     Summer camps started from the US. They are programs for teenagers during the summer months in
some countries. Teenagers who take part in summer camps are known as campers. The traditional summer
camp usually means hiking, game-playing and campfires. Now modern summer camps can offer campers
a great many activities. Among them, the intemational summer camp is quite popular, especially with Chinese
campers. 
     First of all, the intemational summer camp can bring campers unusual life experience. As we all know,
the experience in high school plays a very important role in life. The international summer camp is a great
way to establish (確立) the right values for life. Campers will experience the cultural difference-something
they can't get at home from their families. During the international summer camp, children will become more
independent and see new things. They can also leam more through talking with students from all over the
world.
     Making friends is another point. The intemational summer camp mixes (混合) Chinese students with
students from other countries in the world. No matter whether they live with a local family or live with other
students in dormitories (宿舍), they will all share experiences and cultures with persons from different
countries and cultural backgrounds, learn cross-culture communication skills by listening to others and
expressing themselves, and improve friendship over several weeks. They often stay in touch with each
other by email,MSN or QQ after the program finishes.
     The most exciting thing in the intemational summer camp is that Chinese campers can get excellent
chances to speak and use English in a real English world. Language is not only knowledge; it is a skill which
needs to be improved by using it. Campers from English-speaking countries are very friendly, warm-hearted
and helpful.
