Our young volunteers share their summer camp experiences

1. Meet Jennifer, Who Had The Chance to Discover Dublin

How did your programme go?

I only spent a week in Dublin, but my afternoons at summer camp were simply incredible.

And the classes?

I loved the atmosphere in class, and all the teachers were so friendly, especially my assigned teacher. The best thing is that the classes aren’t too big. Thank you for such a great experience!

Anything else to add?

I learned a lot of new things that are different from what we see in German schools, but just as interesting and closer to reality! Thank you for this wonderful week in Dublin.

2. Participant Experiences in English Courses in England

The first one recounts

After just a few weeks in the English course, my English has improved so much! I’ve expanded my vocabulary and feel much more confident speaking. Anyone who wants this experience should definitely join a course here

The second participant was just as enthusiastic

Even though I was only in the English course for two weeks, my spoken English improved a lot. Everyone was so friendly that I felt comfortable in class and confident to speak up.

3. Now it’s Kristina’s turn to tell us about her camp in Malaga

Any feedback on your experience?

I’m so happy I chose this programme in Málaga! The team is incredibly professional and welcoming. The teachers use interactive, fun methods that make learning even more enjoyable. The afternoons are filled with activities where you can explore the culture, visit important places, and further improve your language skills.

Would you encourage others to participate too?

I recommend it 100% to everyone! I can’t wait to go back to this incredible school!

Multi-week and overseas camps are especially well suited for teens who are emotionally ready to spend time away from home while still benefiting from a structured and supervised programme.

What types of teen summer camps are there?

Popular teen summer camps include adventure camps, surf camps, marine conservation projects, sports camps, language immersion programmes, wildlife conservation, volunteering, and cultural exchange experiences.

What is a summer camp?

A summer camp is an organised programme designed to provide children and teens with recreational, educational, and social experiences during the summer months.
