Nowadays, the availability of trips for children to English-speaking countries offered is enormous and, as parents, what most worried us at the time of letting our children go abroad, was not that they learnt English but rather that they learnt English in the right environment.  Mary Jane, whom we have known for many years and in whom we had full confidence, proved to be not only and excellent teacher but a was like a mother for them during their stay , especially for our 9 year old daughter for whom it was the first time away from us. The children that participated were also key in making their days at camp more fun and worthwhile because they shared everything and always in good harmony.  Without a doubt, they learnt English and became more fluent and enjoyed themselves with all the activities that the Irish camp organized. To these times of leisure were added many learning moments with Mary Jane which were also enjoyable and useful because that is how she teaches children, using, for instance, cooking, experiments, videos, games, etc.
