Summer camps mainly held in Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom are short-term study abroad programs for 7 to 17 years old that combine English classes with outdoor activities and tourist attraction trips.

Students at the Junior Summer Camp are participating in the program by staying in a university dormitory where field staff are stationed 24/7. Normally, summer camps have classes on weekday mornings, trips and activities in the afternoon, and full-day trips on weekends.

Here are some of the summer camps Life Journey confidently recommends.

Last year, I attended the Eli Camps summer program for two weeks.
Students came from various countries such as China, Philippines, Italy and Mexico. Therefore, everyone communicated in English, which is not their first language. I think this is one of the interesting things about this camp. The two weeks  that I spent with children from various cultural backgrounds in an international environment has become my irreplaceable experience.
Also, I also enjoyed excursions that I went throughout the camp. I went to CN Tower, Niagara Falls, and an amusement park.
There are classes on weekdays, and classes were divided to suit every student’s English level.
Surrounded by friendly staff and teachers, I really enjoyed learning a lot.
Although it is a difficult time now, I hope you also have a chance to gain this memorable experience!
