English camp is exactly what it sounds like - a group of students come out to an activity center, kind of like a YMCA but with dorms and a cafeteria, and spend three days playing games intended to teach them English. The kids are all about 13 or 14 years old but are often quite shy, and would probably seem younger to most Americans. There were about 30 or 40 students and maybe 20 teachers, so we had a pretty good ratio. There were about 6 groups of kids with 3 teachers per group. My group had three teachers, and our students decided (with our help, of course) to name themselves the 'Chocolate Kitties,' this being the result of an inability to decide a preference between two favorite things (chocolate and hello kitty).
The camp was fun but admittedly exhausting, as there were a lot of kids to keep entertained and to attempt to communicate with. However, when the final bonfire came around, everyone had enough energy to join in.
