CAMP PROGRAMS
The WIESCO
English language camps meet for three weeks, five days a week. In Poland
the students live on the school grounds while the camp is session. In Lithuania,
Russia and Latvia
the students live at home and come during the day. Plans are not yet set for
Macedonia in 2010. Please read the Conditions

The American staff for a typical camp consists of ten teachers
and three student assistants. A host -school staff of four or five provide administrative
and liaison support. In the resident camps, the host school staff also provides
dormitory supervision.
Each American teacher has a homeroom class of about twelve students. You meet your homeroom classes every morning. After the morning homeroom session, students from other homerooms come to you for lessons . After another short afternoon homeroom, the remainder of the day is devoted to activities.
