A busy summer in Canada for children and teens at Tamwood Camps
A chance to visit the main attractions of Vancouver and Toronto, improve your English and make friends from all over the world.
Summer camp is a great chance for children and teenagers to spend their vacations useful and interesting, socialize with peers, make new friends and visit interesting places. It is triply more interesting and useful if it is a summer camp in Canada with excursions to Canadian metropolitan areas, children from all over the world and English lessons!
This year, Tamwood College joined our partners ILAC Education Group. This means Tamwood's summer camps are now available to ILAC clients and we have the opportunity to help you send your children there.
