The camp is located in the Belgrad forest on the outskirts of Istanbul, not too far from the coast.

This assignment is ideal for people who are interested in working with children for a future career. It might be perfect for newly qualified language teachers for gap experience or a working holiday.

A big part of the programme is the drama workshop where the students learn and practise an English classic and put on a performance at the end of each session. That includes costumes, singing and dancing.

A typical day consists of English lessons and drama workshop in the morning and early afternoon, then fun activities and excursions in the afternoon. There are barbeque days and entertainment most evenings. The camp has a large swimming pool with aqua park, tennis, basketball court and gym.

Accommodation and meals are provided free of charge for selected applicants. All staff will stay in comfortable hotel accommodation, in a single, twin room or shared apartment. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and evening snacks are provided at the hotel, or packed lunch on days out. Most excursions are also free of charge.
