Teen Winter Camp in Vancouver & Toronto
Tamwood Winter Teen Camp is a program specially designed for young students who are interested in learning English and enjoying excursions, winter sports, and fun activities during the beautiful Canadian winter.
The camp offers the same high-quality instruction and organization that has made Tamwood famous around the world. Our English instructors are university-trained teachers who have extensive experience working with young people and all activities are led by qualified and caring staff.
Students have English lessons in the mornings and take part in different sports, social, and sightseeing activities in the afternoon and evenings. Students can live with a Canadian family or in a self-arranged accommodation with their parents, relatives, or friends.
Vancouver
Experience Vancouver in the winter! While the city of Vancouver rarely gets snow (the average daytime temperatures range from 0-10° celsius) the mountains nearby get a lot of snow, making it the perfect spot to learn to ski or snowboard. The program offers English classes, sports, recreational and cultural activities and exciting excursions, including snow tubing, snowshoeing, and a day trip to Whistler. Accommodations include homestays, giving students the chance to experience life with a Canadian family.
