This document summarizes a CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) summer camp program for teenagers. The program was designed to teach leadership skills and have students work collaboratively on projects using English. Students were split into groups to create an original song, plan a sporting event, design an app, organize a culminating event, act out a sketch, and produce short films. The program employed language trainers and project facilitators to guide students through the content using CLIL methodology. Quality control measures like surveys, staff meetings, and observations were used to gather feedback and ensure goals were met. The program resulted in students successfully completing their assigned projects and learning objectives around content, communication, cognition, and culture.
