Description

Fun, real-life practice for English learners. Campers study English in the morning and put it into practice in the afternoon activities to make it real. The camp is always trying to provide campers with a positive experience that is balanced both mentally and physically.

Campers Profile

Boys and girls

All age groups

Open to kids from 8 years old to 15 years old.

All English levels

Kids with NO English experience ~ Fluent English speakers

Some kids may not speak any English and that is OK, our team of professionals are all Japanese speaker and will make your child feel comfortable while encouraging to learn English.

Some kids are already learning English but want to improve and still need some support in Japanese. Some kids are already fluent in English and are here to make the best of the English activities and socialize with other kids. For fluent speakers, more activities will replace English classes in the morning.

Regardless of their English level, many kids feel more comfortable starting to learn or using what they already know outside of the school classroom. After the camp, kids go back home and school with great interest and motivation to learn and improve. 

Kids are organized by age groups and English levels for classes and activities

Age groups are usually as follow: 8 to 10, 10 to 12, and 13 to 15 years old
