Village Camps has over the years ingeniously crafted language-learning programmes designed to fully engage the campers. An exciting range of projects, tasks, quizzes, competitions and games inspires the interest and ensures the involvement of every camper.
Emphasis is on gaining confidence and improving vocabulary so that they acquire fluency, engage in conversation and develop the skills and confidence to make a presentation to an audience. Campers learn from new material that takes them outside their usual comfort zone while stimulating their interest, providing them with new skills. Campers enjoy learning to speak together in class and in camp with native speaking campers.
