Summer ESL Camp - Group Building
As most of the students attending the Summer ESL Camps may not know the other students in the program and in their group, group building is a very important component of the program.
First and foremost, the students will only be able to leave the dormitory with their mentor and their mentor group. Since the students will do all the program activities together it is important that can cooperate with each other and to compromise when they disagree.
Challenge
Course activities will provide each group with time and activities
when students will get to know each other and get to know their mentor.
The students will participate in Games and low element group activities:
Games
The purpose of games is to take the group from a simple warm-up to more
complex problems requiring the group to plan and implement strategies
to successfully complete a task. This time is necessary for the group
to stretch, get to know one another, and to take small risks. Games and
initiatives set a team building tone for the day.
Low Elements
The purpose of low elements is to move participants through a series of
activities that are anywhere from ground level to three feet off the ground.
Each element presents a unique degree of difficulty and must be accomplished
as a group.
