Camp Focus:

Description:

Fireside Adventures is excited to provide an innovative way to deliver quality youth leadership program and ESL instruction (if applicable) to visiting international and Canadian youth, while providing a fun and truly Canadian adventure program. 

While visiting some of British Columbia’s most beautiful outdoor, rural and urban locations, youth will work closely with English instructors to improve their English. International and Canadian youth who do not require ESL support will participate in outdoor leadership training workshops. This is a blend of an ESL and leadership camp, a true international experience in British Columbia.
