English, an international spirit and city immersion between town and nature

In Vancouver, VGC runs a junior language course that allows teenagers to learn English in one of the most attractive cities on Canada's west coast. Between the ocean, the mountains and city life, the destination offers a highly stimulating setting in which to progress in English in an international, safe and dynamic environment.

The programme combines English classes, activities and excursions, with an organisation designed to help young people practise the language throughout the day. English is not confined to the classroom: it is used in group life, during the outings and at all the high points of the stay, which makes the experience more concrete and more motivating.

Vancouver also appeals through its balance between quality of life and cultural richness. Teenagers discover a large city open to the world, while keeping a supervised and reassuring framework. This combination suits families looking for a first English-speaking immersion abroad in a strong destination.

For young people, it is a useful and lively stay, in which they gain confidence while discovering Canada. For parents, it is a clear, structured and coherent option, carried by a destination that makes sense for a junior audience.

The dedicated Canadian campus has highly qualified teachers to give classes with workshops to improve communication and leadership skills.

Classes take place from Monday to Friday, for a total of 25 hours of study per week. The dedicated multilingual team looks after students' safety and wellbeing. Interactive and enjoyable excursions twice a week allow students to apply their new knowledge in practical settings.

The city of Vancouver

Located in British Columbia, Vancouver is an ideal destination for summer language courses. The city is famous for the friendliness of its inhabitants and the beauty of its natural surroundings. The Rocky Mountains tower over the city, while the Pacific Ocean borders the Vancouver peninsula. With a cosmopolitan population and a lively city centre, Vancouver offers an environment well suited to outdoor activities of every kind.

All in all, the VGC summer camp and the city of Vancouver offer teenagers an unforgettable experience of learning English in a safe, immersive and engaging environment.
