ESL Summer Camps

ESL Summer Camps for Kids & Teens

ESL summer camps, also known as English as a Second Language summer camps, train elementary, middle, and high school students in the basics of English speaking, reading, and writing. ESL summer camps are a great way for international students to sharpen their language skills and make friends with peers who are going through the same experience. Through training by teachers, educators, and professionals, ESL summer camps give boys, girls, and teens the confidence and learning skills necessary to effectively adopt the English language.

Ages, Tuition, and Session Length at ESL Summer Camps

Overnight ESL summer camps typically welcome students between the ages of 7 and 18. Campers are traditionally grouped by age and grade level to maximize learning and social opportunities.

Sleep-away ESL camps typically run 1 week, 2 week, 3 week, and 4 week sessions. Costs vary considerably by program, location, instructors, and facilities and can range anywhere from $250 to $1,250 per week. Most ESL summer camps are hosted at college or university campuses, with some held at traditional summer camps.

Choosing the Best ESL Summer Camp

There are many important questions that families should consider when choosing an ESL summer camp. Where are students housed? Is the camp more geared to helping students get ahead or catch up? What native language do instructors speak? What type of certification do teachers and instructors hold? Is the camp purely academic, or are other activities available to campers? Does the program offer credit that can be attributed to high school or college?
