A family holiday in Phuket Island is certainly a good idea to enjoy the white sand beaches and clear waters of Thailand. While parents are resting, teenage children surely want more fun independent activities. A summer camp in one of the International schools in Phuket seems a pleasing option as teenagers can enjoy being with other youths while their parents are sun-bathing.

These summer camps are usually for non-English speakers who learn English in addition to the practice of sports like football, swimming, tennis and golf. There are of course other options oriented more on sports for native English speaker teenagers. Phuket is the ideal place in Thailand for a summer camp. This is what Melanie, a 13 years old, has to say about her participation in a camp:

"This camp was very interesting, it was a camp where we studied and had activities every day. When we arrived at the Phuket airport, a few teachers welcomed us and drove us to the school by van. This school was very big, with large green areas including football fields and several indoor halls for other sports. There were also two swimming pools, a small pool for kindergarten and primary children, and a large pool for secondary children."

A summer camp is not only a solution to occupy children during a family trip, but a unique experience for young people who can be sent alone to Phuket and be very well taken care of by the school organizing the summer camp. There, they can meet friends of their age of different nationalities and have fun lessons like cooking in addition of the language classes. Melanie comments her learning experience:

"We were about 30 students during the two weeks camp. In this summer camp, we had English courses in the morning and evening. We had snacks and drinks every 2 hours, and everyday we had sport activities like basketball, badminton or football. For the English courses, there were 3 classrooms with 3 different levels. During the second week of the class, we had cooking and swimming!"

Some activities for teenagers can also be arranged for shorter terms like a week or on a daily basis in some smaller schools or organizations. Kayaking, yachting, snorkeling, scuba diving, jet skiing and banana boat riding are great water sports that teenagers will enjoy on their own. And for those teens who can't go away from their parents, there are still plenty of fun activities that can be done together as a family.

Participating in a summer camp in Phuket can be a memory of a lifetime for many teenagers who will go back home with new friendships made. Phuket has top international facilities and schools that can accommodate parents and teenagers alike.
