River Echo Language School:
River Echo Language School is located on Wakefield Bay in the heart of the Gatineau Hills, just 25 minutes north of Ottawa in Quebec. We are a small school (max. 20 Students) offering intensive English language training in small groups. The area is ideal for both winter and summer activities, yet Canada's capital city Ottawa is only 20 minutes away - with theatres, galleries, sports, shopping malls and more. Most of our students are mature and active individuals who like the outdoors and seek active communication with the local residents.

Winter English Programs:
River Echo offer one-week seasonal programs in winter and summer. The winter program consists of 15 hours of English language training and 4 activities from the following list:

- X-country skiing
- Downhill skiing
- Ice fishing
- Snow shoeing in the woods
- An afternoon on a dog sled or ski-doo
- Exploring the Laflèche Caverns
- A traditional sleigh ride
- Making maple syrup
- A day in Ottawa

Students will be accompanied by a member of the River Echo staff on each activity they attend.

Homestay Accommodation:
We recommend that our students stay in a Canadian Home. To make the fastest progress with your language studies, you want to be immersed in the language and the culture - 24 hours a day. We have a long list of possible homestay options and aim to place our students with the host that will best suit their needs.
