Holidays

We organise summer and winter camps in Poland/Czech Republic for children and teenagers. The idea behind these camps is to combine teaching English with a variety of sports and leisure activities. Students get one hour of English a day and do a lot of activities such as self defence, playing musical instruments, vocal coaching, dance classes, swimming, skiing, team sports, hiking, discos etc. The camps are always a lot of fun, so there is a large number of returning students (some have been 5 and more!). See: camp photos and videos.
