At Canadian Island they can relax, have fun, and learn English through our hands-on approach: Living English. There is no escape to absorbing bits and pieces of the English language. In fact, they don’t even notice they are picking it up as they go along. Every activity takes place in English, from songs and games to eating and getting changed for the pool! Every day is an adventure for the campers at Canadian Island!Canadian Island Summer Camp offers a cultural experience for the campers as well. They are exposed, often for the first time, to adults and other children from different cultural backgrounds and with different mother tongues. This adds yet another growing experience for children.
