Family Camp Summer at ILSC Vancouver

Join your children (aged 8-17) for a fun family adventure in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia.

In Vancouver, this program is awaiting approval by the Private Training Institutions Regulatory Unit (PTIRU) as a separate program; however, junior students and their adult family members can currently take the English Communication Program and add activities and optional accommodation to their learning experience.

 

Explore Vancouver’s culture and stunning natural landscapes and learn English as a family.

Vancouver’s mountains, ocean, forests, and city sights offer the perfect backdrop for a family English study adventure. Parents and kids will each join classes targeted to their age group. Planned activities, and free time offer plenty of opportunities to explore beautiful Vancouver together as a family.
