At American Village Camps, everything we do is done to promote the integration of the English language. Each day, we put into place activities for all learning styles (Auditory, Visual, Read/Write, and Kinaesthetic).
The organization of each day follows a standardized schedule that we call A Typical Day. This allows information to flow.
English classes provide vocabulary and grammar for the activities of the day. They also allow for the counselors to follow a camper's progress, through more structured classroom work.
Activities allow for the application of learned vocabulary, present cultural notions in a fun way, as well as reaching other developmental goals - teamwork, personal development, physical activity, outdoor time and overall well-being.
This organization, conducted in immersion, assists and reinforces learning. The student hears and uses words repeatedly throughout the day.
