What they say…
(Testimonials highlighted in orange link to video interviews)
The best thing about L&E is meeting people from all around the world…it’s an awesome, fun time!
Adam (12) – Israel
The amount of opportunities/ activities the children get is fantastic. I like that they are all gently persuaded (if necessary!) to have a go at everything, and are then helped to achieve and succeed even if they find something difficult. The independence they gain is invaluable.
Rachel (Mother) – Winchester, UK
I was at camp 4 times and I was at Teen Travel once and I would definitely say that the 2 months I have spent at L&E has helped me more at my English experience than my whole school, because if you talk English all day then you start dreaming in English and you don’t even think about your mother language, you become better so quickly and you improve your language so fast because you are connecting your experiences and having a good time. It’s a good way of improving your English while still having fun.
Paul (16) – Hamburg, Germany
My daughter made friends with children from other countries which she loved and is still in touch with today. The mixture of activities kept her busy and challenged.
Kathini (Mother) – BC, Canada
We just have fun and get to do what activities we want. My English has improved
Julie (14) – Paris, France
The students had the most incredible experience with L&E. I was blown away how your staff went above and beyond at every turn and the care shown to the children was second to none. They have come home with a new cultural understanding and much improved language skills but most importantly have all gained a new sense of confidence and personal understanding.
Lewis (Teacher) – English School Taiwan
When you’re out on your own in the real world you have to figure out how to get to a place or figure out how to get what you want with a certain amount of money and sometimes it might require you to work with people with different opinions. I think the most important thing about Teen Travel is that it teaches you how to solve real life problems.
Sierra (17) – Kentucky, USA
Kathleen (Grandmother) – Paris, France
As a mother, the best thing about L&E is to know that your children are incredibly well cared for.
Beatriz (Mother) – Spain
The staff are very nice and some of the kindest people I have ever met. I loved meeting new friends. The worst thing about camp was having to leave! The year that I get too old to be allowed to come back will be the worst thing ever!
Jack (11) – Harrogate, UK
An amazing experience for Kasia, and being star camper was the icing on the cake for her. The blog and photos were an excellent way for us to see what was going on and how she was doing. She was an extremely long way away from us but we never felt nervous as she was clearly so happy and well looked after, thank you.
Caroline (Mother) – New Zealand
Sam (16) – Warwick, England
What a great experience you provided for these boys!! I am sure their time over there will live long in their memory. I am all about providing a good education in the game, but also providing our players with great life experiences through soccer and last week was a good example of that. Thank you
Leonard (Group Organiser) – Chilliwack FC, Canada
L&E is a true learning experience of life. Learning & Experiencing different things together as a team, building a strong team spirit. Learning to communicate in a foreign language. And having FUN all day long
Johanna (Mother) – Finland
I was expecting that it was just a normal camp like the ones in America but it is much more. It focuses more on bonding between campers and gives everyone an opportunity to do what they want to do. L&E is truly the best camp I have been to so far. It is a great oportunity to meet new people and create genuine friendsips that you will always remember.
Victoria (14) – Washington DC, USA
Faith (Mother) – N. Yorkshire, UK
My children had a wonderful time at World Camp Canada, they came back energized, refreshed and full of great stories. We love that they were able to have a digital detox and just be kids again enjoying the environment and staying active outdoors. There were so many different activities giving them diverse experiences.
Michael (Father) – Vietnam
He told us that all birthday & Christmas money had to go towards an extended stay at L&E for next year!
Andrew (Father) – Milan, Italy
Lukas (16) – Stockholm, Sweden
Vivien enjoyed the camp so much that she is already looking forward to going back next year!
Shirley (Mother) – Vancouver, Canada
The trip has had a huge impact on the children. One of the children’s teachers told me she found they had lots of confidence and their story writing in particular was showing signs of massive improvement. Their attitude to work has really improved.
Jackie (Group CoOrdinator) – Gibraltar Dyslexic Support Group
Maya had the time of her Life with L&E ! She keeps talking about the camp every day !
Valerie (Mother) – Paris, France
Our son found you all caring and creative and thanks to you he came back carrying some lifetime memories. Also, I will never forget how supportive you were when we had to change our original booking the last minute. I intend to recommend your camp to everyone.
Zoe (Mother) – Athens, Greece
This is the second summer and I can say that each year is even better than the last! It is the best Summer Camp in the world!
Iranzu(12) – Spain
All the staff at L&E engaged with our son and brought him out of his shell to enable him to become an independent, confident young man with a curiosity and interest in other cultures. Thank you, L&E.
Bev (Mother) – Durham, UK
We are learning and experiencing a lot and make friends for life.
Beatriz (17) – Frankfurt, Germany
I just wanted to say an enormous thank you to you and the team for the wonderful trip. I had a superb time and learnt so much about your camps and how they help young people to develop. As a teacher that was a great thing to be part of and I hope to take lots of ideas back into school. The pupils have been raving about the trip and they really got so much more out of it than I think they were anticipating. I was very touched by the fact that all of them wanted to stay for longer and are already asking about when they can go again.
Ciara (Teacher) – St Brigids
Charlie really developed his confidence and self esteem and had a great week
Emma (Mother) – London, UK
Shawnigan was awesome! The kids had a great time in a safe environment, they made new friends.
Paolina (Mother) – Mexico
Yvonne (Mother) – Amsterdam, Netherlands
Just thank you, wholeheartedly. This means so much to Natty, and myself. Opening up experiences and opportunities that otherwise would not be available. I know she will remember this for the rest of her life, these experiences have shaped her, made her think about the world in new ways, and about life beyond the UK. We both feel incredibly lucky that she has been able to enjoy L&E.
Christie (Mother) – Manchester, UK
We were unsure what to expect but I think the shift from being daunted to being enchanted was a fairly swift one for Pearl. “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” added Pearl!
Henry (Father) – Manchester, UK
I now have friends from all over the world!
Alice (12) – Rome, Italy
The reliability in your way of working with the children. Year after year the children look forward to spending weeks with you and you keep surprising them. They are more confident and they feel great experiencing the L&E factor and talking in English
Isabel (Mother) – Granada, Spain
Aune (16) – Helsinki, Finland
Truly, the experience that my girls had at Camp Canada was really life changing for them and very affirming. They’ve had a lot of transition recently and I think that their camp experience was just what they needed to feel really confident and positive. Thank you Sam for creating such an incredible camp experience and culture
Sarah (Mother) – Newcastle, UK
My wife and I would like to thank all you provided for Aidan. 2 days after Aidan returned from England, we found that there is big change from him. More polite, better eye contact while listening to us and take care the others.
Stanley (Father) – Hong Kong
It has improved Michael’s overall confidence and behaviour and it’s noticed by everyone once he returns home. He learns so much. Gaining confidence in activities he would never try or contemplate in the past.
Laura (Mother) – UK
Melissa (15) – BC, Canada
Travis had the most amazing time and has learned that he can do more things himself than needing us to do them for him. His independence has grown. He loved the activities and spending the time with other likeminded children. We had no idea things like this existed in the UK and this is a chance that our kids should all be able to take up. Meeting new friends and spending time doing new activities. Travis particularly enjoyed the sports side of things.
Kerry (Mother) – York, UK
Thank you for all your efforts to put together a great week for the girls. They all came back inspired and ready for the upcoming season.
Glenn (Head Coach) – Tzeachten FC, Canada
