For the last few years, my children have been going to a summer camp in northern Greece called Skouras Camp. They always seem to have a good time. , so if you’ re wondering what to do with the kids for three weeks this summer, you could do worse than send them to this beautiful camp on the shores of the Aegean Sea. If your children, like mine, are keen on adventure, sports and good company, the Skouras Camp will keep them busy all day doing the things they most enjoy. Skouras is an international camp with children from all over the world. My children have made friends with children with of their own age from Poland , China, Denmark and the United States. Naturally they get lots of opportunities to practice their English as this is the only language spoken. The camp is located in one of the most beautiful parts of Chalkidiki. It is huge (120,000 square meters) and is just a stone’s throw away from the clear, blue Aegean Sea. It takes the children just five minutes to walk to the golden sandy beach on foot. The programme is packed with exciting activities such as horse riding and table tennis. Other sports include basketball, volleyball and athletics. The Camps end with a sports contest in the last week which all parents are invited to attend.

a. be at the same age b. be only keen on adventure
c. speak English d. practice basketball
2. How many kinds of sports can be played in the Camp?
a. 5 b. 2 c. 3
