Who we are

About us

The EI Camp is the brainchild of a cohort of experienced educators in Turkey, who have been working together for over 15 years, have rich summer camp backgrounds and recognized that there is a lack of  English language immersion opportunities in Turkey.

Goals

EI Camp offers Turkey’s first English immersion experience, where campers learn through engaging activities and daily routines. It emphasizes safety, creativity, teamwork, and communication, ensuring a supportive environment for language growth. Continuous improvement through experience and dedication is a core goal of the program.

Who we are

The camp leadership has over 30 years of camp experience in Turkey and abroad.  Daily activities are led by a talented group of native English speaking and bilingual counselors, who will facilitate a diverse range of activities and encourage campers to gain skills through engagement and experiential learning.  The counselor to camper ratio will be approximately 1-6, allowing optimal support and mentoring for all campers.
