Why the Teenage Years Are the Best Time for Self-Discovery at BSA English Camps
According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, the teenage years are from age 10 to 19. This is an important time when kids start to build confidence, explore their interests, and learn more about who they are. It’s also a great time to learn new languages and experience different cultures through fun, hands-on activities.
Whether your child studies at an international school or not, this age is full of curiosity and growth. Letting them step out of their comfort zone, use real English, and make new friends from other school can really help with their development.
That’s why BSA English Camps in Singapore and Korea are great for teens aged 10 to 18. Our programs don’t just help improve English; they also teach independence, leadership, and help create special memories. With full support and care, many Thai families trust our camps as a safe and fun way for their children to grow.
Why BSA English Camps Are the Best Choice for Teenagers
✅ 1. Real-Life English in Action
The teenage years are a time of major physical, emotional, and social changes. Many teens feel self-conscious or unsure of themselves as they begin to discover who they are. During this stage, they often explore different interests, values, and personalities in search of their identity.
At BSA English Camp, students don’t just sit in classrooms. They use English every day in real-life scenarios, whether ordering food in a café, exploring a museum, navigating public transport, or joining group projects. This kind of learning naturally boosts their confidence and communication skills.
✅ 2. Confidence and Leadership Development
Today, 97% of teenagers say they use their phones during the school day. many spend hours staring at screens, which can lead to feelings of isolation and distraction. While technology has its benefits, too much screen time can affect their social skills and emotional well-being.
However, our camp has seen this challenge firsthand. Some students arrive feeling shy or overly attached to their phones, sometimes even showing signs of frustration or aggression. But through fun group activities, we help them disconnect and re-engage with the world around them.
We encourage every student to take part in teamwork and leadership roles. These activities help them build confidence, communicate better, and form friendships, often with kids from other countries, like Vietnamese kids and beyond. By the end of the camp, many students feel more open, independent, and ready to lead.
✅ 3. Safe, Full-Support Environment
We understand that sending your child abroad is a big decision for any parent. That’s why BSA English Camps are carefully designed to provide a safe, structured, and fully supported experience every step of the way.
From flights and accommodation to meals, transportation, and daily activities, everything is arranged by the experienced Berlitz team. Our staff offers 24/7 supervision, even helping students wake up in the morning to get ready for class and join group activities.
Also, it’s not just Berlitz Thailand involved; we also collaborate closely with our international Berlitz teams, including those in Berlitz Vietnam and Berlitz Singapore. This diverse and united team works together to make sure your child feels safe, happy, and well cared for throughout their entire journey.
