Camps to learn English abroad

When choosing a camp for our child to learn English we must know all the possibilities that are offered to us. On the one hand, we have the English camps, which are organized in Spain, and which are aimed at Spanish children. They are an ideal way for children to spend their vacations among nature, playing and having fun, and it is also one of the best ways to enhance the learning of English. On the other, there is the option of sending the child abroad to a camp with native children in the English language.

English camps for children abroad

There are other options when it comes to preparing children's vacations, and in addition to enhancing much more the learning of English, so well gives the child another set of benefits that we will see more ahead. These are the camps that are organized internationally for children in Europe. You can find different destinations within Europe, although the system of these camps is very similar to traditional camps, has a clear advantage in language learning.

The biggest drawback to learning English in a Spanish camp is that all children speak the same language, which makes it impossible to achieve total immersion in English, compared to European camps where the classmates usually speak a different language. what the children themselves are forced to speak in English to be able to play with their new friends.

In the camps abroad, to improve the learning of English, the usual practice is to bring together children from different countries in the room, as well as in the work and play groups where the nationalities and languages will be mixed, forcing them to all speak the common language English.

With this, what they achieve is not only that the ratio of time that children are exposed to English increases, but that the time they talk to their new friends is much more valuable even than when they are with the monitors, since for a child It is much easier to learn a language by playing with another child than by listening to an adult.

In addition to the benefit of knowing different cultures to ours from so close, which will make the child more sociable and tolerant in the future.

Foreign camps for children

Another option we have is to enroll the child in a camp for English children, where no other child may speak Spanish, it is the way that will help the learning the most. Although to consider this option we must take into account:

1. That the child has an adequate level of English at least to say what he needs.
2. We must make sure that someone responsible speaks Spanish.
3. That the child is very sociable and very forward.

The registration can be easily done through the internet. It is essential to speak with them before enrolling them and to inform us perfectly about who they are and how they work. A good advice to get information is to provide us with an email from former campers so they can tell us their experience. If the camp works properly, they will have no problem contacting families who have brought the child there before.
