The living accommodation is situated in the student residences in the northwest part of Calgary, one of the most attractive and suburban areas in Calgary. It is a friendly campus for students and those who join the camp discover that the campus is a stimulating place to learn and a relaxing place to reside. |
The students begin their mornings by having breakfast with a teacher, thus strengthening the warm, friendly, and intimate atmosphere.
At noon, the students all meet for lunch. For the mid-day meal, students select from a large variety of soups, salads, vegetables and main dishes: meat, fish and vegetarian. One teacher sits at the table and asks 5 or 6 students from different countries to come and join her/him. This encourages the students to speak English.
Evening meals are similar to lunch; students and teachers eat supper together. |
