Students will spend the excursion days practising their English skills in real-life situations, exploring new places and forging new friendships. Immersing themselves in English in a more informal environment reinforces the vocabulary and structures already learned, and allows students to increase their fluency, accuracy and pronunciation outside of the classroom. Students will be accompanied by camp staff and a packed lunch will be provided.
