COOL OFF 2023: THAI WISHES
Each year Cool Off takes us around the world to learn about new cultures, that way the students immerse themselves in the English language and a new culture too. This year the students will journey to Thailand, full of beautiful landscapes and fantastic animals. What’s more, they will meet the kind and cheerful people who live there.
Throughout the week, each group will live endless adventures with one objective: discovering everything this wonderful culture has to offer. To gain firsthand experience, the children will have to dedicate all their energy and work as a team to complete the challenges they will be tasked to complete: an adventure through the forests in Thailand, nighttime games, water challenges, traditional sports such as Sepak Takraw... By the end of the week, they’ll be authentic Thai experts!
What other activities never fail in Cool Off?
We never stop at Cool Off camps. From the moment we get up until we go to sleep, we do all kinds of activities: excursions, sport, traditional games, songs, dances... and every day we take a dip in the pool! We have a lot of surprises in store:
- Staff Performance: our favourite camp leaders bring to life the characters of a wonderful play
- Inside Out: exercises related to the chosen theme to continue practising English in small groups, but in a completely different environment!
- Night Out: the groups spend the night under the stars surrounded by nature.
- Themed dinner: group dinner based on Thai culture, followed by an evening of dancing for all participants.
Our method
We use our very own Kids&Us Natural English method, of course!
We continue to develop language skills thanks to our equipment and material specially designed for Cool Off camps. Every day, the children use their travel notebooks and spend an hour improving their English in a more individualised way with the camp leader. Furthermore, by sharing their living space 24/7, the children are exposed to natural English and can work on typical everyday expressions.
Our camp leaders
We have a team made up of young people, with experience and training in the Kids&Us world, involved in the project and, most importantly, with a clear vocation for teaching. They all have a level of English equivalent to the Proficiency.
