English Holiday Camps: The Power of Language Immersion

Are you looking for a holiday camp in Geneva that combines English learning, creativity and personal development for your child?At PEP English, we organise English holiday camps during every school holiday, designed to offer far more than traditional language lessons.

Themed Camps to Learn English Differently

Our camps immerse children in rich, motivating environments entirely in English, with themes that spark curiosity and enthusiasm:

• Time Travel in Geneva

• Little Artists

• Around the English-Speaking World

• Thrive in English

Through these themes, children can:

• explore the history of Geneva without leaving the city,

• develop their creativity,

• discover cultures from across the English-speaking world,

• learn about the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while using English as a natural means of communication.

Why Does Immersion Accelerate English Learning?

Our camps are based on an immersive and personalised approach, widely recognised by educational research as one of the most effective ways for children to learn languages.

Immersion: Maximum Exposure to the Language

When a child is surrounded by English throughout the day, they:

• naturally absorb sounds, expressions and sentence structures,

• hear, understand and use English in real-life situations: games, creative activities, discussions and daily routines,

• quickly gain confidence in speaking, without pressure or fear of making mistakes.

English stops being an abstract school subject and becomes a living, practical tool.

Rapid and Authentic Progress, Even Over a Few Days

Even a short, intensive camp allows for:

• enrichment of useful, spontaneous vocabulary (introducing oneself, cooperating, playing, describing, creating),

• a visible increase in speaking confidence,

• natural language production, far more effective than memorising grammar rules.

A dense immersive environment often provides more English exposure in one week than several months of fragmented lessons.

Learning Through All the Senses for Better Retention

At PEP English, we know that children learn best when they are actively involved in their learning (“active learning”).That is why our camps include:

• artistic and creative activities,

• cooking,

• dances and games from around the world,

• movement-based and experiential learning.

Engaging the body, emotions and senses helps children retain information more effectively and stay motivated.

Much More Than Language Learning

An English immersion camp also offers:

• a boost in self-confidence,

• the development of an open and intercultural mindset,

• positive interactions with native or bilingual teachers and facilitators,

• a reduced fear of making mistakes.

Children realise that English is a tool for communicating, creating, collaborating and expressing themselves — not just for passing a test.

Long-Lasting Benefits, Even After the Camp

The benefits of an immersive camp extend well beyond the holidays:

• improved oral fluency,

• stronger motivation to continue learning English,

• more natural use of the language in everyday life.

These elements are essential for learning to remain meaningful, positive and long-lasting.
