Foremost, in Camp Big Apple, students stay 3 weeks in the camp. While Ranch West Camp has 4 weeks of participation, Start Splash Camp makes students stay in the camp for 5 weeks. I believe that 3 weeks is too short to master English as a second language, which was the goal of Camp Big Apple, and 5 weeks will make students too bored to that camp. On the other hand, at Ranch West Camp, students participate in the camp alone for a suitable 4 weeks. This will encourage independence from their family, and better English skills.
Second, I thought about the place the camp is located. The camp I preferred, which was Ranch West Camp, is located in an foreign country, Canada. Although Head Start Splash is also located in a foreign country, Philippine, Canada’s economic situation or citizens who live in the country’s language are more advanced. In order to master English as a second language, living in Canada for 4 weeks will be a suitable time. Additionally, the places students stay is also paramount. In Camp Big Apple, students stay in dormitories, but this might be too much of a burden to students among the camp. In contrast, Ranch West Camp allows students to live in a home stay situation, which will encourage a more special relation with foreigners. Therefore, Ranch West Camp provides the most delightful place to stay.
Third, I believe that teachers who come to the camp are also important. In Camp Big Apple, Korean professors teach students English. In the other hand, at Ranch West Camp, all classes are taught by recent graduates from the local university. Head Start Splash is taught by local teachers with Bachelor’s degrees and certificates. Being taught by local teachers with Bachelor’s degrees and certificates might be good, but I strongly believe that in order to adapt in the camp better, being taught by recent graduates from the local University will have more advantages. Recent Graduates from the local University have better memories of how this camp made students study and what the purpose is, so they will give a lot of help to the camping students.
Lastly, I would like to talk about what students will learn in the camps. Ranch West Camp will help students upgrade and advance what subject students want to participate in the camp. Studying something students do not want to learn is useless, so Ranch West Camp is the most delightful and helpful place for students to study. Additionally, students in Ranch West Camp can learn teamwork by horseback riding, river rafting, hiking, canoeing, and mountain biking with friends. It will be a good chance to learn cooperation.
Thus, I would prefer the Ranch West Camp by seeing the 4 weeks time period, the place, which is Canada, being taught by recent graduates from the local university, and learning what each student want to upgrade. It will be very enjoyable to stay in this camp by home staying and communicating with real foreigners.
