Food for Students in the Summer Camp Program in Calgary
At our Calgary summer camp campus, students are fortunate to benefit from the presence of a chef school on campus. Chef's in training prepare the food for students and it is made-to-order which is great! That means that the students actually have to order their food IN ENGLISH. Students not only get to communicate to the chefs in English but they also get top notch food and there is great variety.

“I have been teaching in Keelung, Taiwan for over 1 year now, and plan to stay at least another. Footprints Recruiting was an invaluable service for me, assisting in many ways to ensure I had a smooth transition. Without their support, moving to Taiwan would have been much more difficult, and my experience much less enjoyable. I have, of course, become friends with other teachers, both in my school and elsewhere, who did not come via Footprints Recruiting. Many had encountered problems, such as teaching at an unprofessional school, visa problems, housing problems, etc. I am grateful I never had any such difficulties. My experience in Taiwan has been wonderful.”
