Following the success of the French interaction camps for secondary school students, this summer Gort Ard Study Centre, Salthill, Galway, is adding a Spanish camp. The camps are a unique blend of language teaching and activities, together with French or Spanish students. Students can attend weekly, on a daily or residential basis.
French camps will take place in June and Spanish camps will take place in July. These camps are an exciting and really enjoyable way of making progress in language learning. With separate language classes in the mornings and joint activities in the afternoons and evenings, the day is full with a variety of activities and experiences. Emphasis is placed on communication skills.
Getting to know French or Spanish students of the same age is a great help in getting a real feel for their language and culture. Friends are made who keep in touch afterwards and quite often there are invitations to visit their homes. Sports include soccer, basketball, volleyball, and tennis, with lots of outward bound activities and visits to adventure centres.
