Industry professionals and native speakers teach children and teenagers.

What is the camp's philosophy or mission, and how does it guide the program's activities?

Our camp's mission is to provide a fun, educational, and culturally enriching experience for campers. We prioritize personal growth, teamwork, and global awareness through a variety of engaging activities and excursions.

The language programs, combined with sports training, involve the development of oral speech, reading, and grammar and spelling skills. The traditional form of education – academic hours of language classes – are added with sports training. Learning outcomes are: progress in general language proficiency and physical recovery.

The host party organizes the free time of children/teenagers who have come to study abroad for summer language programs. Leisure activities offered in schools and language courses:

• Excursions to popular tourist destinations (museums, parks), visits to local attractions (including farms, private industries);
• Joint games, projects on school grounds,
• Sports events and trainings,
• Family forms of leisure (board and video games, watching movies).
