What age groups can attend Evolve Academy camps?
Our English immersion camps welcome children and teenagers aged 8-16 years old. We carefully organize campers into age-appropriate groups to ensure that activities, lessons, and social experiences match their developmental stage and English proficiency level. Each camp is designed to create a comfortable, supportive environment where students can build confidence while making friends their own age. For younger children under 8 or adults interested in English learning, we offer personalized English classes year-round in Sofia that can be tailored to any age or skill level.

Where are Evolve Academy English camps located?
We run English immersion camps in stunning locations across Bulgaria and Greece, carefully selected for their natural beauty and cultural richness. Our Winter Camp 2026 takes place in Trigrad, Bulgaria—a breathtaking mountain region known for its dramatic caves and spa facilities. Our summer camps rotate between scenic coastal and mountain destinations that combine outdoor adventure with authentic cultural experiences. All camp locations are easily accessible from Sofia, with round-trip transportation included in the camp fee. Each location offers unique activities that bring English learning to life through exploration and hands-on experiences. Explore our current camp locations
Are the camps suitable for beginners in English?
Yes, absolutely! Our camps are specifically designed to help students at all levels—including complete beginners—start feeling confident speaking English in a natural and encouraging environment. We create a low-pressure atmosphere where students practice English alongside other non-native speakers, which reduces anxiety and builds confidence faster than traditional classroom settings. Through games, activities, creative projects, and real-world conversations, beginners quickly discover they can communicate and express themselves in English. Our experienced instructors are trained to support students at every proficiency level, ensuring everyone feels successful and motivated. By the end of camp, even students who arrive nervous about speaking English leave with noticeably improved confidence and communication skills.
Do you offer camps year-round or only seasonal?
We offer seasonal English immersion camps during school holidays—typically during winter break (February), spring break (March/April), and summer vacation (June-August). These multi-day adventure camps combine intensive English practice with outdoor activities and cultural exploration in beautiful locations across Bulgaria and Greece. However, we understand that families need flexible options throughout the year. That's why we also provide custom English classes year-round in Sofia, available as private sessions or small group lessons. These can be scheduled online or face-to-face to fit your family's needs, whether you want weekly lessons, intensive courses, or preparation before attending one of our camps.

Will my child's English actually improve during camp?
Yes! Parents consistently report noticeable improvements in their child's English confidence and communication skills after attending our camps. While a few days won't make your child fluent, the immersive environment creates rapid progress in several key areas: speaking confidence, listening comprehension, vocabulary expansion, and willingness to use English in real situations. Unlike traditional classroom learning, our camps use total English immersion—students naturally absorb the language through constant exposure during activities, meals, games, and social time. This "learning by doing" approach is especially powerful for children, as it activates multiple parts of the brain and creates positive emotional associations with speaking English. Many parents tell us their child returns home more eager to practice English, asks to continue lessons, or shows dramatically reduced fear of making mistakes—which is often the biggest breakthrough for language learners.

What teaching methods do you use at Evolve Academy?
At Evolve Academy, we believe in learning by doing rather than traditional memorization and grammar drills. Our teaching philosophy centers on natural language acquisition—students learn English the same way they learned their first language: through meaningful experiences, real conversations, and genuine interaction. We employ skilled professionals who are experts in their fields—whether that's outdoor education, arts, sports, or cultural activities—to lead English-based workshops and projects that naturally spark interest and inspiration. When students are excited about rock climbing, cooking, or creative arts, they forget they're "studying" English and simply use it as a tool to participate. This approach activates multiple learning pathways in the brain and creates positive emotional associations with speaking English. Our instructors are trained to facilitate rather than lecture, encouraging students to express themselves, make mistakes without fear, and build confidence through authentic communication.

Can my child continue English lessons after camp?
Absolutely! We offer year-round English classes and courses in Sofia for students of all levels and goals. Many families use our camps as a springboard for continued English learning, and we're here to support your child's language journey long after camp ends. We provide private one-on-one lessons, small group classes, and customized courses tailored to your child's specific needs—whether they're preparing for exams, working on conversational fluency, building academic English skills, or simply maintaining the progress they made at camp. Classes can be scheduled online or face-to-face in Sofia, with flexible timing to fit your family's schedule. We also offer intensive courses during school breaks if you prefer concentrated learning periods. Our instructors track each student's progress and create personalized learning plans to ensure continuous improvement. Many of our camp alumni continue with regular lessons throughout the year and return to camps each season. Explore our English courses and schedule a trial lesson
Is Evolve Academy suitable for teenagers?
Yes, our programs are fantastic for teenagers! In fact, the teenage years are one of the most critical times for building English confidence and communication skills. Our camps are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of adolescents aged 13-16, providing them with tools and confidence they need during this formative period of their lives. Teenagers face increasing academic pressure, social challenges, and preparation for their future—strong English skills open doors to international universities, global career opportunities, and cross-cultural friendships. Our immersive environment helps teens overcome the self-consciousness that often holds them back in traditional classrooms. They practice English with peers from diverse backgrounds in low-pressure, adventure-based settings where making mistakes is part of the learning process. Beyond language skills, our camps build independence, leadership abilities, cultural awareness, and social confidence—essential life skills for success in our interconnected world. Many parents tell us their teenagers return from camp more mature, self-assured, and motivated about their English learning journey. Read testimonials from teenage campers and their parents
