  • Malou Pierson, France, 16

    I found it really cool to be either outside or inside. The places were comfortable and adapted for class & cool at the same time. 

    I also enjoyed being with people that have different nationality so I could speak English all the time.

Safety & Supervision

The welfare of our teens is something that we take very seriously and is at the heart
of everything that we do at English Outdoors. The supervision, safety and well-being
of the young people who book a program with us is absolutely crucial
to ensuring that they have a great experience while in NYC.

  • All EO Teens are given lanyards to wear upon arrival in New York. These lanyards include EO program information, their name, their Language Guide's name, and the emergency contact number.

  • Activities and excursions are led by our EO camp chaperones, at a ratio of 15 teens per chaperone. They are here to make sure the Teens are safe at all times during outings. The activity program is compulsory and teens must attend all the supervised activities organized by the program.

  • A health form informing us of any allergies/treatments/diets will be sent out to the parents at the time of booking and should be returned to the us completed and signed no later than 6 weeks before the start of the program.

  • We have live-in residence managers at our Brooklyn Residence who are on-site 24/7 to look after participants. Teens also receive an ID card upon arrival and must use it to gain access to the residence and their rooms.

  • EO Teens must be in their bedrooms by 10:30PM. The residence managers ensure that all teens respect the curfew. Teens are not allowed out in the evening unless they are with the chaperones for scheduled evening activities.

  • The EO Coordinator, who is also the Teen welfare officer, is available 24/7 in case of emergencies.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Despite having a population of more than 8 million people, New York City consistently ranks in the top ten safest large cities in the United States. As in any large city, travelers should be careful of pickpockets and hustlers, but our camp counselors are here to guide students and give them safety tips.

  • All English classes will take place outside the classroom in places such Brooklyn Bridge Park, Bryant Park, Pier 57, Industry City or Brookfield place. So instead of being in a room with 4 walls, students will practice English in authentic locations and the city will become their classroom!

  • Yes and yes! Locations have been carefully chosen based on comfort, space, ease of access, points of interest close by, proximity of public restrooms, etc. They take place in small groups of 8 maximum seated around a table.

  • English Outdoors is not a traditional ESL school or class. Instead, our English classes focus on practicing speaking, gaining confidence, and building overall fluency.

    Our expert EO teachers utilize iPads, smart phones, NYC topics, and other materials to keep the English sessions engaging and the conversation flowing. Instead of doing traditional grammar exercises or book work, our English classes focus on speaking and conversation so that you can practice your English and improve your overall fluency.

  • No there is no book. We don't follow a traditional course book but handouts / class materials are provided for each excursionEnglish Outdoors focuses on fluency and gaining confidence instead of strict grammar instruction. Examples of fluency activities include discussions, debates, presentations, games, storytelling and of course our topic-driven class excursions.

    We recommend you take a look at our ‘Focus on Fluency’ section in the About Us page of our website for more information on the concept.

  • Since English classes will predominantly take place in indoor and outdoor locstions throughout the city, students will naturally be immersed in NYC life and culture. With this interactive class concept, not only will students be exploring all that NYC has to offer, but this gives them real world scenarios to practice their English and live like a real New Yorker!

  • If it rains, gets too hot or too cold, classes will switch to an indoor venue or be taken on one of our many cultural or educational class excursions located in indoor locations. New York City is full of great museums and semi-secret indoor public spaces!

  • Any health and dietary requirements (allergies, special diets, medical conditions, etc.) need to be included in the enrollment form at the time of booking. Staff will be aware of these and take them into account at mealtimes.

  • The first couple of days are often quite daunting as students adjust to a new country, customs, language, and new friends. This is normal and usually goes away after they’ve settled in. If the homesickness persists, however, your child can go home, but please note that no refund will be possible.

    English Outdoors will not be held responsible for any extra charges involved (such as changes to flights, etc.).

    We recommend that you encourage your child to stay in New York though, as we know from experience that after the initial fear of the unknown, our students have a great time and don’t want to leave!

  • We recommend at least $150 per week (already changed into dollars) to make sure they can make the most of their shopping opportunities. It may sound like a lot but students often want to purchase clothes or shoes as well as souvenirs, drinks, and snacks.

  • Yes every student must have a comprehensive insurance package before leaving home.

    Check our our recommended insurance provider.
