Junior Summer Camp in Hawaii!

English Language Courses for Kids (K-STEP) and Teens (J-STEP) are offered by English Language School - Kalakaua Campus.

The school is proud to offer complete programming for children between the ages of 6-12 years old in the Kid Short Term English Program (K-STEP) and young adults between the ages of 13 - 17 years old in the Teen Short Term English Program (J-STEP).

Both programs have grown significantly in recent years, with over 300 students in the 2009 summer programs. English Language School - Kalakaua Campus provides students of all ages with quality language instruction and a fun exciting activity program.

The course is divided by age, and within the age groups we divide once again to higher and lower levels. The teachers, all of whom have extensive experience teaching ESL to kids, use games, music, drama and role-plays as well as textbook learning in the classroom.

Classes run from 9:00 am - 4:30 pm with lessons and different activities everyday.

They include swimming, hiking, soccer, archery, climbing wall, outdoor survival, camp fire, arts and crafts, and personal development. All meals and accommodation included.

Each session is Sunday-Friday. Students can register from one to four sessions from July 18 - August 13, 2010. Weekend stay over (Fri - Sun) is available for students registered in two or more sessions. Transportation from the Honolulu airport to YMCA English Summer Camp is available.

I just want to write you to thank you so much for my daughter Nadia Gullestrups (8 years old) 3 weeks stay with you last summer. I never took the time to write you, but since I am still daily reminded about her accomplishment in the school, I think I will take the opportunity now.

Before the school, she did not at all speak English. When we left she continued saying:

"No Japanese please!"

"Ninth floor going down" (probably the first child to have learned to speak English by an elevator)

and "Oh my God"

Than she started to talk to the dogs on the street "Bye, bye big dog" and than she continued to talk, talk and talk.

She and I travelled to the US and Polynesia for 4 months last year, and she still thinks that the 3 weeks spent with you was the best. As an nervous mother, I was concerned that my daughter was the only non-Japanese-speaking child in her class, but it turned out not to be a problem.

Half a year after her stay with you, she still goes on and on and on speaking English, and she does it quite well. I think your accomplishment is both to have taught her English but perhaps most to have motivated her to continuing her studying, after we left you. She really wanted it herself. So we started to read Dr. Seuss, and to talk. She herself started to write stories in English. In the beginning I was not to keen on that, since she is only in 2. grade and busy learning to write her own language Danish, and I thought she would mix it up. She did not.

So once again thank you so much for our 3 weeks with you!

Best wishes
