skills post 1

Hello Everyone, I am the blogger Kaysters again. Today, I would like to compare and contrast 3 different camps that I have been recommended. There are Camp Big Apple, Ranch West camp, and Head start splash camp. I would like to find a camp that is the most suitable to me by comparing all 3 camps.


-a three week intensive Academic English camp
-focuses on building vocabulary and math skills
-prepare for exams like SAT
-taught by professors that has at least a Masters degree from an American university.
-students live in dormitories


-four week camp in rural Canada
-can choose which subjects they would like to study from among;Math,Art,History,Science,Politics,World Cultures,Music,Computer Programming and literature.
-taught by recent graduates from the local University
-a home-stay situation for the duration of the camp


-five week camp located ten minutes from the beach on the island of Cebu
-international school
-local teachers with Bachelor's degrees and certificated to teach English as a Second Language
-at least one parent must accompany and provied with a small apartment

Many people might want to learn English in foreign countries. Some of these prgrams might be beneficial but some might not. The three camps are Camp Big Apple, Ranch West Camp, and Head Start Splash.

The most important thing that I valuate is whether my parents follow me or not. In contrast, the only camp that allows parents to come is the Head Start Splash. I have really bad homesickness so if I am separated with my parents for at least 2 days, I feel homesick. However, if my parents follow me, it will be okay.

The other thing is which teachers teach me. Camp Big apple has great professors which are Korean who at least got a Masters degree(some have their Doctorate)from an American university. But I think that professors who teach University students won't be able to understand elementary students' minds. On the other hand, in Ranch West camp, the classes are taught by recent graduates from the local University. This however, is not good because I think these teachers are having lack of experience so I don't think it is appropriate. Both of the camps do not have appropriate camps but Head Start Splash has local teachers with Bachelor's degrees and certificated to teach English as a Second language. They have a lot of experience and had certificated to teach English as a Second language.

I mention a lot about the length. Camp Big Apple and Head Start Splash have too short and too long amount of time. However, Ranch West Camp is not as long as Head start splash but not as short as Camp Big Apple.

For these reasons, I think that Head Start Splash camp is the most appropriate for me even though Ranch west camp had one benefit because my parents can follow and the teachers have a lot of experience and certificated to teach English as a Second language.
