In our Camps we make sure you are learning while having fun. Our summer camps offer language studies, land and water sport activities, leadership training, creative and performing arts. 2, 3 or 4 week programmes are available.
In our camps you will always be busy learning something new, in the free time we make sure everyone has a good time. We offer wide range of fun evening activities: from yoga and zumba to talent shows, campfires, casino nights and many other exciting moments to have.
Our Camps are located in 3 different locations in Canada – Ontario, Toronto and Vancouver. Each of them has a unique experience to offer – a country side or in the middle of the city, but still close to the nature, we have something for you to choose from! You will have time to go on camping trips, excursions to explore the nature or the city around.
Our accommodation is usually located on the campus grounds. Kids are placed in the shared rooms separated by gender, of a similar age and we try to make the mix international to create intercultural exchange.
