For the
last few years, my children have been going to a summer camp in northern Greece
called Skouras Camp. They always seem to have a good time, so if you’ re
wondering what to do with the kids for three weeks this summer, you could do
worse than send them to this beautiful camp on the shores of the Aegean Sea. If
your children, like mine, are keen on adventure, sports and good company, the
Skouras Camp will keep them busy all day doing the things they most enjoy.
Skouras is an international camp with children from all over the world. My
children have made friends with children of their own age from Poland, China,
Demark and the United States. Naturally, they get lots of opportunities to
practise their English as this is the only language spoken. The camp is located
in one of the most beautiful parts of Chalkidiki. It is huge (120.000 square
meters) and is just a stone’s throw away from clear, blue Aegean Sea. It takes
the children just five minutes to walk to the golden sandy beach on foot. The
programme is packed with exciting
activities such as horse riding and table tennis. Other sports include baseball,
volleyball and athletics. The Camp ends with a sports contest in the last week
which all parents are invited to attend.
A. Choose the best answer by circling the correct
letter A, B, C, or D. (1.2 pt)
