Many people will think of going abroad to other foreign countries to learn and experience English. I will suggest you guys to go to one of these camps. Camp Big Apple and Ranch West camp. In order to help you to make a decision, I will give you some pros and cons of each camp.
Since the purpose of going camp is to learn English, we should take a close look at their classes. Camp Big apple focuses on building vocabulary and math skills with goal of preparing for the test such as SAT. On the other hand, Ranch West Camp focuses on a variety of subjects. Students can choose subjects they would like to study. I think Ranch West Camp has better program because Camp Big Apple focuses too much on preparing for the test that students don't need to know yet.
Students should also have a good daily living environment. Camp Big Apple makes students to stay in dormitories with other foreign students. This can provide an environment for studying. However, if Korean are together they will have chances to speak Korean. This can give negative effects to the students who are participating in this camp. However, Ranch West Camp makes students to home-stay which can help them to improve their English skill because they will have Native English speakers all around them.
Parents and students should also consider about the teachers. Camp Big Apple has teachers who are Korean with at least Master Degree. However, if Korean students meet Korean professors, there will be chances to speak Korean. Also, we don't know what subject of Masters Degree they have. Although, Ranch West camp has teachers who recently graduated from a local university, they can have a lack of teaching experiences. However, they can have good grammar and accent because they are Native English speakers.
Considering these factors, I think Ranch West camp is the best camp for students to go because of many classes and the environment provided for the students.
