Eli Camps designs and delivers high-quality summer programs for children and teenagers from around the world in Montréal, Canada.
Our Montréal program combines English or French language learning, cultural experiences, educational visits, activities and excursions to create a complete international summer experience.
Montréal provides an exceptional environment for language learning. As one of Canada’s most culturally diverse and internationally recognized cities, it gives students the opportunity to experience both French and English within everyday Canadian life, while discovering the history, culture and energy of one of North America’s most unique cities.
Our Montréal program welcomes students from 12 to 17 years old, with programming designed around two age groups:
Our programs are all-inclusive in nature, allowing us to take care of students throughout their experience — from the moment they arrive at the airport until the moment they leave Montréal.
PROGRAM OPTIONS
Our Montréal summer program is available in two formats.
Students can choose our residential/live-on-campus program, where they live together in a university residence and experience campus life while being supported and supervised by the Eli Camps team.
We also offer a day program for students who arrange their own accommodation or are staying with family or friends in Montréal.
LANGUAGE PROGRAM - JUNIORS AGES 12 - 13
Our Junior Language Program offers students the opportunity to study English or French while experiencing Montréal beyond the classroom.
The program combines classroom instruction with educational visits and activities throughout the city and includes 15 language lessons per week, Monday to Friday.
All Eli Camps teachers are qualified to teach English and/or French in Canada. Regular classes have an average of approximately 15 students, and we offer five proficiency levels, from beginner to advanced.
Our approach for younger students emphasizes practical, hands-on and activity-based learning. The objective is not simply to study a language, but to encourage students to communicate, participate and become increasingly confident using it.
LANGUAGE ASSESSMENT AND PLACEMENT
On the first Monday of their program, students complete a written and spoken assessment in their chosen language.
When creating classes, we consider three important factors:
This helps us create balanced international classrooms where students are comfortable learning while being encouraged to communicate in their chosen language.
LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
Junior students attend three language classes per day, Monday to Friday.
Educational visits and activities are incorporated into the weekly program and connected, whenever possible, to what students are learning in class.
This gives students an opportunity to see, experience and use what they learn. In Montréal, the classroom extends into the city itself.
LANGUAGE PROGRAM - SENIORS AGES 14 - 17
Our Senior Language Program is offered in English or French and includes 20 lessons of language instruction per week, Monday to Friday.
All Eli Camps teachers are qualified to teach English and/or French in Canada. Regular classes have an average of approximately 15 students, with five proficiency levels available from beginner to advanced.
On the first Monday of their program, students complete a written and spoken language assessment. Class placement considers:
Our goal is to create an international classroom environment where students are challenged academically while having plenty of opportunities to communicate and interact in their chosen language.
DAILY CLASSES
Senior students attend four classes per day, Monday to Friday.
The first three classes focus on the core areas of language developments
The fourth class is an elective, designed to take language learning beyond traditional classroom instruction and encourage students to communicate, collaborate and think creatively.
Elective options include Journalism and Debate Club.
Journalism
The Journalism elective introduces students to the fundamentals of writing articles, interviewing, storytelling and communicating information effectively. Students have the opportunity to contribute to our weekly Eli Camps newsletter, which shares program highlights, schedules, student stories and experiences with students, families and partner agencies.
Working together with their teacher, students develop content while putting their language skills into practice through a real and meaningful project.
Debate club
Our Debate Club encourages students to think critically, organize ideas, communicate and debate in their chosen language.
Inspired by international and UN-style discussions, students explore relevant global topics, including themes connected to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Through structured discussions and debates, students strengthen their vocabulary, speaking confidence, critical-thinking skills and ability to express and defend their ideas.
EXPLORE MONTRÉAL
Trips, activities and excursions are an essential part of the Eli Camps Montréal experience.
Montréal is a city unlike any other in Canada. Its combination of French and English influences, European character, Canadian identity, multicultural neighbourhoods, history, architecture, festivals and modern city life makes it an extraordinary environment for international students.
We want our students to experience more than Montréal’s famous attractions. Throughout the program, they discover its neighbourhoods, landmarks, universities, parks, museums, cultural spaces and everyday life.
These experiences are not simply sightseeing. They are an important part of the program and another opportunity for students to communicate, discover and learn outside the classroom.
For us, language learning does not end when class finishes — the city becomes part of the classroom.
We call it Exploring.
We lead it. You enjoy it.
