Combining fun activities with language learning leads to an unforgettable summer school experience

Top summer camps are designed to improve English skills in just a few short weeks. But when expert classroom instruction is combined with fun activities and trips, kids don’t just develop their language skills – they make new friends from all over the world and build memories that will last a lifetime.

Here’s a look at how Destination Canada ensures your child gets the very most out of the ESL summer camp experience, both inside the classroom and out!

Intensive English Summer Classes Help Kids Learn English Fast

Whether you enroll your child in Destination Canada for two weeks, three weeks, or four weeks, you’ll notice a significant improvement in their language skills after they’ve completed their program.

Our approach ensures each student is completely immersed in the world of English language. At Destination Canada, students complete 25 hours of English instruction per week, with morning sessions that provide technical instruction – and afternoon classes that focus on hands-on practise, so students can apply what they’ve learned.

Your child’s level of English is carefully assessed before the start of their summer program, so that instructors will know which areas need the most attention. From that point on, students’ progress is monitored and supported at every stage to ensure success.

This rigorous and carefully measured approach makes it possible for kids to dramatically improve their English language competency in a very short amount of time.

After-class ESL Summer School Activities are both Fun & Effective

Of course, learning doesn’t stop once students step outside the classroom. In fact, part of what makes ESL summer camp so fun and effective is that activities outside class include language practise too.

At Destination Canada, kids can bike along the historic Rideau Canal, see the light and music show on Parliament Hill, and even visit local beaches and waterparks during evenings and afternoons.

Each of these activities is carefully supervised by an experienced instructor, and all communication takes place in English. This way, students get comfortable speaking in English both inside and outside of class – a crucial skill that helps build confidence and fluency.

Fun Weekend Activities Continue to Reinforce Language Learning

When students can apply lessons they learn in class, they feel more motivated to learn. That’s why classroom teachers at Destination Canada plan their lessons with weekend activities in mind.

Before students visit Upper Canada Village, for example, they’ll learn about Canadian history and explore new vocabulary that relates to the topic.

This approach makes each trip more meaningful, while helping students understand important concepts more easily, and remember them in the long term.
