Summer 2010
Why Bell-Poznan language camps?
The Program-Bell language school has been organizing language camps employing native speaker teachers for years. The natural method of language teaching by means of communicating with native-born Britons, Americans or Canadians is the easiest way to master English as no textbook or teaching method can have comparable effectiveness. Our teachers from Great Britain, the USA or Canada not only are adequately qualified to teach English as a foreign language and have experience in this activity but also have lots of enthusiasm and the proper type of personality. Besides, they possess many other skills: they know rules of many sports, are musical and can play musical instruments or sing, they know how to direct a play, make a film or produce a musical. All our teachers have experience of work in other countries with children from other cultures. We are convinced that their experience will serve to enrich camps organized by our school and will give them a taste of the world polish.
Holidays in beautiful and safe places.
Program-Bell summer camps take place in beautiful, often historic buildings and in picturesque scenery of wild nature. Such surroundings stimulate children’s creativity. Additionally, all of the venues chosen represent good accommodation standards. Rooms usually have their own baths and are designed for two to five children (Łężeczki). The buildings are always surrounded with parks which act as effective barriers against noise and traffic. A special item on our agenda is to make certain that children are completely safe. All teachers including native speakers have to do a training course organized by the Board of Education to be allowed to work as camp counselors.
This summer we would like to invite children and teenagers to five centres situated in picturesque areas. They are: Sport and Recreation Centre at Łężeczki (www.lezeczki.pl), Centre for Education in Natural Sciences at Ląd (www.zielonalekcja.pl ), the castle at Rokosowo (www.rokosowo.pl ), Beniovita Centre at Tleń (www.beniovita.pl ) and Conference and Recreation Centre at Lądek Zdrój
