Saint Peters University Summer Camp
Description of Saint Peters University Summer Camp
Saint Peters University was founded in 1872, an educational institution specializing in humanities and arts. The campus occupies about 25 acres in the heart of Jersey, just few minutes from vibrant New York: here students can find everything they need for both studying and recreation after class. The center of the "Big Apple" can be reached by electric train, the journey will take only about 20 minutes. Probably, no city on the planet can compare with New York: in addition to traditional religious attractions (the Empire State Building, Times Square and others), it contains a great variety of opportunities for learning, recreation, business, cultural and educational leisure. For each student there is a job and an occupation for the soul - in his spare time here is not boring.

SUMMER CAMP
- Age: 12-19
- Duration: from 1 week
The English language program is designed for international students (students from all over the world) and takes a period during the summer holidays. Duration can be from 1 to 6 weeks, depending on the desire, capabilities and academic requirements of the student. Each week, the students expect 15 diverse language classes: lessons are held in small groups of 15 people maximum, so that each student can count on the attentive attitude of the teacher, comprehensive support and motivation. Classes are formed in such a way that students from all over the world are studied in them, and the opportunity to communicate in their native language within the class is minimized. Thus, students quickly overcome the language barrier, constantly practice communicative and speech skills, learn to think in English. The lessons are conducted in the interactive format, the method of role games and situations is used - the emphasis of the course is on the development of speech and communication skills. In each class with the students there is an experienced teacher who confirmed his high qualification and EFL certification.
Studying sessions for summer courses are held from Monday to Friday, three academic hours per day. Each lesson is divided into two blocks:

Review about Saint Peters University Summer Camp
Great camp, really enjoyed the summer program with dancing and acting.
First, we chose this university for the summer camp, and then we found out that they have several options for summer shifts. We liked dancing and dramatic art.
We were very pleased with the course ( two weeks): everything was interesting, the entertainment events did not repeat, every day they thought out something new. Cozy rooms with excellent interior. Many fruits in the diet, which is an additional plus.
Of course, the European camps are slightly more accessible (especially at ticket prices), but the daughter looked at the legendary New York: there were a lot of excursions, we went to different parts of the city (of course, all with guides, escorts, on branded buses etc.).
