For several years already, we have been organising an English camp at our school. It takes place in the second week of the Easter holidays and has become increasingly popular from year to year, especially with younger students. For this camp we invite native speakers from English-speaking countries to work as instructors in groups of about 13 students. The focus is on speaking in a relaxed atmosphere. This is done in activities like acting, cooking and many different games. This camp is not only great fun, but also a motivational push for learning the English language. And apart from that it is a favourable alternative to the rather costly stays abroad.
