Review about Ecole Lemania College language school
I really enjoyed the nature around the camp. We spent time outdoors, played various games, and went on picnics. Sometimes we went to the mountains, where we had an amazing view.
The teachers at the camp were responsive and friendly. They always tried to interest the students.
The camp held many activities. The most memorable for me was the trip to the museum, as I am interested in art. We also went to a water park, rafting on the river, and many other places.
I received a lot of good impressions and wonderful emotions, as well as gained new knowledge.
Thanks to SMAPSE Education for their help!
