This summer camp project is a fun and engaging project-based learning activity for ESL students. Perfect for end-of-year or summer school, this resource helps students practice speaking, writing, and vocabulary while designing their own summer camp.
If you’re looking for something that actually works at the end of the year (or during summer school), this is it.
Create a Summer Camp is a ready-to-use, project-based learning activity designed specifically for ESL students. It helps them stay engaged while practicing essential language skills — without adding more work to your plate.
Students get to design their own summer camp from scratch — choosing the name, location, activities, meals, and even a special event. They’ll organize their ideas using planning pages, then present their final product as either a poster or digital slideshow.
Whether your students are energetic, checked out, or somewhere in between, this project gives them choice, structure, and purpose — while you get low-prep, high-engagement lessons that cover speaking, writing, vocabulary, and presentation skills.
✅ What Makes This Resource Different?
Built specifically for ESL learners — with visuals, sentence starters, and vocabulary support throughout
Flexible format: choose poster or digital presentation
Includes a complete teacher guide, timeline, rubric, and feedback forms
Works beautifully for end-of-year, summer school, or test recovery weeks
Keeps students engaged when motivation is low — while still hitting language objectives
What's Included:
Student instructions with project overview
Brainstorming and planning pages (overview, activities, meals, schedule, design)
Sentence starters + vocabulary support
Poster template & digital slide deck layout
Peer feedback form
Teacher guide, timeline, and rubric
Vocabulary slides + “Would You Rather” speaking warm-up slides
This is one of those resources you’ll find yourself coming back to every year — especially when you're short on time and energy but still want meaningful, language-rich learning.
Would rather buy on TPT?
