# Intensive English
## **STAMFORD AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL**
### (Ages 5 to 13)
The overall goal of the 2-week Intensive English program is to help campers improve their confidence and proficiency in English. The language skills the children develop at camp will help to bring them up to speed with their international peers and properly prepare them for their studies. The benefits of Intensive English camp span far beyond the classroom: campers will be able to open more doors, make new relationships and ultimately make the world feel like a much smaller place!
This program is runby Stamford American International School's top class EAL (English as a Second Language) teachers. Their team is comprised of highly qualified staff, certified to teach English language learners in an environment with low teacher/child ratios not to exceed 1 teacher to 12 campers. Children will have access to class instruction at an appropriate grade level to set them up for effective progression.
*Please note that Intensive English is a **2-week course** so you will be enrolling your child for both back-to-back weeks.*

# Creative **Coding**
## Digital Story-Telling & Game Design (Ages 6-8)
**Uses Scratch or similar block programming platforms.**
Through story-telling and game design, we will be helping the young coders express their creativity while learning the fundamentals of coding and computational thinking. Each day, your child will be either creating their own interactive story or learning new coding techniques as they create multimedia games. On the last day, they will combine everything they learned into an original project.
## Classic Game Design (Ages 9-11)
**Uses Scratch, GDevelop or similar platforms.**
In this program, kids will learn to code while re-creating their own version of classics video games. New coders will be guided through the basics, while even the most experienced coder will find new techniques to add to their repertoire. Through creating their own artwork, level designs, and adding their own unique "spin" to the classics, kids will get to learn coding fundamentals while they experience what's it's like to design a video game.
**We have ample equipment for everyone, so please do not send your child to camp with a computer or tablet*.*
"Aiden has always been a tech kid so this was the best camp for him, it made his holiday special and he picked up so many new skills.”
