Malvina Language and Creativity Centre has long tradition in the organization and conducting of summer camps based on original authors programmes. Our offer for Summer Holidays 2023 is a boutique practical English language summer camp for teenagers aged 13-15.

Why is the camp called “practical”?

During the camp the teenagers will have the opportunity to use English for live communication in real time during doing real-life practical activities. For example: cooking, sewing, decorating and other creative activities alongside the language programme.
