MWS international student camps

Established in 1983, MWS Student Camps has welcomed thousands of young people from more than 50 nations to Canada. From the beginning, MWS has strived to offer and operate innovative, vibrant and exciting programmes. These include summer language camps, closed group study programmes and educational travel. MWS summer language camps are centrally located on university campuses in Toronto and Montreal. The camps offer residential and day programmes. English and/or French language study is complemented by excursions, activities and recreational sports. Closed-group programmes for language travel and study are offered in Toronto and Montreal on set dates, as well as in Ottawa and Quebec City by request.

Since 1983

MWS Student Camps International Inc. was founded in 1983 by Maxine W. Sommerville, a pioneer in language camp development in Canada.

Initially MWS operated the Victoria Language Camps in Toronto and represented select traditional summer camps in Ontario. Young people from around the world would attend the language programmes in Toronto followed by a more traditional “Canadian” camp experience outside of the city.

Over the years the interest in language and education based city camps grew. MWS continued to develop and refine the camps in Toronto and introduced new programmes and travel to Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa and Quebec City.

MWS Toronto English Camps

Each of the above three camps are specifically designed to meet the needs of that particular age group. Thus, there are some activities and excursion that are unique to each camp.

Once per week, the camps have “integration periods” where all three groups come together for special excursions and/or leadership building activities.
