Summer in adventure mode
If your child prefers a lake to a console, Canada is their camp. Summer here is lived outdoors: sunrise canoeing, forest trails, climbing, kayaking, camping nights under starry skies. Canadian camps have perfected this formula over generations, with expert monitors and exquisite safety standards.
All wrapped in that Canadian kindness that makes kids feel at home within two days — even 6,000 km from home.
English (and French, if they want)
Immersion is total: the camps I propose host very few Spanish speakers and mix internationals with Canadian kids. And Canada offers something unique: bilingual English-French programmes in francophone areas.
Comparing summer destinations? See the USA for the classic camp or Ireland to stay closer. Thinking big? The school year in Canada is among the best there is.
