How Much Will A Camp Cost?

Determining the cost for a camp is multifaceted. There are big items—like housing, classes, and meals—and there is also a myriad of small details that must be figured in. With a lead time of a few months, we can plan and negotiate all of the costs so that everything we need is included. If you are interested in exploring a camp with us, we need to begin with some basic information.

When would you like to come?
How many campers will come?
Their ages, genders, and English levels.
Will any campers be below the age of 15?
How many accompanying adults will come?
How many days would you like for the camp to be?
How many hours of English per day would you like? (4 or 5 on weekdays only.)
On how many school days do you want after-school activities?
How many all-day weekend activities do you want?
Do you want to take the group out of the city, or to another island while you are here?
Do you want ETHOS housing, or do we need to find a place outside?

There will be additional details we will need later, but once we have these, we can begin working on a package for you. We will be thorough and include as much as possible. Our goal is to make the experience fun and rewarding—something the kids will remember for a long time! The list below will give you an idea of the kinds of expenses we anticipate during the camp.

These things ARE included in the price:

Airport transfers.
Tuition and study materials.
Use of the school facility.
All taxes and service fees.
Purified drinking water at school and in ETHOS housing facilities.
Wi-Fi at the housing and school facilities.

Transportation for all camp activities.

These things ARE NOT included in the price:

How Do We Pay For The Camp?

Because the amount will be significant, we require bank transfers. Once the package has been finalized, we will require a 25% non-refundable registration fee to confirm your camp booking. We will send a billing invoice for this payment as soon as we agree on the package details. Once we receive this registration fee, we will reserve your housing and classes and pay any reservation fees required by outside providers for camp services and activities.

Three weeks before your scheduled arrival at ETHOS, we will send you an invoice for the balance payment. You must pay this amount no later than 15 days before you leave to come to ETHOS.

Very important… We must receive full payment before you depart for the camp!

Please read the Payment Policy for special rules regarding cancellations and refunds.

Comments from our students:

“It was so much fun and I’m glad I chose Ethos. My pronunciation has greatly improved and I made a lot of Filipino friends. With the study abroad plan I can work in a hotel in Australia and I think it is fascinating. I had fun when I went out to eat BBQ with the teachers and students and it tastes good. I enjoyed talking about various things. I got to eat chocolate cake when there is a celebration or everyone’s birthday. I was very happy when I passed the interview for working holiday and we celebrated.” - M Shimakawa (Japan - studying English)

“I used Google maps and analyzed all English schools in Cebu. ETHOS had English native speakers, English culture and traditions, perfect studying conditions, American pronunciation, safe area, two big malls nearby, common meetings. I am totally satisfied. Pronunciation and reading lessons were more than I expected. I improved my writing. The Bible elective classes were high level and I regret that I didn’t attend them more often. I stayed in the dorm and it was the best one that I have ever stayed at. Modern, clean, and fully packed, comfortable two floor house with any item you might need just a minute from the school. What could be better? Perfect 100%.” - O Davidova (Russia - studying English)

“I enjoyed talking with my teachers’ every day and went on a trip with everyone. It’s cheaper than going to America since American teachers can teach you English. It was so much fun and the day ended too soon!” - R Hashino (Japan - studying English)

“A friend introduced me to ETHOS. I chose this school because it’s all American. The learning atmosphere at ETHOS is very good. The students are very well taken care of by ETHOS. I felt good, they took good care of me. I liked the Home Stay feeling very much.” - J Tsai (Taiwan - studying English)

“When I searched the internet for studying abroad in Cebu, I found a blog and found out about Ethos. I was able to learn English from native speakers, I had Home Stay housing in an American teacher’s home. I was able to talk to a native speaker every day, which really helped me learn a lot. I had an experience I will never forget. I’m really glad I came. Thank you very much.” - S Endo (Japan - studying English)

“It was really fun to be taught by Americans and being able to Home Stay in an American home. The teachers and Filipino staff were friendly and the overseas students who came were all serious and kind, so I felt like we had been together for a long time even though I only had two weeks.” - Y Sato (Japan - studyng English)

“The teachers really taught me thoroughly so I tried hard and did my best. I was able to go out to eat a lot with my fellow overseas students. I had a lot of fun with the American teachers’ kids and I enjoyed spending time with my neighbors.” - S Tamura (Japan - studying English)

“Actually, I really wanted to go to America but if I didn’t have the money and could study with Americans in Cebu, I thought it would be okay to go to Cebu without going to America. It was really fun! I’m really glad I made it to Ethos. I’m very happy that the teachers treated me as their own family. The daily lessons were very fun that four months passed by just like that.” - Y Okamura (Japan - studying English)

“I worried about the peace and order of the Philippines. Could I make it through graduation with my English knowledge? I had Home Stay and I enjoyed every day. It was a very fun 13 weeks! And I was able to make a lot of good memories with the intern. We always had fun every day!” - M Fujimoto (Japan - studying English)
