Choosing to spend a summer abroad is an excellent way to meet new friends, experience a new culture, and make memories that will last a lifetime. But before choosing which ESL camp to enroll your child into, it’s important to decide which country they’d like to visit.

For many ESL learners, Canada is their top choice for a summer getaway. What sets Canada apart from other English-speaking countries? Read this blog to find out!

1. Canada Is World-Renowned for its Welcoming Multicultural Environment

When it comes to promoting an inclusive, friendly, and multicultural environment, Canada is a country that stands out as a top global leader. In fact, as the government of Canada proudly states on its website:

“In 1971, Canada was the first country in the world to adopt multiculturalism as an official policy.”

Canadians are also well-travelled, and approximately 60% of Canadians have a passport. That means that not only are they open to welcoming other cultures, but they’re also curious about learning the customs of other countries.

2. Natural Beauty and Clean Air Help Make ESL Summer Programs in Canada Truly Unforgettable

Canada is known for its beautiful wilderness and green spaces – and with good reason! Did you know that the Wood Buffalo National Park of Canada (one of Canada’s many national and provincial parks) is bigger than Switzerland? It’s true!

With so many beautiful natural locations to visit, it’s no surprise that kids enrolled in ESL summer programs in Canada get to experience a natural wilderness unlike any other. At Destination Canada, for example, campers can enjoy weekend trips to Park Omega to see Canadian wildlife in their natural habitat (from the safety of the bus), as well as an eco-odyssey paddle boat trip.

And, with its abundance of forests and natural open spaces, Canada’s air quality is among the best in the world.

3. Canada is a World Leader in ESL Education

Canada is officially a bilingual country. And, while it might seem counterintuitive at first to study English in a country that speaks French and English, it’s actually a top advantage of attending ESL camp in Canada. Why?

Because, as the Canadian Bureau for International Education points out, “For over a century, Canada’s two official languages (English and French) have been taught as second languages, which is why we are world leaders in language training.”

That means that Canadian teachers have thorough experience teaching English as a second language, and know the best tips and tricks for keep students engaged in classroom exercises.
