01 · Program Overview

Start with who runs the program and who supports daily life.

A camp managed directly by JStay and a fixed program delivered by a local provider offer different experiences and levels of care. We compare those two models first, then select by age and purpose.

01

JStay direct

Small-group four weeks with ESL, local life, accommodation and guardianship

02

Provider-linked

Established teaching, activities and international settings selected by age

03

Regular-school study

A deeper experience in real public or private-school classes

2027 CAMP OPTIONS

Two ways to experience a Canadian camp in 2027

Choose between JStay's small-group family-style one-month program, where we manage accommodation and daily care directly, or a provider-led program selected from established local education organizations.

JSTAY DIRECT · 4 WEEKS

JStay Family-Style One-Month Camp

Learn English in the morning, experience Vancouver in the afternoon and live the Canadian everyday in a closely supported four-week program.

  • Upper-elementary to middle school
  • A trial before long-term study
  • Students needing close family-style care
Strength

JStay directly connects accommodation, guardianship, daily care and activities in one program.

Consider

Places are limited and shared-living expectations apply, so availability and fit are reviewed first.

LOCAL EDUCATION PROVIDERS

Provider-Linked Camps

JStay compares programs from ILSC, IH, Tamwood, VanWest and VGC around age, curriculum, international mix and care requirements.

  • Established provider curriculum
  • Broader international student mix
  • More choices by age and duration
Strength

Students can use the provider's established teaching, activities, facilities and international-program experience.

Consider

Schedules are fixed, while accommodation, commuting and guardianship requirements vary by provider.

PROVIDER-LINKED OPTIONS

Local programs organized by age and conditions

JStay helps families compare and register for the right provider program, then connects accommodation, guardianship and agreed local support.

Elementary to lower middle school
ILSC Junior Camp
Ages 9–17 · 1–4 weeks

A practical option balancing 14 hours of English weekly with weekday-afternoon and Saturday activities.

Students may attend without a parent, but ages 9–12 require a local guardian. Provider homestay commuting averages about 45–60 minutes.
Elementary to lower middle school
IH Vancouver
Ages 9–17 · four weeks in the 2025 format

Four days of integrated English and project learning with three weekly activities or field trips.

Daily pickup and drop-off by a parent or guardian is required. 2027 dates and fees will be confirmed.
Middle and high school
Tamwood
Teen program · varies by season

A strong candidate for teens seeking international student interaction and a university-campus experience.

The 2027 campus, ages, dates and inclusions will be confirmed after official release.
Middle and high school
VanWest College
Teen seasonal option

A seasonal English-and-activities option reviewed around each student's age, goals and preferred experience.

Official 2027 ages, dates, accommodation and program structure will be confirmed by season.
Adult-accompanied reference option
VGC Junior
Ages 9–12 · 2–5 weeks

An elementary-age program centred on approximately 25 hours of intensive English per week.

Official conditions require an accompanying adult, so it is presented as a family-accompanied option rather than a student-alone camp.
ACCOMMODATION & CARE

Accommodation changes the level of care

Provider package homestay

The provider combines accommodation, meals and airport transfer, making registration relatively simple.

Advantages
  • Canadian family life and English environment
  • One provider package to arrange
Check first
  • Placement near the school is not guaranteed
  • A host family is not a dedicated guardian
JStay House integrated care

Accommodation, meals, guardianship and daily care are connected so younger students can be supported before school and after they return.

Advantages
  • Guardianship and daily care together
  • Close response to wellbeing or problems
Check first
  • Limited places must be confirmed
  • Shared-living rules apply

Typical camp process

SHORT-TERM SCHOOL STUDY

Short-term study in a regular Canadian school

This is a deeper option than a seasonal camp, giving students direct experience of classes and daily life in a Canadian school. JStay draws on repeated experience arranging three-month placements through Delta School District when guiding families through school and accommodation choices.

01

Delta School District · 3 months

Guidance grounded in JStay's repeated hands-on placement and local-support experience.

02

Surrey School District · up to 6 months

Availability is reviewed according to student profile, intake timing, district policy and capacity.

03

Selected private schools · from 1 month

Some schools may accept elementary students for shorter periods, reviewed individually.

Eligible grades, duration and school placement depend on current district or school policies, intake timing and capacity. Availability is confirmed after consultation.

07 · FAQ

FAQ

How do JStay direct and provider-linked camps differ?

In the direct program, JStay connects accommodation, guardianship, daily care and activities throughout four weeks. In a provider-linked camp, the education organization delivers classes and activities while JStay supports program selection, registration and agreed local care.

What does the JStay one-month camp cost?

The 2027 four-week Full Care Program is CAD $5,500. It includes accommodation and meals, practical English, Vancouver activities, daily-life and guardian care, local transportation, airport pickup and drop-off, hospital accompaniment when needed and regular parent reports. Round-trip airfare, travel insurance, personal spending and selected optional special activities are separate.

How many students are accepted?

Enrollment is limited to the first six students per session.

Which providers suit each age group?

We first compare ILSC and IH for elementary to lower-middle students, and Tamwood and VanWest for middle and high school. VGC Junior is presented as an adult-accompanied reference option.

How are camps and short-term study different?

Camps centre on English, activities and cultural experience. Short-term study places the student in regular classes and daily school life at a Canadian public or private school.

Are the 2027 provider programs confirmed?

Dates, fees, eligible ages and inclusions are finalized after each provider publishes its official 2027 offer. Current comparisons use prior formats and the character of each program.

Can a beginner participate?

Some programs welcome beginners, but not every camp or school setting is suitable. We review both teaching and daily support.

How is accommodation arranged?

We compare provider package homestay and, when suitable and available, JStay House around age, commuting and required care.

Do parents receive updates?

Parent reports are included in the JStay direct program. Provider-linked students receive updates when JStay local care is part of the agreed service.
