Introduction
We are excited to resume the ACS Athens Summer Youth Camp in 2021 and we look forward to continuing the tradition of so many years! The program, once again, includes innovative and appealing activities that are designed taking into account the participants’ age, interests and needs! We aim to provide quality learning opportunities through a variety of activities and a “best-fit” environment while emphasizing on the proper instruction of the English language. Due to the current global health circumstances, unlike previous years, this year ALL participants will have a set schedule; furthermore, participants in Kiddos, Juniors & Teens will have the opportunity to choose among different camps; the Sports Maniacs Camp, the Sports & Language Camp, the Sports & Science Camp and the Variety Pack Camp, with specific activities. Participants will be in predetermined groups in an effort to provide a safe and healthy environment, and they will remain in those groups all day. Our staff consists of experienced educators & instructors, each in their specific areas of expertise. They are assisted by High School student volunteers and all of them promise to provide a fun but also learning experience for all participants!
