Learn English & Grow in Faith
Immerse your children in a beautiful and fun environment where they can learn English. Native English speakers lead the camp and accompany your children all day. This immersive approach to language learning is proven to be the most effective way for children to learn a language. Vocabulary, language recognition, pronunciation, and grammar building are weaved into every part of the day, through the following activities:

Who is it For & How Much?
The program was initially created to help the Ukrainian refugee families in Poland, but everyone is welcome! The camp is specifically geared for ages 5-18. Anyone ages 14-18 with a working knowledge of English can be a camp assistant, and participate in advanced English lessons during camp.
Cost per child: 750 PLN (any age).
Note: the actual cost per child is 750 PLN (not including staff and volunteers), yet through the generosity of our donors, we are able to offer a greatly reduced cost at 100 PLN per child for families in need.
The Details
The camp runs from 9:00am – 3:00pm on weekdays. Lunch and snacks are provided.
During the weekend (August 3 & 4), campers will go hiking in local mountains on Saturday and Sunday.
The whole family is invited to join the hike and attend Mass in English on Sunday, August 4, followed by a family picnic and games at the JP2 Center.

Our Philosophy
Our English camp is based on the same principles as our other programs. Each young person is called to greatness, to become a builder of the civilization of love & truth! Even at a young age, children are capable of living greatness and ought to be built up in virtue. Children’s avenue of learning is primarily through fun and play.
Therefore all camp activities challenge and encourage campers to exercise virtue each day. As our loving God is each person’s origin and destiny, we make sure to weave faith into every day of the camp and build a team of camp leaders who radiate the love of God in their personal witness.
