More about this camp

The CES Toronto Junior Summer Centre is based on Elizabeth Street in downtown Toronto, Canada, and accepts students aged 12 to 17. Programme and activities. Students take 15 hours of English tuition per week, with afternoons given to activities and cultural visits and full-day excursions at weekends. Being downtown means the cultural programme has the city immediately to hand. Accommodation and meals. Students stay in full-board homestay accommodation with carefully selected Canadian host families, which the provider states are visited regularly to maintain standards. This is a homestay centre rather than a residential one: students travel between the family and the school each day and spend evenings with the family rather than under school supervision. Families should confirm typical journey times and how daily travel is arranged, as Toronto is a large city. What is included. Airport transfer from Toronto Pearson is included in the programme. For a transatlantic journey with a young teenager arriving in an unfamiliar country, having the transfer already arranged removes a genuine worry, and it is often charged separately elsewhere. Ages, dates and duration. The centre accepts students aged 12 to 17. Seven sessions are listed, beginning in early June, giving a wide choice of start dates. Location and travel. Toronto is Canada's largest city, on Lake Ontario. Toronto Pearson is the main international airport, and the transfer from it is included. Families should check visa or electronic travel authorisation requirements for Canada well in advance, as these differ from UK and EU requirements and are not covered here. Who the programme may suit. This centre may suit families who want an English-speaking destination outside Europe, and those attracted to Canada specifically — whether for the accent, the setting or future study plans. The included airport transfer makes it more practical for a long-haul journey than many alternatives. It may suit less well families who want residential accommodation with continuous supervision, since only homestay is offered here; CES's Oxford and Worthing centres are residential, and Edinburgh and Leeds allow a choice.
