Edward International Academy of Canada provides a summer camp for students to study abroad for a short time. During the two weeks, students not only enhance their English ability but also gain self-confidence through communication, interaction and cooperation with peers.
In ESL classes, the activities help students to improve their critical thinking, creativity, teamwork, and leadership. Additionally, local Canadian students are invited to join the program in order to allow the campers to closely experience Canadian culture and life.
Summer camp also provides flexible outdoor activities. A boat tour to charming Lake St. Clair on a luxury yacht; Visit the beautiful town of Wallaceburg with Mr. Mark, the director of Edward International Academy security department; Listen to fire knowledge presentation; Visit the radio station; Experiences of horseback riding and golf course. These new experiences enable students to have a deeper experience of Canadian culture and local life while having a lot of fun.
Under the guidance of the teachers, the students visited most of the Canadian famous scenery, such as the Royal Ontario Museum, Niagara Falls, Notre-Dame Basilica, and Parliament Hill of Ottawa, the capital of Canada. Numbers of top universities are included within the tour: the University of Toronto, Brock University, McMaster University, and Western University. Each university has its own distinguishing feature. After those universities’ visiting, most of the students start to plan their future, which is a good thing, because once a goal is planned, they will work hard on it and this is very hard to be learned in class. This program helps the students have a good understanding and the direction of their future study. The teacher also arranged some tasks, such as hotel check-in and check-out, ordering food, or buying parking tickets, etc. The practical activities strengthened students’ communication skills with native speakers.
Students spent three-day camping in Pinery Park which is the largest and famous camping base in Ontario. The forest supplies students with a natural and pristine outdoor environment. Watching the sunset and playing on the beach, having a campfire party, visiting a reptile show, which helped students enjoy exploring the mystery of knowledge in nature.
At the graduation ceremony, Mrs. Susan Hera, the principal of our school, presented each student with a graduation certificate of Edward International Academy summer camp. Our teachers and psychologist conducted assessment and instruction to help students develop an understanding of their own, to meet their true selves. During the summer camp, students learned how to get along with people, which makes them get spiritual wealth and become successful in the future.
After the graduation ceremony, the students and the principal planted an apple tree on the campus, symbolizing each student’s success in their future, and we are looking forward to meeting with the students again at Edward International Academy.
