Since 1998 we have offered one of the most exclusive language international

camps

to

students

travelling to North America. Join us this year for an unforgettable experience.

Junior Camps in Canada and the USA Every year we offer an array of unique programs designed specifically for young learners of the English language. These programs combine language studies with fun excursions and social activities, which make them the perfect choice for holiday students. Students always spend a portion of their day in an intensive language program with our dedicated, experienced and qualified team of teachers. For the remainder of the day and on weekends, students participate in sightseeing excursions, educational outings and

entertaining activities. All activities are arranged by our energetic and fun team of Activity Coordinators to enrich the students' adventures. Students are encouraged to learn independent decision-making and take part in life-skill development seldom offered in their regular school curriculum. Our multicultural camps also offer students an opportunity to meet and make friends from many other cultures and backgrounds. Taking part in one of our programs is an adventure everyone will cherish for the rest of their lives.

Sol Schools International Founded in 1996, today we operate schools in Calgary, Toronto, and Vancouver in Canada, and Miami Beach in the USA. All Sol Schools are committed to implementing the highest standards of education and training and have an enduring determination to raise the standards of language teaching across North America. Sol Schools' teachers have attained the renowned reputation of being amongst the most highly trained, creative and respected instructors within their profession.
