Abstract
The Everyday English Every Day Summer Camp was a 10 day English immersion experience for 114 secondary 1 and 2 students along with 15 student teachers and the camp facilitators. This article reports on the development, design and evaluation of the camp. The student teachers who were involved both as developers and teachers acquired many insights into teaching in general and their own teaching strengths and weaknesses in particular. The students found that English was not as difficult as they had thought and that it was easier to speak in English when they worked in small cooperative learning groups and engaged in interesting tasks. The summer camp was a tremendous success for all participants.
