WHAT PEOPLE
ARE
SAYING
ABOUT THE
ESL CAMP
I enjoyed my life here at Pickering College this summer. It was a good experience for me. I got a lot, not only the language, but also the friendship. The best part of the summer camp in my opinion was the activities. We played games and experienced different cultures. During that time, my English improved a lot and I had lots of fun. I won’t forget it. Pickering College Soccer
I really recommend coming to Pickering College for summer camp. Newmarket and Toronto are beautiful, and the programs are attractive. Pickering College is always waiting for you! – Jing, China Student Pickering College offered the best summer ESL program I’ve ever seen. Students who were afraid to speak English in the beginning became a lot more confident to express themselves after the program. Immersion really works. The school offered students an opportunity to not only learn English, but to make life-long friends, and to explore what Canada has to offer. They provided high quality support outside of academics: students connected with each other at another level when they played sports and went on field trips together. The staff genuinely cared about the students and made sure students felt at home in Canada. We would definitely recommend it to any students who want to improve their English and experience one of the best summers in their lifetime. – Joe Lu, Director of Merit Education
