+ Positive
Speaking English was taught by native speakers, there were master classes on stage speech
- Negative
There is no communication with parents in the form of photo reports, in other schools there were. There were no input and final tests in English - the result is incomprehensible. It was only a surprise that in the class they were shown the film “Call” in English and the child did not sleep well at night.
• Answer from camp
Olga, hello! Thank you for your feedback on our program. Let me introduce some explanations.
1. Usually we provide a photo report on the shift next week after its completion, so we ask you to wait a bit. This week we will send a link to the photos by email to all parents. We also post photo reports in our group in Vkontakte, where you can also see photos of previous shifts.
2. We always conduct entrance testing for all guys on the first day of the program. Since the program involves the development of colloquial communication skills in English - testing takes place orally in the form of a game. According to the test results, the child is identified in the group. We also believe that the children are in constant testing at schools and it seems to us that it is much more important to devote as much time as possible to speaking in English than to the next tests of knowledge.
3. At one of the classes, the topic of cinema was discussed. Children passed the names of cinematic genres. Horror films have also been discussed in the context of this topic. The teacher showed excerpts from films of different genres. As an example, the teacher showed an excerpt from a children's horror story for Halloween (absolutely harmless). One of the children said that he had watched the film Call and he really liked it. The children happily picked up this topic and asked the teacher to watch a passage at the break. Of course, the teacher refused them. We have good, adequate teachers who would never begin to show a real horror film to children. Also, standing up for the teacher, we inform you that for each lesson a three page lesson plan was prepared, which also provides for break activities. Upon request, we are ready to provide it to you.
4. In order to make children comfortable and to motivate them to speak English, classes are held in the form of a game. Of course, it happens that the child flirts and there are problems with discipline.
5. For an afternoon snack, we offered gingerbread cookies, cakes, bananas and tea.
6. We do not allow children to buy food during the day, as there are children who are allergic to certain food additives. There is a great danger that a child may treat a child with an allergy. For example, there was a child with a gluten allergy in your shift.
Of course, the program of this shift was not as diverse as usual in view of well-known circumstances, because of which we did not have the opportunity to visit the educational and entertainment centers of the city.
We really hope that you will give us another chance and join us for one of the following vacation programs.

+ Positive
Diverse types of activity, children have time and new knowledge to receive and actively spend time.
- Negative
All types of afternoon activities must be paid separately, as well as provide more and travel expenses for the child. In this regard, the real cost of a child’s stay in a camp full day increases many times.
• Answer from camp
Elena, good afternoon! Many thanks for your feedback!
Payment for the activities is allocated separately from the payment for the program of study, as it is convenient for some parents to pick up the child immediately after dinner, not staying on the excursion and not paying them accordingly.
We always try to inform parents about the add. payment for events in advance.
In the description of the program information that the excursion-entertainment program is paid additionally is always indicated. We also send the full cost of the program to parents before signing a contract and payment.
We are very pleased that despite the inconvenience with payment, you liked the camp. We will wait for the next shift!

Natalia, hello! Thanks for your feedback! It is unfortunate that you did not manage to communicate with the teacher. The fact that he works until 18.00 (until the end of the day). Dad took the guys only about 19.00, so they could not communicate.
I gave your request to the teachers. They will write the results of testing the guys and their recommendations for further training!
