OUR CAMP LEADERS & COUNSELORS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES
“ I always thought that a language is the most important tool for building bridges and connecting with people. My main goal for camps for friends is to provide children with a tool that will have a significant impact on their lives and interactions in the future.“ – Sofia, 22
„I have been working with children of all ages for 9 years and it is for sure one of the best gifts in life. Every winter I am waiting for a new camp season to start as Camps for friends is the absolute highlight of each summer! Unforgettable Memories, fun activities, and genuine happiness of the children just warm my heart.“ – Dima, 22
„Camps for friends is the type of camp where you can actually see the progress the kids make over the course of a week. It’s heartwarming to see the kids gain confidence and the ability to express themselves in a foreign language. As a person who as a kid went often to language camps, this is a great way for me to give back and help a new generation of kids fall in love with language learning.“ – Josefina, 26
