GO BACKJunior English - non-residential
Having fun, playing sports, doing arts and crafts and a scavenger hunt in the forest – this camp promises 100% fun. And you’ll be learning English whilst having fun, too – how cool is that?
Don’t worry if you have not started learning English at school yet. We assume that you still need to learn the basics. With a little help from your new friends and the camp coaches, you will be speaking your first sentences in English in no time at all.
We do encourage you to speak English, but you are allowed to chat in Dutch with the other children. The camp coaches do talk in English all the time, so you’ll soon pick it up.
Activities
- Cool language workshops which focus on speaking and trying your best. Themes include animals, clothes, colours, sports and – of course – you and your family! You will be having so much fun that you will hardly realise that you are speaking English.
- Creative workshops such as arts and crafts, Lego Masters, party workshop, print your own t-shirts, a bake-off etc.
- Playing a big game or doing sports outside surrounded by greenery
- A fun outing to the Blaarmeersen, the Puyenbroeck recreational park or the LAGO Rozebroeken swimming pool complex.
Discovery – partial immersion
At these camps for beginners, you are still allowed to speak in your mother tongue with other participants. The group leaders will use the target language (e.g. French during a French camp) throughout the camp, while helping you to learn as many new words and sentences as possible. To make sure that everyone can follow along easily, each day features a ‘bilingual moment’, when the activities will be explained in both the target language and your mother tongue. During playful language workshops, you will be divided into small groups according to your level. The focus on language continues throughout the other activities as well, however. As your knowledge of the target language grows, we will increasingly challenge you to speak the target language, thus ensuring that you will learn how to express yourself more confidently by the end of the week.
