Summer Camps 2019
We do not need to send our children or teenagers abroad to guarantee their linguistic immersion in English. Rather the opposite. Spending a lot of money (flights, the campus itself, extra expenses, etc.) so that our children spend all day talking in Catalan or Spanish with children from their own country or mother tongue -which is what usually happens, because the companies organizing summer campuses only worry about making money and not about the students’ authentic immersion in English or their well-being – it is counterproductive. Do we want luxury trips for them, and unprofitable ones? Better go with the parents, to do tourism … To socialize and teach our children in English, having them controlled in every way, they rather stay at home.
Martin’s Ways offers a different kind of learning English, a summer camp that guarantees a linguistic full immersion to its participants and also great entertainment for children and teenagers taking part in it, and without having to move from Sant Cugat. From the areas of Physical Education, Sports and Theater, we offer diverse activities interlinked in which the learning vehicle will be the English language. We guarantee a real English immersion during this stay, without the costs and risks associated to travelling abroad, and with an authentic control that its participants will socialize in English and not in their mother-tongue languages, Spanish or Catalan.
The main goals of this camp consist of:
- Creating real-play situations where English is applied as vehicular language.
- Developing communicative skills from the areas of sport and theatrical representation.
- Learning the basic elements of a theatre play and representing a final theatrical work using English as only language.
- Improving communicative skills and knowledge of the English language.
Having always into account the importance of cognitive and motor development of the person, we also include extracurricular activities related to get to know the environment and, optionally, for those who select it, as extra, at the end of the Summer Camp, three days of leisure activities that will take one full day each, as excursions to the mountain, visits to amusement parks, activities of exploration, etc.
How is our camp?
The camp we offer is destined to make children and teens grow, in values, both sports and social ones, having in mind how every individual is, their uniqueness. The main contents of this camp are based on getting the most out of students from physical education, sports and interpretation. The main elements which we consider here are emotional education, education in values and the development of the motor-perceptual and conditional capacities of all kids and teens. And all in English, with Martin’s Ways’ teachers and monitors.
