Quest International Language Camp - there's no better place to study English!

Quest International Language Camp, ideally located in the town of Squamish in British Columbia, one of the most spectacular and pristine natural settings in the world, combines the best features of an outdoor language camp with exciting city exploration.

Campers take advantage of the new and modern university facilities for sports and other pursuits, while excursions into both Vancouver and Whistler showcase the best west coast Canada features. Come, take part in this high quality language programme in a spectacular mountain setting!

Facilities: Our campers live divided by age and gender in condo-style residence-rooms, each with two bedrooms. As four students share one suite, two students are accommodated per room. Camp staff also stays on the same residence floor, ensuring that an adult is available at all times. Each suite contains living space, kitchenettes and study space as well as two full ensuite bathrooms. Meals are served in the school dining hall with a choice of meal options including an open salad bar.

Our students receive three 1-hour activity periods three afternoons weekly and can select their activities from a variety of sports and outdoor activites as well as specialty programming and excursions at the beginning of each week. All activities are instructed and supervised by dedicated camp staff.

Each Sunday, students have the opportunity to travel as a group off campus to enjoy some of the natural beauty inherent to Canada's west coast, e.g. by hiking up the various mountain paths or enjoying a swim in a pristine lake.

Placement testing upon arrival on the first full day of programme ensures that students are in the most-appropriate language level.

Our Staff: The high quality of our language, sports and activites programme is further augmented by our staff of sensitive, dedicated and professional instructors and counselors. They truly care about each student and ensure that students receive the attention and care needed to make their stay great.
