As we look ahead to the new year, IH Vancouver is thrilled to announce our 2025 Winter Camp, a highly anticipated program designed for students aged 9 to 17. This camp will run from January 6 to January 31, 2025, offering a unique blend of English language instruction and leadership development. It is an incredible opportunity for students from around the world to immerse themselves in a dynamic learning environment.
What to Expect at the 2025 Winter Camp
The Winter Camp at IH Vancouver is designed to meet the needs of students at all levels of English proficiency. Our integrated skills curriculum, taught by experienced instructors, ensures that students receive high-quality language instruction while engaging in a wide range of interactive and creative activities.
Each week, students will participate in task-based lessons, where they will practice essential language skills through journaling, presentations, and creative projects like crafts. These lessons focus on developing both English communication skills and leadership qualities. Students will attend classes four days a week, providing ample classroom time to improve their speaking, listening, and overall English proficiency.
It is not just about classroom learning. The Winter Camp includes three weekly activities and field trips that allow students to explore Vancouver and enjoy exciting experiences outside of school.
