Study English and explore the Rocky Mountains at our English summer camp in Calgary. Renowned as one of the best ESL summer programs in Canada, the Wynchemna ESL Summer Camp in Calgary offers an excellent environment to learn English.
Since 1996 we have been providing ESL students with summer cam adventure programs that make learning English fun, interactive, and effective.
Wynchemna’s philosophy is that one should enjoy acquiring a second language. We accomplish this through a combination of classroom instruction and recreational activities. Wynchemna is a total immersion programme. Total immersion means that the students are expected to speak English at all times. We encourage the students to speak English not only in the classroom, but also during the recreational activities, on the bus, in the apartments, while walking to the cafeteria, during their free time and any place where there are other Wynchemna students. This means that each participant is immersed in English throughout the day, and learns English both through formal instruction and by using English in everyday and fun activities. We realize that the students are youths and that although they are here to learn English, they are also here to enjoy themselves in a new and exciting environment, but this does not mean that they can speak whatever language they want.
We have created a list of the most common questions we get asked about our summer camp programs in Calgary. Please take the time to read through these questions before you ask a question. We have over 400 campers each summer and we keep our administration resources low to reduce costs for you so please do take the time to read here first to see if your question has already been answered.
Here is a sample schedule of the ESL Summer Camp program in Calgary. Please note that if you sign up for the 3 week course, replace week 3 with week 4.
Our programs have been highly rated by students, parents, ESL schools, agents and pretty much everyone who has participated in our programs. One of our agents, who has worked with summer camp programs since 1995 says, "I have never been involved with a program that provides such a complete learning environment for the students. I have also never seen summer camp campers have such a tough time saying goodbye. The relationships my students develop here each year are lasting and the impact of this camp is absolutely fantastic. Thank you for all you do each year. You will see me and my groups again next year. Keep up the good work."
The living accommodation is situated in the student residences in the northwest part of Calgary, one of the most attractive and suburban areas in Calgary. The students live in modern residences, share a bedroom with one other student and live in an apartment with other students from various different countries.
Just remember not to pack too much....think about the souvenirs you are going to take back home AND you really don't want to have to haul a heavy bag around an airport. You will have access to laundry and if you don't know how to use it, a teacher or counsellor will teach you.
We offer 3 and 4 week summer camp programs in Calgary starting at the end of June and running through to the end of August. Please first determine the age of the student to find the dates of the camps.
One of the most common things we hear from our students is how amazed they are at all the new things they get to try. Our camps are action packed and full of fun activities that encourage team work and cooperation amongst the students. In a very short period of time, students from cross c ultures are working and laughing together. Here is a list of some of the activities we get to do at the Calgary ESL Summer Adventure Camp.
Wynchemna's summer camp is based in Calgary, Alberta. Calgary is nestled on the flat prairie at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. This is a great city that is fast becoming one of the most powerful executive cities in Canada as a result of it's ties to the oil and gas industry.
Today, Calgary has a population of more than 900,000 inhabitants and is all over the world recognized thanks to the winter Olympic games in 1988. The city consists of various ethnic groups which play an active and important role in business. Its mountains will amaze you and its inhabitants will give you urge to return.
Nutrition and a balanced diet is a primary concern for us at our summer camps. We also make sure students are hydrated by supplying them with mountain fresh bottled water constantly throughout the day. We also have fridges in each of the residence with healthy fruit snacks and food items in case students are hungry while studying or at night.
At our Calgary summer camp campus, students are fortunate to benefit from the presence of a chef school on campus.
The safety and health of students in our program is our top concern.
Important points to note are:
we have counsellors available 24 hours a day who sleep in the student apartments
each student is automatically given medical insurance upon arrival in Canada. It is important to note that this insurance does not activate until they are in Canada and have been picked up by one of our representatives. It is also highly advised to get travellers insurance as well.
students are never left unsupervised.
girls and boys accommodation is separated and counsellors are present and available to supervise.
