Programming Overview
Children will naturally develop English communication skills and expand their vocabulary through full-day interactive experiences, body movement, and constant communication with camp friends and teachers. In addition, we are planning exclusive, special activities you can only experience here, such as horseback riding and arts & crafts! Why not join us for a special summer filled with the joy of learning and saying, “English is fun!” all day long?
**This program is designed for beginners—perfect for kids who are interested in English but need a confidence boost, or want to try an English environment. Our instructors will provide optimal support tailored to each child’s individual level. To help our teachers prepare the most suitable lesson content, we kindly ask you to share your child’s current English proficiency in the Google Form.
