Eli Camps designs and delivers high-quality summer programs for children and teenagers from around the world in Toronto, Canada.
Our programs combine English language learning, cultural experiences, educational visits, activities and excursions to create a complete international summer experience. Students improve their English while discovering Toronto, meeting young people from different countries and experiencing life in one of the world’s most diverse cities.
We welcome students from 7 to 17 years old, with programs designed around the different needs and interests of each age group:
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 Toronto.
PROGRAM OPTIONS
Eli Camps programs are available in several formats.
For our summer camps, we offer a residential/live-on-campus option for students of all ages. Students live together in a university residence, giving them the opportunity to experience campus life while being supported and supervised by our team.
We also offer a day program for students who arrange their own accommodation or are staying with family or friends in Toronto.
A limited Host Family option is also available for Senior students aged 15 and older.
ENGLISH PROGRAMS
Seniors 14 - 17 years old
Our Senior English Program includes 20 lessons of English language instruction per week, Monday to Friday.
All Eli Camps teachers are qualified to teach English in Canada. Regular classes have an average of approximately 15 students, allowing students to participate, communicate and receive individual attention from their teachers.
We offer five English proficiency levels, from beginner to advanced.
On the first Monday of their program, students complete a written and spoken English assessment. When creating classes, we consider three important factors:
Our goal is to create balanced, international classrooms where students are comfortable learning while being encouraged to communicate in English.
DAILY CLASSES
Students attend four classes per day, Monday to Friday.
The first three classes focus on the core areas of English language development:
The fourth class is an elective, designed to give students additional opportunities to use English in practical, engaging and meaningful ways.
Elective options may include IELTS Preparation, Journalism and Debate Club.
IELTS preparation
IELTS Preparation is designed primarily for higher-level students who may be considering future studies at an English-speaking university or college.. Students are introduced to the skills and strategies associated with academic English and the IELTS examination while continuing to strengthen their overall language abilities.. The elective runs for one class per day, Monday to Friday.. Sign up at registration is required. for this class
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. It is a practical project that gives students a real purpose for using and developing their English.
Debate club
Our Debate Club encourages students to think, organize ideas, communicate and debate in English.
Students explore interesting and relevant international topics, including themes connected to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Through discussion and structured debates, students develop their vocabulary, speaking confidence, critical-thinking skills and ability to express and defend their ideas — all while practicing English in an engaging environment.
ENGLISH PROGRAM - PRIMARY and JUNIOR
Primary ages 7 - 11 and Junior ages 12 - 13
For our younger students, learning English should be active, practical and fun.
Our Primary and Junior English Program combines classroom learning with educational visits and activities throughout Toronto.
Students receive 15 lessons of English language instruction per week, Monday to Friday.
All Eli Camps teachers are qualified to teach English in Canada, and regular classes have an average of approximately 15 students.

LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
Primary and Junior students attend three English classes per day, Monday to Friday.
The classroom experience emphasizes practical, hands-on and activity-based learning appropriate to the students’ ages.
But learning does not stop when the class ends.
Educational visits and activities are incorporated into the weekly program and connected, whenever possible, to what students are learning in class. Toronto itself becomes part of the learning environment.
This gives students an opportunity to see, experience and use what they learn, helping English become something they live rather than simply study.
EXPLORE TORONTO
Trips, activities and excursions are an essential part of the Eli Camps experience.
Toronto is one of the world’s most multicultural cities, and we want our students to experience much more than its most famous attractions. Throughout the program, students discover its neighbourhoods, landmarks, culture, history, diversity and everyday life.
From major attractions and museums to parks, neighbourhoods, sporting events and cultural experiences, our activities are designed to help students discover the city while continuing to interact and communicate in English.
For us, this is an important part of language learning. English is not limited to the classroom — the city becomes part of the classroom.
We call it Exploring.
We lead it. You enjoy it.
Eli Camps hosts its programs in the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Our summer home is at the University of Toronto, downtown campus
