VOLUNTEER TO TEACH ENGLISH IN BRAZIL TO YOUTH IN A TRADITIONAL SUMMER CAMP SETTING
Our English Camp is an English language immersion camp established in Brazil with the purpose to motivate kids and teens between 5 to 17 years old to speak, practice and learn English. The English Camp is located in the beautiful countryside of Sao Paulo, in the southeast of Brazil, approximately 2 hours outside of the city. It's a great place to teach English in Brazil.
Young Brazilians from 5 to 17 years old attend this camp for fun and to learn English.
