Los camps son campamentos de inmersión a la lengua inglesa, diseñados para entregar a estudiantes de educación media municipalizada y particular subvencionada, la oportunidad de practicar el inglés en contextos reales con actividades interactivas, a través de un dinámico plan curricular elaborado desde el Programa Inglés Abre Puertas del Ministerio de Educación, durante las vacaciones de invierno y verano.
Un camp es una actividad que se realiza durante una semana de vacaciones, con una jornada que va entre las 10:00 y las 17:30 horas, guiada por un equipo de nativos angloparlantes y profesores chilenos de inglés, proveyendo al estudiante de los materiales y la alimentación necesaria.
