Package Tours for Adults:
We offer package tours for those who want to improve their English while traveling in another country. Mornings are devoted to English as a Second Language (ESL) study. Afternoons are spent exploring the culture, nature,
and beauty of British Columbia. Classes are taught by experienced and qualified ESL instructors. Subjects taught include Accent Reduction, Speech, Listening, Grammar, Vocabulary Development, and Reading. Afternoon activities are led by highly trained professional guides. Of course, since all activities are conducted in English, you will continue learning, even outside the classroom. We invite you to “Experience the British Columbia Lifestyle” through the eyes and ears of an English speaker!

Our Children's ESL Programs:
ORCA English Adventures offers summer and winter camps for children ages 6-12 (Junior Camp) and 13-17 (Teen Camp). We offer programs for both, students needing ESL (English as a Second Language), as well as for native speakers. One of the unique features of our youth camps is that ESL students participate in afternoon activities with non-ESL students, thus giving our international visitors an opportunity to practice English in “real-life” situations and to make Canadian friends. Summer programs combine morning classroom study with afternoon outdoor and cultural activities. Students needing ESL will attend morning ESL classes that will give them the language skills needed to participate in afternoon activities.
ESL Classes:
Our ESL classes are designed to be challenging, yet fun at the same time. Morning classes are divided into 3 fifty minute periods. Students take a Grammar and Vocabulary class, Speaking and Listening, and Reading and Writing. Of course, in all classes, students are expected to speak as much as possible to practice what they are learning. To promote language learning, we have a firm English Only policy. Students are here to learn English and we feel that this is best done by speaking English all the time.

* 15 hours of classroom English language training per week
* a maximum of 12 students per class allowing for full participation by all students
* qualified, experienced, and friendly teachers
* educational and fun afternoon activities that encourage English language practice
