes. This insures better progress and means the children returning home will speak and understand English or French more effectively.
Assessment is continual. A certificate is awarded at the end of camp and a written report is sent to the parents.

In the afternoons, campers from all programmes join together for a mixture of planned and elective activities from the many available.
