What else makes studying English abroad so beneficial for kids?

Read on for 4 more ways your child will grow from attending English camp in Canada.

1. English Camp in Canada Exposes Kids to Diverse Cultures

Ask any child who’s participated in an international summer camp and they’ll tell you – making new friends from around the world is the best part!

Destination Canada student, Katrine Dige Ouesen says, “The best thing about the program is the diversity of the student population…the students come from all over the world and it is great to learn about their way of life and culture.”

From Mexico to Peru, Denmark, China, and beyond, a diverse collection of students gather at Canadian international English camps in every summer. By studying the language with other kids from around the world, students build a deeper sense of inter-cultural awareness.

This awareness helps your child think outside their own “cultural box” and gain a greater appreciation and understanding for other traditions and viewpoints – such an important skill in today’s globalized world!

2. English Camp Students Explore Canadian Nature & Famous Sites

Canada is known around the world for its spectacular landscapes and friendly people! Peaceful and prosperous, there is no better place for your child to learn and practice English.

Destination Canada’s summer camp for international students is located in beautiful Ottawa, Canada’s capital city. Ottawa is close to many of Canada’s most famous tourist destinations, so students are just short daytrips away from unforgettable wonders like the Niagara Falls and Toronto’s CN Tower.

“Canada is just gorgeous!” says Fraziska, a Destination Canada camper from Germany. “It’s really, really nice. We will go to Toronto next weekend, and to Montreal…it’s a great opportunity.”

3. ESL Camps in Canada Help Kids Get Fluent Quickly

Canadian summer English camps help your child learn the language quickly through a combination of total immersion and intensive classroom instruction.

At Destination Canada, for example, students receive 5 hours of formal English instruction every weekday – all offered in Canada’s fully immersive English-speaking environment. And after class, students are busy practicing their English during fun activities, day trips, sports, and other social events, which really helps build their fluency.

Plus, students at Destination Canada are carefully tested before and during the summer program so that each child gets the help they need to succeed. “You don’t have to worry if it’s too difficult or too easy, because they adjust it so it’s just at your level,” explains Destination Canada camper Soren, from Denmark. “You don’t get bored here – you don’t have time to get bored!”

4. Kids Build Self-Confidence & Independence at ESL Camp in Canada

Many children who come to international English summer school have never been away from home by themselves before. By spending a summer abroad away from their parents, they get to experience a new level of independence.

In a safe, supportive environment, with teachers and mentors guiding them every step of the way, international students learn to feel confident in their own strengths and abilities.

“Throughout my time at the camp, I learned a great deal,” explains Colombian student Maria Fernanda Valderrama Vargas. “I was presented with new challenges and responsibilities that allowed me to grow as a better human being.”

Her younger campmate, Sofia from Mexico, agrees: “We learned about other people, and they learned about us. And that makes you grow up.”
