I think that one of the best ways to improve your English skills is to speak and write only English in something like a camp or any programme that enables students to speak and write in english only. However, as you all know, everything has good points and bad points.

For me, all three camps, Camp Big Apple, Ranch West Camp and Head Start Splash all seem very beneficial to me. They all speak English almost all the time and are all abroad. They offer students to experience new culture and activities. They all have interesting activities even though they are all different.

When I choose which kind of camp I want to go to, I look at how enjoyable it can be, the length, the subjects and the balance of outdoor activities and studying. I think that Camp Big Apple study too much, is too short and the students only study Math and English so I wouldn't be able to enjoy it much. Head Start Splash has too much outdoor activities. If we have too much outdoor activities, when are we going to study? Also the length of the camp is too long.  Ranch West Camp has enough outdoor activities, the length is just right and the students get to choose what they want to study. That's why I think Ranch West camp is the best.

Even though the teaches maybe recent graduates, as the the students live in a home stay style, they can speak English anywhere and learn the other aspects of English other than the English they learn at school. However, in Head Start Splash and Camp Big Apple, the students could speak in their dormitories as they are alone.

In Ranch West Camp, the students can choose a subject they want to learn and study from these subjects: Maths, Art, History, Science, Politics, World cultures, Music, Computer Programming and Literature. While learning a subject that the students are interested in and having fun, the students can improve their English Skills.

Considering other facts and the aspects of each of the camps, I think that Ranch West Camp is the best because of the reasons above.
