In addition to constant training of language skills, we pay great attention to the development of the personal qualities of the camp participants and the formation of a positive emotional atmosphere in the group. Every evening in a game form we involve children in activities aimed at developing communication skills, revealing leadership potential and acquiring skills in working in a group.
