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

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. |

kitchen. In each bedroom there is a
telephone so that students can call home. |
