Summer 2008
Welcome to our extraordinary camps, bursting with new
ideas in teaching English. They have been designed by
teachers from Great Britain, the USA and New Zealand
and sound incredibly exciting. During the camp you will
have dozens of lessons with your teachers who will also
spend just as many hours playing ball with you, teaching
you to do New Zealand dances and sing country and western
songs and the blues; you will learn how to put up a musical
play as well as how to do survival skills and play many
games typical for English-speaking countries. You will
go on trips, put up theatre plays and direct your own
films. All this in beautifully situated holiday centres:
in the castle at Rokosowo, the manor at Chalin and the
Geovita centre at Tleń (in the Tucholskie Forest).
Program-Bell language camps have a long tradition of
more than a dozen years and we are happy to offer new
themes and new games, which will greatly enrich your
vocabulary and fluency in English, and which will teach
you to use lots of natural-sounding phrases and expressions
in this language.
Join Program-Bell camps and program your future!

Welcome to the American Wild West
! |
A great American adventure awaits you this year at
Rokosowo! You will go back in time to the early days
of American history when brave cowboys and gold prospectors
were conquering this vast continent in their massive
move to the West. On their way they had to overcome a
multitude of dangers: clashes with Indians, attacks of
robbers on travelling stagecoaches and strange wild animals.
Cowboy films that you may sometimes see on television
recreate those times. So step into a western! The plot
is for you to create, based on true stories about Buffalo
Bill, Billy the Kid and many others that your American
teachers will tell you. You will get to know the American
West, its music and customs and will have an opportunity
to compare history with the present. This is how America
was made!

Why don't Kiwi birds fly ? |
The Chalin camp will not only give you an answer to
this question but also to any other questions you may
have about New Zealand. You will find out where this
country is situated, what kind of people live there,
what animals you can see there, what songs people sing
and what dances they do. At that camp you will be lucky
to see a film made by your peers from New Zealand about
their country and their life. Your projects will be based
on that fim and the letters the NZ children wrote to
the Polish children. You, on your part will be asked
to make a film about Poland which will in turn be sent
to your peers in New Zealand. Have fun !
