EF Language and Culture Camp in the USA

Prepare for your high school year by meeting other exchange students, learning about American culture and some different phrases. The EF Culture Camp is designed to help you get ready for your student exchange in the USA.

What you will learn

Have time to adjust to another country and American culture before meeting your host family and starting school. You will meet "professionals" - former exchange students - to hear about their experiences and ask for their advice, and you will take classes from local teachers who offer practical instructions about American life, culture and current events. Many of these teachers work as EF representatives, so you will stay in contact with them throughout your exchange.

Are you up for the challenge?

Attending a different high school and taking classes in a foreign language is a challenge, but also rewarding. It will broaden your horizons, expose you to new things and lead to personal growth. In addition, the experience will provide you with skills that will contribute to your future academic studies and career.
